Flamenco won't die, but probably the other traditional dances will

I saw an elderly woman perform in a lounge when I visited Spain. She had everything; the castanets, the shawl and the dress. It was great to watch. 10/10 :)

Flamenco is a great dance and tradition. The dance is very precisely, intensely and emotionally choreographed from the movement of the eyes to the twirling of the skirt. The sound of castanets is very much part of the dance and the tradition. Kudos to the Vela family for keeping this tradition alive.

As a young woman my aunt Amelia was a flamenco dancer and used castañuelas during her performances. Now she is 102 years old and when I visit her I bring along a pair of castañuelas and a Spanish hand fan and we watch flamenco KZreads while she sings and plays her castañuelas.

please dont let flamenco die. its beautiful, from the dance, to the dress and the castanetts. amazingl I wish i could dance like that and play the castanetts

A flamenco performance is mesmerising. I have been lucky enough to see a couple.

I can't wait to visit Spain one day and watch a flamenco performance 😍

I did it in malaga and I recommend. 10/10

El flamenco es una marca esencial y universal que representa el alma de España, no puede desaparecer. Las nuevas generaciones deben ser enseñadas a mantener ese amor por lo suyo. Muchas personas en Hispanoamérica nos sentimos muy identificados con el flamenco y la rumba, sentimos esa cadencia que nos atrevemos a contornear nuestro cuerpo siguiendo la musica,, algunos de nuestros bailes tradicionales tienen mucha influencia española, conservamos el zapateo y algunos ritmos y movimientos.

My Mom was a Phenomenal Flamenco Dancer with Castanets. I've never seen anyone better than my Mom.

I hope dancers keep using castanets because I love the sound.

Flamenco sounds and looks so good.

Q maravillaaaa,Amo el flamenco,gracias por mantener el arte verdadero y oleeee!!!!

It would be a terrible loss! I love Spanish music and Castanets. I hope that the gowns and Castanets never die out! Flamenco is amazing. I wish more men used them. There is a scene in a movie about Goya where a guy is dancing to Boccherini's Fandango. It's fantastic! Thanks for sharing this! I Definitely have to own a pair.

lo que dice esta bailaora es preocupante no se debe perder todo lo que acompaña la belleza de esta danza a mi me encanta mucho cuando bailan con la castañuela porque me gusta el sonido y la elegancia del baile

Beautiful Language, a beautiful hand crafted product, we all hope not a "lost" art Cum Laude to all artisans who built with pride and tradition.

Castanets is the kicky part of this art, spent many years in Jerez de la frontera and I never heard castanets. Castanets are used in other parts of Spain and the Americas for tourists who have a unreal idealized idea of what Flamenco music is, she might as well put a rose in her mouth.

Came here to say this, thank you! Some people have confused this video as suggesting flamenco is dying. Flamenco is alive and well and evolving which is what it does magnificently. People expect it not to change which is ridiculous. Rock music from the 50’s compared to today sounds incredibly different. Why should flamenco be different? Most castanets use is just for tourists anyway like you said. I’ve never seen or heard them used but then again I stayed away from touristy tablaos in Spain.

Sehr interessant anzuhören und schauen!!!Hatte vor Jahren ein klassisches Konzert mit Kastagnetten Live gehört und war sehr begeistert davon .Vom Flamenco sowieso,hatte lange Jahre mal Tanzunterricht!😊

Wow. There is a similar instrument called kartal used in Rajasthan.

Me encarta el Flamenco, es hermoso.

Thank you. Quite informative. Nov. 6. 23.

Ay que bieeeen Rocioooooo, Lebriiiiiiiiiiiii,ole a todossss

Fascinating, what an art and tremendous skill

I do want to own a pair of castanets.

Amazing

Very interesting.. and fascinating music...

What’s the name of the dancer? ❤️

Wow very interesting. The Last of the family of Castanet makers.

Wow

Who is the fabulous dancer?

