I want to burn inside the rhythms of the flamenco,
flame in the dancersโ passion in the streets of old Cรณrdoba
I want to entertain rich masters for a piece of bread
inside the silent cries of those who are misunderstood
I want the desperation of the dancers dressed in red.

My goodness What intensity! Thank you, Gabriela.

Congrats on your success to date, Pushkin nomination is something for us all to strive for. Iโm looking forward to seeing more great work from you.
Thank you Adam.
