Just because they like you. My point is this. Mystery is not real. Learning flamenco, like many other things in life, depends mainly on interactions between people. Race or cultural inheritance has nothing to do with it.
Mystery is a fabrication of the personalities that believe in it.
It equates very simply to an inability to consolidate the variety of opinions inherent in the art form. I know that it's very easy to get confused when confronted with the many inconsistencies in flamenco. But I feel happy because at least I've made an attempt to consolidate it in my own mind. The proccess of researching the subject has been a therapeutic process. It has enabled me to lay the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle on the table and examine them.
