[ Taking the thread in a slightly different direction] Speaking as a former jazz musician myself, I've been sorely disappointed with the generally poor quality of live ( non-flamenco) music in Madrid. In Kansas City (and many other cities) the musicians don't make any money doing it , but you can find loads of great live music any day of the week. I'd like to see whomever's in charge of the Spanish culture/arts ministry (or whatever they call it) make an investment in these genres as I think it would do a lot to improve Spain's cultural perspectives on European and world-wide levels and maybe, just maybe kill the foul beast that is ' bacalao'-style dance music. :lo: Sorry guys! I'll get back to work now. Just wanted to share my two cents on this 'relative' sub-topic.  poseso.... Tony --- English Unlimited... Un ambiente para aprender ingl�s...

Bacalao music is an annoyingly repetitive and musically insulting style of club, dance music that has been popular in the past with teens and 20-something Spaniards. It involves an often industrial sounding, repetitive ' chu-ta, chu-ta, chu-ta, chu-ta' type of sound that's normally annoyingly quick tempoed and played on car stereo systems in the same annoying manner that rap music can be heard coming from a souped up 64 Chevy Impala back where I come from... I'm normally pretty tolerant and open-minded musically, but I take exception with this style of music as it insults the years of music theory & solf�ge that I studied so religiously in high school and college. poseso....

Tony, sounds like you and I grew up on the same side of the tracks! quote: chu-ta, chu-ta, chu-ta, chu-ta' type of sound that's normally annoyingly quick tempoed and played on car stereo systems in the same annoying manner that rap music can be heard coming from a souped up 64 Chevy Impala back where I come from...
