Fandango

[MojacarFlamenco]

Thank you so much for your kind words. We love it too

[blackroseblade]

How beautiful! I love it. <3

[MrViola94]

Makes me really happy we have such a good Flamenco scene in Albuquerque. :)

[MojacarFlamenco]

@MrViola94 Explain.

[MrViola94]

@MojacarFlamenco Albuquerque's got deep Spanish roots (New Spain's New Mexico. Go figure) So we have a lot of Spanish culture in our lives (As well as Mexican but that's a given). Anyway we have the only repertory Flamenco company in the U.S., the National Institute for Flamenco, and every summer, the Hestival Flamenco Internacional de Albuquerque. We have world class dancers and tocaors which is great for a mostly Spanish Acosta like me. Gott alove Flamenco =)

[WolfySnackrib666]

Fandango is such a badass word. I'm gonna name vicious demon character in my story FanDango!

[Rodes27]

so beautiful! I would love to see this live. And the music....Heavenly. thanks for sharing.

[MojacarFlamenco]

@Rodes27

Thank you so much for your kind words. We're glad you enjoyed the piece.

Cheers,

Please note:

I would like to correct those that believe Fandango is only from Portugal or Venezuela.

Fandango/s are the term/name used for many songs and dances throughout the Spanish speaking world, including Spain and Mexico, and many other countries.

Fandangos in Spain include: Fandangos de Huelva, which is a regional dance from the Huelva area in Andalucía. We based our Fandangos on the Fandangos de Huelva, often performed aflamencada. I wanted to clear up misconceptions.

[vorveiro]

fandango do bom tcheeee

[Bearishcub78]

Me alegro de que algunas personas están ganando terreno de manera correcta, esto es flamenco no, Fandango. Son dos estilos muy diferentes de bailes de dos países muy diferentes. Soy portugués y Fandango se hace en muchas de nuestras fiestas y reuniones. Es una danza hermosa, pero no lo que yo estaba buscando. Para los que pidió, Fandango es una danza de Portugal. my Spanish is bad, excuse it please.

[Bearishcub78]

I'm glad some people are catching this correctly, this is Flamenco, not Fandango. They are two very different styles of dances from two very different countries. I'm Portuguese and Fandango is done at many of our festivals and gatherings. This is a beautiful dance, but not what I was looking for. For those that asked, Fandango is a dance from Portugal.

[MojacarFlamenco]

This is a Fandangos de Huelva from Spain (Huelva being in Andalucía). There are many versions of this dance - in Spain often performed with castanets (more folkloric/regional) or performed as a flamenco dance, with the same dance structure as the regional style. FYI, there are also many other versions of Fandangos, both in Spain, in Mexico, and other Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries. Just wanted to let you know :)

[MojacarFlamenco]

@Bearishcub78

This is FANDANGOS de HUELVA de España - As I mentioned, it can be performed "aflamencada" or as a regional Spanish dance from Andalucía/southern Spain with castanets.

Our dance here is based on a traditional flamenco Fandangos de Huelva structure, and has nothing to do with any dance from Portugal, though I'd venture to guess there may be some connection, since Huelva is so close to the Portuguese border.

[tosba1983]

el fandango es una variedad del flamenco... el flamenco consta de muchos palos diferentes,uno de ellos el el fandango,bulerias,alegrias...e­tc.

[dreamtoyou3]

nao e um fandango ! E um flamenco ...

[MojacarFlamenco]

@dreamtoyou3 ;

O Flamenco inclui dúzias dos tipos de fandango. Este é apenas um.

[istraight1]

If i go to Madrid would be able to find something like this hopefully this summer

[MojacarFlamenco]

@istraight1

If you do go, go to the club Casa Patas where you'll see some great flamenco.

Cheers

Mojacar

[MojacarFlamenco]

It is Fandangos de Huelva, a regional Spanish dance often performed in the flamenco style.

[Mamau15]

cual es la diferencia entre fandango y flamenco ?

[MojacarFlamenco]

Fandangos are regional dances and songs from Spain. This version, a Fandangos de Huelva, is often perform aflamencada - in the flamenco style :)

[Mamau15]

ok thnx

[latinyas82]

hola, me puedes explicar cual es el origen del Fandango?? que significa?

[Nibelungenfrau]

soooo beautiful....!!!! thanks for this wonderful interpretation. I am also in heaven.

[TheUnemployedsamurai]

GREAT SHOW,, AND THE GUITAR SOUNDS ALRIGHT, THE SOUND SYSTEM NEED LESS VOLUME,, ACOUSTIC, MORE TO BRING THE AUDIENCE INSIDE OF YOUR PERFORMANCE.. bUT REALLY IT WAS SPECTACULAR

[ashlon0929]

can someone tell me the name of this music

[MojacarFlamenco]

@ashlon0929

Hi, Stephen (the guitarist in the video here.) The music is an original composition pf mine, essentially a Fandango. You can find it under the name La Primavera on iTunes. The Cd is is Mojacar at the Madrid, the ensemble is Mojacar Flamenco. Cheers,

S

[ashlon0929]

@MojacarFlamenco very beautiful music! good job man~

[pacdude9]

Beautiful, but something seems off... Maybe the camera was in the wrong spot and was picking up the echos at weird times or something? I can see their feet moving correctly with the beet but hear it offbeat, maybe the speakers from the band were close to the camera's microphone, while the sound from the feet had to travel. Impressive dancing though.

