Gypsy flamenco, alive and kicking
Known as Los Hermanos Pañeros, Perico el Pañero and his brother José el Pañero are part of a generation of flamenco singers and dancers who are keeping traditional Gypsy music and dance alive.
Channeling the Ancestors this weekend is the kind of event that thrills aficionados of the cante jondo tradition.
Born in Andalusia, the Pañero brothers evince a spontaneous, deeply felt brand of flamenco.
