I saw Carmen Amaya in New York at the Chateau Madrid somewhere around 1956 or '57. She was the most powerful "presence" I've ever seen on a stage; it was difficult to breath at times. I've always thought she must have been in her early 70's. What a shock to see she died at age 50. Edith Piaf, who was the second greatest performer I've ever seen, looked almost as old the second time I saw her, shortly before she died, and she was only 47. Truly great talent often exacts a great price.
During the Spanish civil war, from 1936 to 1939 the family of Carmen Amaya entertained us at dances that were held in New York, to raise funds for the Republic. I was 6 and 7 years old, and I was enthralled on the way she danced..I have never forgotten, they are great memories.
I agree. One of the qualities observed in her performances is that she is dancing for herself and the art of dance, not simply for the approval of the audience. Male Flamenco dancers gaze out to the audience with smug smiles on their faces, as if they are saying, "Look at me! Am I not wonderful?" They make me sick. True artists are not showoffs; Amaya's artistry is pure.
Primera vez que la veo y es lejos la mejor bailaora del mundo,ella inpiro a todos los otros grandes con su estilo magistral,maravillosa mujer en su estilo único..
Es maravilloso ver después de tantos años ver a la Gran BAILAORA CARMEN AMAYA. TODO EL FUEGO Y PASIÓN FLAMENCA DANZA MARAVILLOSA UNA GRANDE YO LA RECUERDO MUCHO SIEMPRE ME ENCATABA VER COMO BAILABA YO ERA MUY PEQUEÑITA Y LA RECUERDO MUCHO CON MUCHO CARIÑO GRACIAS ES UN REGALO HERMOSO ESTE VIDEO🙋❤❤❤❤❤🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👏👏👏👍👍👍😘
La vida de esta gran exponente del baile y su temple, es un ejemplo de vida para hombres y mujeres. Soy un admirador del folclor español. Sé perfectamente de donde viene nuestras tradiciones musicales en Sudamérica. Gracias España por nuestro origen; especialmente nuestras raíces musicales. Con cariño un cantor de cuecas chileno
Carmen Amaya is 100, let's celebrate her. I don't believe there is an equal master in Flamenco dance, not that I've encountered, but I will be back to Andalucia and will report back when or if I see that talent.
In Spain we call it "tener duende", a passion, a magic born from the depths of your gut. Very few people have it. Carmen Amaya did it. Check Camaron de la Isla for more "duende".
I just had a really bad day, and it's stupid to feel bad about it, I have a GIANT childhood trauma( dead dad, fcked up family, neurotic step-f, a Lil crazy mama) and today I had to do smth in physical education in my school, I messed up, I thought I'd be the best becuz I am quite athletic, but I did quite many embarrassing things, I acted all girly once and I didn't eat cuz I thought It'll make me vomit.....Ahhh HAD A REALLY REALLY BAD DAY man.. Just wanted to get it out somewhere, it's embarrassing to know you're not the best at smth u really hoped you'd be, All my life I've been looking for validations but I never got any..I'm 16 btw..I did good in Chem
Thank God for technology that we get to keep the artistry of these GIANT artists!! What a beautiful outcome of discipline, love and giftedness of an art form 😍😍😍🙏🏾
I had the privilege of meeting her, & dancing with her at the age of 10. She was dynamic, funny, & full of life. She was a friend of my dance teacher, Paco Lucena. Saw her perform live in Los Angeles, Ca. as the Million Dollar Theater.
Yes. I'd have dinner with her 2 or 3 times each winter when I moored my yacht off Pointe Focinane and played Chemin de Fer in the casino at Monte Carlo with my good friend Prince Ranier.
There are no words to explain her dancing, only emotions. Next year 2013 will mark the 100th year of her birth and 50th year of her death. I hope Barcelona the city of her birth and all of Spain will have homages to this great lady.
She was so unbelievably talented, strong, passionate, sexy and mesmerizing. Her moves were so fast that it's like they sped up the film - which I know they didn't. Just discovered her today and I'm so happy I did. I'm completely enthralled and obsessed with this beautiful goddess!
Just finished reading a book with a protagonist, based off her, and I can't really express my feelings with words. This woman, her technics, her dance, her spirit.... Everything. Outstanding, amazing and absolutely incredible. Just wow! ❤
This woman is awesome. her movements are fluid. It's not stiff as modern dancers. If I didn't know better, I would have thought she was tap dancing. Flamenco is such a beautiful and powerful dance.
