A word caught my eye - Flamenco. My eyes widen, Eva Yerbabuena??? Did I not just read of the name somewhere? OMG was that a coincidence or what?!? <br /><br />And this evening I watched, completely mesmerized, the raw passion, power and mastery of Eva Yerbabuena's performance. <br /><br />"outpouring of savagery and wildness" so aptly desscribed the performance. <br /><br />And complementing Eva's performance; completing it really, were the raw passion of the voices of the singers. <br /><br />Lorenzo, thank you, for the post, for introducing Eva Yerbabuena.<br /><br />RebeccaRebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02328928361818690097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308428467776400130.post-83901973885309783222010-10-02T18:05:13.680+02:002010-10-02T18:05:13.680+02:00Hello Lorenzo

She is a goddess on the dance floor, just as Willow promised, and you Lorenzo, you lucky man, are her escort. Proud as a peacock, I'm sure. <br /><br />Flamenco is my mother's favorite form of dance to watch. She had a deep desire to enroll my daughter in flamenco classes as soon as she was able to walk, but alas, my daughter only wanted to dance ballet. Ballet suited her well and I adore watching her dance. <br /><br />I look forward to seeing you and Eva at the ball!<br /><br />I could have sworn that I had already clicked on your "Follow" widget thingee, but it turns out I had not -- until now.Dutchbabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00844296297519447526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308428467776400130.post-24495953489386862402010-09-28T06:45:17.844+02:002010-09-28T06:45:17.844+02:00It is easy to see what you drew you to her.

I can see how you could sit for hours mesmerized by it all. There is much to learn if we are willing to sit at the feet of the talented and daring ... and I don't believe for a moment that alone in a room, with a wooden floor, and a pulsing flamenco guitar, that after such an initiation, your feet would not move to the beat and your hands weave intricate words.Bonnie Zieman, M.Ed.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00282469017360136275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308428467776400130.post-15856203480018130402010-09-27T21:14:50.980+02:002010-09-27T21:14:50.980+02:00Hi, Lorenzo.

The flamenco dancer is so beautiful. I look forward to seeing what you have, too. <br /><br />P.S. - Before I even clicked your link, I knew I was going to tell you that I'm sorry for being so slow.
