GUITARRA FLAMENCO

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

I first hear Flamenco music in 1964 when the uncle and father of members of The Gypsy kings released their first record album in the US  titled: Manitas de Plata: Guitarra Flamenco.  It was recorded in a small room with a few invited guests, including the world famous artist Pablo Picasso.  His cousin, a carpet layer, Jose Reyes, who is the father of several of the members of The Gypsy Kings, was the vocalist.  When I heard the magnificent and authentic guitar playing on this record I was instantly electrified!  Memories of my past lives spent in Spain and France as a gypsy flooded back into my consciousness with overwhelming passion for this music and these beautifully crude, by free, peasants who were originally refugees from India and Egypt.  Here are two cuts from Manitas De Plata performing  Tarantas. This is the first US recordings ever made of Manitas De Plata — October 1963, in Arles, France, produced by Connoisseur Society (the recording engineer was David B. Jones). It was initially released as an LP (“Manitas de Plata aux Saintes Maries de la Mer“) on the Philips and Connoisseur Society labels.  To this day I have never heard a performance of authentic Flamenco guitar playing as flawlessly performed as those recorded on this record.

Here are TWO selections from that album:


In 2003 I attended a concert of the Gypsy Kings at The Greek Theater in L.A. as a birthday present to myself.  This is my favorite music group of all time!  They continue the proud heritage of the true gypsy spirit of freedom and passion and musical genius!  Here is the complete album of the Gypsy Kings Greatest Hits:

EARTH SEEN THROUGH THE EYES OF SATELLITES

This NASA video shows the Earth through the “eyes” of a combination of satellites that measure and record various parts of the electromagnetic spectrum and are above or below the visible spectrum of human eyesight. This enables us to see a much more complete image of of the interactive currents of weather and other atmospheric phenomenon. NASA claims the video (from 2006) is “evidence” that global warming is real and the aerosol pollution from Asia is responsible. Of course they don’t mention anything about the pollution from the US, or the influence of HAARP to artificially control weather patterns! The imagery is fascinating, with or without the “agenda” of corporations and governments who hope to profit from the spurious mythology of “global warming”.

HUMANS ARE NOT A SYMBIOTIC SPECIES

Obligate symbiosis is when two organisms are in a symbiotic relationship because they can’t survive without each other.  Facultative symbiosis is when the species live together by choice.  Human beings do not have ANY naturally occuring sybiotic relationship with ANY other life forms on Earth.  This fact is proof that human beings did not “evolve” on Earth.  Humans are an “alien” species.  For more details, study the definitions of symbiosis here:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbiosis

The video below demonstrates a NATURALLY OCCURRING symbiotic relationship between native species of life forms on Earth: ants and acacia trees. There are billions of such relationships between life forms that actually “evolved” on Earth, but none exist with humans.  In fact, humans do not provide a mutually beneficial service to ANY creatures on Earth, with the possible exception of intestinal bacteria common to all omnivorous mammals.

If the human species disappeared from Earth today no other life form would be harmed: they would flourish!