The greatest flamenco dancer ever. Raw passion from every pore. There are many flamenco dancers which have been excellent but so far none to equal Carmen. She was special.
Ahhhhmazing Amaya! I saw her perform in Puerto Rico- but I was too young to appreciate her gifts and talents. So sad she died at an early age; but thankful she left such a great legacy. There will never be another like her.
once you see Carmen nobody else would satisfy I’ve read that she would have been one of the first women to dress and dance the male version of the dance
Simplemente ÚNICA, no hay ni habrá nunca otra igual, hay genios que vienen a este mundo con esa misión, de encantarnos en su propósito y solo viene uno, son irrepetibles !! 🙏💖👍
CARMEN AMAYA ....Como ella, ninguna en la manera de bailar, flamenco folklore, irreemplazable. El flamenco patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la Humanidad a iniciativa de las Comunidades autónomas de Andalucía, Extremadura y Murcia. Además es Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial Tecnológico Andaluz y está inscrito en el Inventario General de Bienes Muebles de la Región de Murcia establecido por la Dirección General de Bellas Artes y Bienes Culturales......
La diosa del baile, jamás fue superada, Carmen Amaya era el flamenco puro, el arte elevado a la más grande exprecion, el duende del flamenco estaba en ella, fue y lo será la más grande, bailadora, del flamenco,
My father introduced her music to me as she was before my time...wow, what brilliance they say there will never be anyone like her again...and the first woman to wear pants to dance flamenco possibly...she was definitely ahead of her time. I believe she has a statue in New York in dedication to her.
My dad use to drink and party with his friends in garage. They brought guitars and played Spanish music. Us daughters danced street flamenco to the music. It was very empowering though we didn't know proper flamenco, poor and no afford classes, just basics from the heart much soul. No one questioned it. After we would all eat homemade cheese enchiladas and pepsi. Good memories in hard times you make it good with what you have.
@@RoyalViking465 , many Mexicans are descendants of Spaniards who colonized the America's among other land's . Many of the colonizers brought their families from Spain and settled on land that was given to them by the Spanish crown directly . Flamenco is Gypsy and gypsies are from India who traveled in caravans throughout the entire world . Many never settled until recent years in many countries. The influence is of the dance is unique to each dance , but the instruments are the same . Castanets , shoes and hands . The lyrics are poems or a meaningful story the bring about the feeling of struggle , sorrow and triumphs . Enchiladas are different in every country , but unique to each region . Everyone claims the dish , but no one really knows where it came from. You should see a Guatemalan enchilada , lol. It looks like a tostada , but not a Mexican one. So , you see no one . Although everyone claims the name , the dish it illegitimate and belongs to none.
@@daniaa.oliva-pena7338 First of all, flamenco is the result of the mixture of four cultures: Christian, Sephardic, Arab and gypsy. The Gypsies arrived in Spain in the 15th century...so to pretend that flamenco is a dance of all the Gypsies in the world is nonsense. Gypsies are found all over Europe, but, the gypsy music of Hungary has nothing to do with Flamenco, for example. The same can be said of any other European gypsy dance. The conquerors did not bring flamenco to America, at that time, flamenco was in formation. Flamenco. Flamenco was formed in the 19th century. Whether or not the enchiladas are from Mexico, I don't really give a damn, but it definitely has NOTHING TO DO WITH FLAMENCO. What is a reality is that Mexicans believe that, in some way, everything belongs to them... directly or indirectly. Really overwhelming people!
@@MrMORTIS19 When Andalucia was under moorish rule, their music and musical instruments were modified by Christians and Jews, and later by gypsies becoming a hybrid music and seperate from the musical forms that created it.
I first read about Carmen in a book by the famous British ballerina Margot Fonteyn,"The Magic of Dance".Now I see why Dame Margot spoke so highly of her! Thank you,very much,for sharing this!
