Domingo Ortega - Ay! Flamenco Dance Series

[vidaflamenca]

Yes, Domingo still performs here in the States from time-to-time. It has been really difficult getting artists in to the U.S. Homeland Security is very tight. I'll post when Domingo comes back! -- He's so awesome, and a wonderful artist to work with as well!!!

I would love to see him perform. Is he still doing shows?

He is really is the most natural male Flamenco dancer of any of them. there are so many seriously good ones, but domingo is my favorite. It as if he was born dancing and he has always known how to dance. I love his style and Duende, so very beautiful.

Believe it or not I compare him to one of the greatest Rock guitarists, Stevie Ray Vaughan. He talks with his moves and gestures and steps, much like the great Stevie Ray Vaughan did with his guitar. they are both in a class by themselves.

que decir de ti si te conozco como si te ubiera pario sin se tu mare. Buen titi soy tu sobrino Jorge y ese derroxe de potencia me desasosiega, me deja con la boca abierta pocos pueden llegar a eso y me siento privilegiados de ser persona q sepa apresiar eso. Arte de jerez de los puros, de los q no estan, arte q nadie quiere, pero perdura tras los años, ese duende esta en ti sacalo para disfrutarlo y para ser mejor.

It's worth waiting (or pushing...) 3' for Ortega's dancing. Here we can see his very technical and sensual performance, 100% virile.

He deserved better resolution image. At least we can see him.

Of course, NOTHING is compared to seeing him dancing alive. He shines like the sun!

I love flamenco guitar but despite there is not any in this video, I must admit that this is true flamenco : a sort of religious ceremony coming from earth, that is not made to softly enjoy the ears or make us jiggle in rythm while washing up, neither amuse oneself in a nightspot, but experience that true beauty is not necessarily harmonious or attractive or appealing.

BRAVO!

Glad I checked my subscriptions tonight. Thank you so much for this.

Is the solo work improvised or set, or a combination? I should do some reading.

[flamencoprofundo]

So far as I can see Domingo is doing a combination of improvisation and choreografied stepcombinations. And although he is dancing in the style called alegría most of he things he does is "por bulerías" which is typical for people from Jerez de la Frontera, since La Bulería is there favorit style
