They Don't Salsa

If you want to dance the salsa, you have to go to Mexico or some other Latino country.  However, if you want to flamenco, then Spain is the right place for you.  In my program we had a special flamenco show just for us (a private showing, how special are we?!).  Flamenco isn't just dancing, as I thought it was.  Flamenco is also a style of singing and playing the guitar.  Its really pretty.  I personally prefer the Spanish guitar to the singing, but that's just me. Here are some pictures of the performers.  I managed to snag a picture with each of them, unfortunately my Spanish was quite up to par yet, and I have this complex where after I say "Hello" I don't know what to say next and I just smile and make an awkward retreat, therefore the picture was quite a feat.

In the theme of music here is a link to my favorite Spanish song.  Its not flamenco, and its not Spanish, but its in Spanish.  That counts right?  Oh, and disregard the music video, its really strange.
