Host: During the golden age of flamenco between 1869 and 1910, flamenco developed rapidly in music café, called Café Cantante where the public could eat treat and watch the performances. We are going to talk with Jose-luis Perez, a professional flamenco singer. His originally from Spain, but live in Montréal, Canada, he is also a dancer. Yes the man an also dance. But today we want to know more about the singing or as the Spanish say, Elegante.
Speaker: Flamenco has it's own rhythm, it's very hard to, when you sing, it's got to be always within that same rhythm, you can't sing it lyrically, it's got to be always in that contrast, that's why we would do palmas and everything. You would also need to give it the character that it has that's the hardest thing. You can heel, what you think of heel, that's when you hear it, it looks like it's hurting, looks like it--you know what I mean you just sing it, you make a lot of people say boy is he hurting, because it goes--so that's what hard to do off things.
Host: So we saw you dancing, you are singer and a dancer, which one do you like the best?
Speaker: dancing makes me another thing which is the physical aspect the exhaustion, the letting out everything you have and that intensity and then again you are limited and the places you can do it, you know. Good thing about being a singer is you can sing everywhere, you can practice in your car, you can practice in the street and that's very good too, and a lot of times I felt really either side, or different kinds of--and singing has got me out of that.