Hallelujah! Praise God in his holy house of worship, praise him under the open skies; Praise him for his acts of power, praise him for his magnificent greatness; Praise with a blast on the trumpet, praise by strumming soft strings; Praise him with castanets and dance, praise him with banjo and flute; Praise him with cymbals and a big bass drum, praise him with fiddles and mandolin. Let every living, breathing creature praise God! Hallelujah! -Psalm 150 MSG

mi padre me enseno tocar las castanuelaz!!!

El trabajo que haces con las castañuelas Juan es fantástico y tan bueno como ese sonido tan especial que producen las castañuelas. Lo que tu ni nadie mencionan son las raíces de las castañuelas y cuando mencionan esas raíces son todas falsas ya que nadie sabe de que provienen de las chácaras que es un instrumento de canarias. Ve dos ejemplos de este magnifico instrumento de nuestro archipiélago; uno es de Juan Mesa en una estupenda demostración en Holanda y la otra en un baile ancestral canario que se llama el Baile del Tambor y era lo que hoy le llaman La Jota y lo fue hasta finales del siglo XVIII donde paso a llamarse con el nombre maño por lo cual lo conocemos hoy. kzread.info/dash/bejne/mop62M6pdNvNn5M.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/mqGhmc57eZbemdo.html En la Jota nadie mencionan tampoco que viene de este baile de los antiguos canarios. Tampoco nadie mencionan cuando hablan del flamenco que también Canarios fue su progenitor y que existió tan solo tres siglos y medio en toda Europa y las Américas. Ver un ejemplo de Canarios Barroco: kzread.info/dash/bejne/jKh426qrd8fWZqg.html Ver este otro ejemplo de Canarios en el Renacimiento Italiano y aquí vean como nacieron los bailes de zapateo ; Il Canario - Italian Renaissance Dance (Caroso 1580) Todos los historiadores de música pecan de las mismas mentiras cuando hablan de las raíces del Flamenco y casi mencionan a todo el mundo con excepción de Canarios pero sin dar un solo ejemplo decente y lógico que viene de los Griegos, Los Romanos, Los árabes, los judíos, etc. Estos historiadores robaron y siguen robando el gran Legado de Canarios y de nuestras islas

Tried some castanets on my trip to Spain. Could never make them sound right.

Pues yo si ejecutó castañuelas. Lo que daría por tener una colección para tocarlas todas. Lo que pasa es que las majas cada ves usan menos la peineta flamenca y en eso ni os fijáis.

dame un vestido con cola castanuelaz y que toquen flamenco es algo tan romantico y unosa zapatos de tacon me transformo ❤❤❤❤❤ jaaaaaa 😂😂😂

I can't believe that a man can make a living making only castanets. They're lovely but he has a fine woodworking shop. Why doesn't he diversify?

@pandaantonline390

Well, some people only eat ramen, and nothing else. Should they diversify? Probably... More so because it is a medical/mental disorder in some cases. Needless to say, he probably doesn't need to diversify until the need to arises. Personally I would get bored doing the same thing... But it's a matter of perspective and it's always appreciated to have the specialty in craftsmanship as some people do.

Panda Ant Online Well, if that's what one wants to eat that's different although I can't imagine that being very healthy. Diversification in the way I mean is generally just good business. I guess you have a point though. Doing one craft and doing it really well, well, there is something to be said for that but just castanets seems a little too narrow to me. Maybe he could specialize in only solid wooden percussion instruments for example. That would still be very specialized and still broaden his potential customer base substantially.

What a very odd question! Why doesn't he do what you would like him to do, rather than what he wants to do? Wow. Further, I suggest that you probably have no idea how much diversification there is in the making of castanets (I certainly don't). Why should Steinway make only pianos? Why should Maria Calas sing only opera? Why should Muddy Waters only sing the blues? Why shouldn't great guitar makers also make banjos? Like I say, I don't get your question at all. He may have all the customers he can handle. If he loves doing it, and people want to buy them, why should he do something different?!?
