La Noche De Rock

Went trick or treating with Missy this evening. Scared the life out of Patches. It was all happening in the pueblo tonight. Paco took over as the new hombre in Bar Olivo, it was rock n' rolling in there. Don D. & DeathMetalMunchkin went to see "La Noche De Rock" they weren't impressed. I'm still trying to work out why anyone would go and watch rocks at night. "Yada Yada Yada"
Factoid: Andalusia is a region in Spain that is best-known for flamenco, a form of music and dance that is mostly performed by Gypsy people and popular throughout the world. Muslim influence seems common, and more inherent than in the rest of Spain. Improvised flamenco songs of ancient Andalusian origin are called cante hondo, and are characterised by a reduced tonal ambiance, a lack of rhythm, baroque ornamentation and repetition of notes. Cante hondo is sung by a single singer (Cantaor). There are two forms of flamenco songs: cante jondo and cante chico. Cante jondo are slower and usually feature sad lyrics about disappointed love or death, while cante chico are much quicker, more popular and dance-oriented. The concept of duende is very important in flamenco. Loosely, defined, duende is a spiritual or emotional bond between the performer and audience, created by the performer's intense concentration and passion.
