Hey everybody!

Doing a video for a Canadian production company and the last thing I need are shots of flamenco.

Down south, everyone wanted money in order to be able to film them. Does anyone know of a place in Madrid where I can film a flamenco player for free?

Thanks in advance,

Phil

hey Phil.

you should contact the major flamenco places here...

- casa patas.
- las carboneras.
- cafe de chinitas.
- etc...

if you shoot in their cafes they will surely want a credit in the film and some may want money too but it is worth a shot.

there is also a flamenco school above casa patas so you should ask there as well.

in addition, contact "flamenco world" ( www.flamenco-world.com ) and last i looked there was a store on calle de las huertas number 62 (a bit more than half way down on the right hand side), see http://www.flamenco-world.com/noticias/etiendanuev03122004.htm .

the above should give you a good start.

saludos and let us know how it goes.

saludos,

hey Phil.

not sure if you are in the city right now but there is free flamenco in the plaza mayor right now!!!

i am watching it from my balcony and just sent you an sms about it as i thought it would be a PERFECT opportunity for you to shoot.

got the whole shabang goin on, canto hondo, guitar, caja and dancing!!!

there has been various types of music for the past hour or so, from hindi dancing and music to flamenco that is going on right now.

not sure if it is just a one shot deal tonight or if they will be doing it tomorrow too.

hope that helps.

saludos,
jer...
