[quote=Anonymous]Are you talking the kind of dinner and music/dance show previous posters have mentioned or something more along the lines of "new flamenco"/"nuevo flamenco"?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_flamenco

We went to a Neuvo Flamenco performance at a bar in Barcelona ages ago (2003, I believe) on the recommendation of a friend who was living there at the time. It was simply amazing. It was a bard style singer/guitarist who truly captivated the audience. I have minimal Spanish and didn't understand any of the lyrics, but based on the audience response, I got the impression the lyrics must've been super clever or involved word play or unexpected rhymes. Numerous times he'd pause before the final word of a phrase, then when he'd sing the word, everyone would laugh or burst out clapping.

(Somewhere in storage I probably have a CD, but I don't recall the performer's name.)

Note: "nuevo flamenco" is different from "nouveau flamenco," a subgenre which is apparently more of a new world thing. (See Ottmar Liebert.)[/quote]
