Flamenco! - Gitane Chants in the Church
Gorbio's famous Flamenco festival started two nights ago. Before the paella, before the fabulous dancing, we listened to exquisite religious gitane chants in the church, which was packed with an appreciative audience. Those present included the celebrated singer, Luis de Almeria, along with Diego and Frasquita Contreras with Manuel Gomes on guitar.
The short video below was part of TF1 Journal last night on television - see and hear the chants in the church and watch the dancing. Just over two minutes ...

I really love that opening shot! I like all of the photos, but especially the black and whites. You capture a lot of emotion in the faces.