[MojacarFlamenco]

@pacdude9

YouTube sometimes works like the subtitles on '50's Japanese monster movies, audio and video out of sync.We haven't had this problem with this piece, so no worries.

[Annettha]

Aquí no hay arte, ni duende ni na de na... un fandango se baila con más arte, parece que esten bailando rumba, a mi gusto fatal!!

[losdosabuelos]

Olé from Mojácar Andalucia!

[MojacarFlamenco]

@losdosabuelos

Hola y Olé desde California!

[MojacarFlamenco]

¡Muchisimas gracias!

[tdartista48]

I really enjoyed watching this vdeo, the music, the dancing, just beautiful.

[MojacarFlamenco]

@tdartista48 Thank you for your kind remarks. It's certainly one of our favorite pieces.

[saez71]

Las manos parecen mariposas. Que maravilla!

[rafaelmarci]

Bonito baile y mu guena musica! Buen trabajo. Sobre el tema abajo, ke me llamó la atención, aki en el sur de Brasil también hay bailes llamados fandangos. Y si no me equivoco nos españoles han estado muuuucho tiempo por Filipinas también, será esta la razon...

[MojacarFlamenco]

Gracias.

Me parece que hay en música palabres que cruzen las fronteras. Par ejemplos,Fandango, Tango, tambour, et cetera, y cada pais tiene su versión.

[MojacarFlamenco]

That's an excellent question and one that doesn't have a simple answer. A form known as "fandango" emerged in Spain in the 18th Century, but it doens't bear much relationship to the contemporary fandango dance except for certain key features such as the use of the andalusian candence and a refrain section. There are also slow, un-danceable fandango songs, fandangos grandes, that don't sound anything like the dances or the 18th century version. What's the Pandango like?

[jckrypton]

here in the philippines we have a dance called pandango sa ilaw. what does Fangdango or Pandango mean????

[eddy601000]

very nice, i enjoyed both the dance and the music well done

[gypsydancer64]

this is really nicely done! the whole thing, music, dance, and set, awesome! I enjoyed this thanks you.

[MojacarFlamenco]

Thank you very much. We like it too.

[coriostone5]

Now that was really great.

Both the dance And music.

[mordicia6]

El guitarrista deberia venirse una temporadita a Jerez....

[MojacarFlamenco]

He estado in Jerez aprendiendo del maestro El Carbonero y me encanta los ritmos de esa ciudad, pero en esta piece quise tocar un fandango con un ritmo más americano.

[antonio90ism]

Beautiful

[macromovement]

Hi there. I am a Kathak dancer . Loved this piece. There's something that sets it apart....

[MojacarFlamenco]

[AAAAA010AAAAA]

[MojacarFlamenco]

Thanks, so much. We're glad you like it.

[AAAAA010AAAAA]

i really love this. thank you so much.

[cRiis006]

oleeee esaa bailaoraaa!! ke arte tienes ijaa!!

[byegooo]

i mean fandango, sorry!

[MojacarFlamenco]

No. Like many folk dances, Fandangos de Huelva, the form underlying this piece, can be danced by one or a hundred. Go get 99 of your friends together and try it!

[byegooo]

Is fantango supposed to have a man dancing with a woman?

[LambdaDrS]

lol, look at how the girls tap at 4:17; amazing how simplicity can be gorgeous

[RoryLavelleRules]

added to favorites.

[rhythmschild]

This is so amazing! I wish I could dance like this. Is it considered disrespectful to your culture for others to try?

[MojacarFlamenco]

Would you feel disrespected if someone wanted to dance like you? We are American artists who love and respect flamenco and we've never experienced anything but positive reactions from Spanish artists for our work. In fact, We're pround to have received eight awards from the Spanish Minsitry of Culture to promote Spanish culture in the U.S., one of which helped to pay for this particular production. So go, find a good flamenco teacher and dive into this beautiful art form.

[vierzon1968]

magnifique!

[MojacarFlamenco]

merci bien!

[gigagamer16]

is it just me or does this look like a slower version of the flamenco?

[teddysn]

The fandango is part of Flamenco music.

U can't say there is ''a'' flamenco for it's not so defined.

It's like pop music. U wouldn't say a ballad is a slower version of the pop right ? It's just a style within Pop. The same here.

[etthewrapman]

You are right, the Fandango is a sub-genre of the Flamenco dance genre, but gigagamer16 is not wrong either. while there is a Flamenco Genre, the Flamenco Dance also exists and is native to Andalusia. So while the Fandango strictly falls under the Flamenco genre, there are a lot of Andalusians that would very upset if you said that their dance (the flamenco) was actually not a dance of it's own.

[teddysn]

Oh, I certainly don't. I come from Madrid and have done some Flamenco dancing :P

I just ment the music :p

[MojacarFlamenco]

The fandangos de Huelva is a regional dance, but also considered part of flamenco, and included in flamenco concert and smaller shows.

In flamenco, many songs/dances are slower - i.e., the cante jondo/baile jondo dances

[Brazzle]

FANDANGO! Without this dance the world wouldn't be the same.

[1400deadwood]

@Brazzle ~ beautiful statement. :)

[XMistressxOfxDeathX]

Very cool! =3
