The most temperamental, tragic and passionate figure in flamenco
dancing was also capable of expressing the captivating emotion of the gypsy race as a cantaora (flamenco singer). Her recordings that are gathered in this double CD survive as a sample of her singing. The first CD contains recordings that were made in New York in 1941, whereas the second features recordings from 1955 and 1956, which were also made in new York.
The purity and perfection of her dancing are found in the DVD that traces her career trajectory, through photographs and scenes from the films María de la O and La Hija de Juan Simón, both of which were shot in the 1930s. It also includes two shorts in which Carmen Amaya starred in the 1940s. (It is a multi-system DVD that is suitable for use in any country and is compatible with PAL and NTSC systems.)
All this information is completed by the book "El mar me enseñó a
bailar" (The sea taught me how to dance), a biography of Carmen Amaya written by Jordi Pujol and Carlos García de Olalla Maristany. Moreover, it contains a large number of illustrations. The book is written in Spanish, English and French.

SHE WAS A GREAT ARTIST BUT ALSO MODEST AND BIG HEARTED
Carmen Amaya was kind enough to audition me when I was no more than 12 years old. She sat in the stalls eating a big sausage sandwich in her white towelling robe with her famous impresario next to her. A tiny little nut brown person full of crackle and personality.
I nervbously performed my soleares. In her amercan/spanish accent she told me I was a 'great baby' and I should give up school (what use is school to a dancer she said?!) and train with her to join her company when she returned to Spain. My mother wasn't too keen. She signed the above cover photograph for me. What a treasure! My mother lost it on moving house and I was heartbroken. To be able to see her again in Los Tarantos was a wonderful and moving experience for me.

Discovering Carmen
I just "discovered" Carmen Amaya, in a couple of breathtaking old film clips, and I am still entranced and astounded by her perfection. I am trying to get hold of everything of hers that I can. I am buying La reina del embrujo gitano and am wondering what else is available. Are the old films she played in available on DVD, and does she have much of a role in them? I also bought Los Tarantos (before I knew who Carmen Amaya was) but am wondering if there is a version with English subtitles.

かっこいい！
DVDの映像も音声もかなり古いものなので、当然ながらヒドイです。
でも、パンツスタイルで踊るマニッシュなカルメンやマーメイドラインの衣装で踊るセクシーなカルメンなど、色んな姿が見ることが出来ます。
CDは２枚あり、充分満喫することが出来ます！それぞれのカンテも、イマジネーションをかき立てられるようなカンテで、すばらしいです。
充分に買う価値があるものと思います。