@@beforeourveryeyes no, Fred Astaire was a Big fan of Carmen MargaRita Cansino who started as flamenco dancer when she was a girl and became a georgeous Holliwood actress. He musted to work with her some scenes dancing and said about her that was the most gifted and disciplinated dancer tha he ever meet : Rita Hayworth !!!
Amazing dancing, fast feet, speedy spins and sudden stops, beautiful port de bras with finger snaps, hand claps and castanets, terrific control and flow of motion and movement, great.
I love all types of dancing, and the technical moves of ballet and modern dancing are jaw dropping, BUT this woman, Carmen Amaya, moves me like no other!! She is magnificent! She inspires me to dance, as I do, with all of my heart, all of my emotions, all of my power free-flowing throught it, forget any and all around me! I am always moved whenever I watch her. The very first time I saw her over the RUclips, she moved me to tears. No other dancer of any form has captured me in such a way.
Nos hierve la sangre porque España es la Madre Patria y llevamos en nuestras venas sangre Española, yo naci en Chicago Illinois de Madre Mexicana y Padre Puertorriqueño!
hola Cristina gracias por el cumplido a mi Mexico que llevo en el alma , siendo que ya tengo la ciudadania americana, Espana, siempre, escuche de pequeno que en la ciudad de Mexico mucha gente la nombraba la Madre Patria, y no sabia que decir, mas algunas veces miraba a mis hermanos mas claros de piel, y a otros no, y me preguntaba porque esto, y luego mi madre nos inculcaba el amor a Dios, y seguia preguntandome porque, pero mi apellido es espanol, y fue cuando lei la historia de la llegada de los espanoles a mexico y entendi muchos porques , la conquista fue brutal, e inhumana, pero tengo una bisabuela espanola , del lado paterno,y dime tu ?si no es duro entender lo que es ser mexicano, me recuerdo mirando a mi hermano mayor, con su perfil griego y su tez morena, y mi andar por las calles mirando rostros de muchos tipos, ya sea mas indigena como mi otra cultura, u otros blancos como cualquier habitante espanol, sabias que en california u.s.a. a los mexicanos ya nos catalogan blancos con el nombre de grupo racial latino interesante verdad ?quizas te preguntes por que me atrevi a platicarte todo esto, quizas por que > asi como tu admiras Mexico, asi yo admiro Espana la madre patria a golpes y a puro dolor pero la madre Patria, y mira que en este pais donde vivo ahora, aprendi a defender todo lo que se funde entre lo mexicano y lo espanol, por ejemplo el idioma, la religion,que sigo profesando el catolicismo, muchisimas costumbres sociales, que a lo anglosajones se les hacen dificiles de entenderlas, a proposito la mejor bailarina de flamenco, y viva Espana , la madre Patria.
I saw a common Amaya at the Village Gate in New York City down in the village in 1960 I was just amazed at emotional strength and her ability to translate into dancing what she was feeling.
Carmen Amaya and Jose Greco are by far the best flamenco dancers of all time. No one comes close. Just watching them is a master class. What a great find! Thanks❣️
Qué leyenda! Qué talento! Y qué emoción produce la guitarra flamenca aunque yo no sea española. Gracias España por la cultura compartida y que viva el flamenco.
Amazing. What a legendary talent. The passion. Bravo 👏 👏 👏 is it me or the dancers from the 50, 60, and 70's dance differently than flamenco dancers after 2000? I mean their passion their firm steps are so different than today. The way she plays those castanets is stupendous. The speed, wow. And her feet, I am in awe. ❤🌹
"In 1952 she married guitarist Juan Antonio Agüero, a member of her troupe. A man belonging to a distinguished family from Santander, who was not a gypsy. They lived an authentic love story and celebrated an intimate wedding." (from wikipedia)
@@donnawoodford6641 "Never heard of Sabicas." If you like flamenco guitar, then please do youtube searches on "Sabicas". Everyone I know who seriously played flamenco guitar considers Sabicas unsurpassed, including Paco de Lucia. Sabicas produced about 30 LPs, some solo, some with other top flamenco artists. In the period from about 1940 to 1970 he essentially defined flamenco guitar.
I saw Carmen Amaya in New York at the Chateau Madrid somewhere around 1956 or '57. She was the most powerful "presence" I've ever seen on a stage; it was difficult to breath at times. I've always thought she must have been in her early 70's. What a shock to see she died at age 50.

