TLDR version: This group is AMAZINGLY GOOD - seek them out and go! It is an experience that will move you. Full version: My wife and I attended Bandaluzia's performance last night - we have seen Flamenco before but are relative novices. I lucky managed to book ni the very first row - as I wanted us to be able to see the fine nuances of this amazing craft. It exceeded our every expectation! On the ride home (which was lengthy as we live some distance from the event) we both spoke in rapture at how good it was. My wife literally calling it 'Beyond Awesome...one of the very best experiences of my entire life." It's that good. And while the ladies, understandably are the stars - the group only works as each of them shines ever so bright. Their synergy & genuine affection for each other shines through - it's the embiment of joy & so much that is just good. We agreed that if they had been performing again today, we'd go again - as there is so much to take in - the fleeting looks that change, a curl of a wrist, a glance between the musicians etc - and on top of that if you just want something wonderful, look no further. I will probably post this on any other videos I can find about them as I feel if this terrific video has only been viewed a few thousand times - they're criminally underrated - and I can only say THIS video, as great as it is doesn't come even vaguely close to conveying the visceral experience that is seeing them in person - it's tremendous and I urge others to seek them out and sit as close to the performers as you can. :-) Nick
