Let's Talk About Flamenco

Let's close the second quarter writing our second post: before March 1st, you have to publish an article about flamenco, one of the most important cultural and artistic expression originated in our region, and certainly the most important from a musical point of view.

Some examples of ideas that you may include in your post: history and basic characteristics of flamenco, its genres (palos), singers (cantaores/as), guitarists (tocaores/as), dancers (bailaores/as), reviews or comments on concerts, discs, videos, films, books about flamenco, its fusions with other genres, flamenco in the other arts (paintings, sculpture, poetry, etc.). Anyway, the topic is wide enough to allow each entry to be quite different from the others.

Please don't forget this: the goal we have to achieve is to create interesting, pleasant and enjoyable to read articles, and overall that these articles must be original: don't copy (of course) and don't "rewrite" something that already exists on the Internet. So, as we insist in the first quarter, no "résumé". Wikipedia and other websites from which you can extract insights are valuable sources for you because they help you to complete your knowledge about the topic. After reading this information, it will be in your head together with your previous knowledge and together with what we have talked about in class: the next step is to write a completely original article..

Work without hurry, to develop good articles, but without rest, because time passes quickly and it's not a good idea to wait until the last minute.
