About Me

I am a humble artist who propbaly is one of the few who still practice traditional Flamenco. I have dedicated a lot of my time and years of my life and soul to this art form. It is for me, a way of life. It is also a way to express my inner most feeling and experiences. My accomplishments, my failures and now Love that I have lost. Through Flamenco I can express my happiness and my sorrow.I play a little guitar, Flamenco Cajon, Cante and Dance. I live in Dallas and am very familiar with the flamenco seen here as well as Fort Worth and Texas. I also like the opera, the ballet and middle eastern music and dance. I dance salsa. I like comedy clubs and hanging out with friends mostly I am at home playing guitar practicing and studying this enriching art.

My Interests

Flamenco, Flamenco OH! Did I forget to mention FLAMENCO? Foreign Films. my friends and family back home. Watching other flamenco artists be it live or recorded. Oh and eating out and fining a new restaraunt.

I'd like to meet:

Any and all flamenco blessed people as well as students of the art. I would also like to meet Antonio Canales (again), Sara Baras, Joaquin Cortes, Duquende, Vicente Amigo, Mario Maya, Jose Glavan (Since I already met his kids, Pastora and Israel) Estrella Morente, Jose Merce, Nina Pastori Wow Whata women! LOL. as well as other Flamenco Artists to discuss the changes in our art and how we can network to make it more open to the public. There are a lot of people out there who have yet to be exposed to this art form. I'd also like to meet other artists from the Texas area whether it be dancers, percussionists, cantante's or guitarists. I also will help you book small shows if your in the area. Anybody who loves flamenco and want to share what they have learned. Also interested in meeting area single women who knows how to treat a man like a man and not try to change me into your image of a man. Accept me for who and what my art have made me into. Acomplish that and I will treat you like a flower and adore you forever.Bulerias de Manuel
