Omayra Amaya's legacy is one of a deep and proud gypsy flamenco tradition. The grandniece of arguably the greatest Flamenco dancer who ever lived, Carmen Amaya, Omayra accepts the responsibility of her heritage with the same passion and uncontrolled vagrancy of Gypsy spirit as those of her lineage. Her daily exposure to the cultural roots of flamenco, with all of its subtleties and fervency, cultivated her innate love for the art and supplied the foundation of her style and technique. Omayra is a faculty member of the Boston Conservatory, the Boston Ballet, Harvard University Dance Department and Walnut Hill Performing Arts School.

Hear Here!
Phillyflamenco's review of flamenco music

The latest installment of "Hear Here" comes courtesy of the enchanting Alfonso Cid and is an exploration of one of the most enigmatic figures in flamenco history, Manuel Torre.

Manuel Torre. The singer of the black sounds.

(Manuel Soto Loreto. Jerez de la Frontera (Cádiz), 1878-Sevilla, 1933)

 I'm going through a phase in which I can only listen to Manuel Torre.  Every time I listen to his recordings I find a new reason to go back to him, a new turn of his voice that I didn't notice before.  The lack of high fidelity in those recordings doesn't bother me at all because Manuel Torre was one of the most enigmatic figures of flamenco history and that is clear in those sounds from nearly a century ago.