She's better than any man ever. She's so crisp.

Greatest of all time.
Stunning! I'm thrilled to have this turn up on my recommended list! 💖 She died at age 50, so young...
There is nothing I like better than Flamenco in all it’s levels and presentations!
¡¡¡Espectacular!!!...¡¡¡Magnifica!!

She is , was and forever will be the personification of passion . Viva Carmen Amaya . Viva flamenco .

Currently reading it, and was currious to learn who was the real dancer behind Lucia's fiction character 🔥
This woman is awesome. her movements are fluid. It's not stiff as modern dancers. If I didn't know better, I would have thought she was tap dancing. Flamenco is such a beautiful and powerful dance.
And tap dancing comes from the enslaved Africans that’s why it’s so powerful. There was influence from the Afro- Spaniards that lived in Andalucía :)
All in those ridiculous high-heels. I can't fathom it.
Still the most insanely brilliant flamenco dancer ever
There is so much to respect and admire her for as a dancer, her energy, her movement, the crispness matching the music etc. Dang she could dance!
I see why she is legendary.
The greatest flamenco dancer ever. Raw passion from every pore. There are many flamenco dancers which have been excellent but so far none to equal Carmen. She was special.

Ahhhhmazing Amaya! I saw her perform in Puerto Rico- but I was too young to appreciate her gifts and talents. So sad she died at an early age; but thankful she left such a great legacy. There will never be another like her.
This sounds like the family who lives upstairs...
Mine make all the noise but have no rythm 😕
Kkkkkkkkkkkkk. In my case, both sides. But louder.
🤣🤣🤣
Ha ha ha ha!!!
Lol
She ate & left NO crumbs! I'm mesmerized watching her dance 😍
Not only her poor knees..
her poor feet in them heels..
BUT she still kills it better than the men - ALL WITHOUT TRIPPING UP IN THAT DRESS!! 💃🏻
Carmen had such a great talent. I learned about her today. I'm in love with her dancing. Long live Spain and its artists.
My god... I haven't been watching Flamenco for very long, but I have the feeling I won't find anyone better... Carmen is just incredible!
Indeed.
You got that right!
...¡¡ sigues siendo grande Carmen !!.

She is her own league! We are all so fortunate that video film was around to capture her.. 🙏🏼 Absolutely Amazing!!❤️
The last dance blew my mind. As she twirls her hair unravels and she becomes a tornado she's beautiful, lengendary

Qué leyenda! Qué talento! Y qué emoción produce la guitarra flamenca aunque yo no sea española. Gracias España por la cultura compartida y que viva el flamenco.
Amazing. What a legendary talent. The passion. Bravo 👏 👏 👏 is it me or the dancers from the 50, 60, and 70's dance differently than flamenco dancers after 2000? I mean their passion their firm steps are so different than today. The way she plays those castanets is stupendous. The speed, wow. And her feet, I am in awe. ❤🌹
Gran artista! Simply breath-taking.
Amo el flamenco!!!
It’s hard to believe Ms Amaya was born pre-WWI and the Depression.
In the last dance, the guitarist to the right (her left) is Sabicas, the greatest Flamenco guitarist in history, who was in love with Carmen.
"In 1952 she married guitarist Juan Antonio Agüero, a member of her troupe. A man belonging to a distinguished family from Santander, who was not a gypsy. They lived an authentic love story and celebrated an intimate wedding." (from wikipedia)
Stanley Okimoto I saw Sabicas live way back when I lived in Miami at the Dade County Auditorium
Never heard of Sabicas. They musicians all leave the stage in a hurry, so I'm assuming the recording is sped up.
I imagine a lot of people were in love with her.
@@donnawoodford6641 "Never heard of Sabicas." If you like flamenco guitar, then please do youtube searches on "Sabicas". Everyone I know who seriously played flamenco guitar considers Sabicas unsurpassed, including Paco de Lucia. Sabicas produced about 30 LPs, some solo, some with other top flamenco artists. In the period from about 1940 to 1970 he essentially defined flamenco guitar.
A small package of dynamite. A genuine original like Sabicas!!
Maravillosa y única,
De verdad que esta mujer fue la diosa del baile flamenco. Dios la tenga em su santo reino!
