A bit later than planned, but here it is – a little tribute of sorts to the lovely Paz Vega from the films featured here so far. This is my second tribute to the Andalusian goddess, but I thoroughly enjoyed making it all the same. The soundtrack is from my favourite Flamenco album featuring a virtuoso by Johannes Linstead – I hope you guys enjoy this tribute as much as the music.

Hi ThirstRabbit,
The Music is awesome and so is the compilation. Thanks for this post.
Hi,
And by the way, can you please provide a link to the Music Album???
Thanks
The album is called “Bolero Gypsies – New Flamenco Vol. 2″. I picked it up at a music store years ago, and not sure if there are any Internet links out there. But I know Amazon sells it.
thank you.
Paz Vega a great and fantastic woman.
This is my second tribute to the Andalusian goddess
Where’s the first, please?
The first one was made nearly 4 years ago – a bit rudimentary by today’s standards. If you’re really hungry to see it, here it is..!

Sorry to disturb again.
Would it be possible to have another link on rs?
It is rather awesome for megaupload here(I mean HK).
Thanks A lot!
I’ll try to upload when I get the time, but would Filesonic help for now..?

Dear Mr Thirsty – or is it Mr Rabbit??
Your tribute to Snra Vega is a beautifully crafted clip. Obviously done with a lot of love, care and attention. You are to be applauded, and I applaud you.
But as someone who lives amongst the gypsies of Granada (which I do), I feel compelled to say that the music is most definitely NOT flamenco, and somewhat detracts from the rest.
The song form, the harmonies, the rhythms and even the instruments (its a balalaika and not even a guitar) are just wrong. I know it isn’t your music and you were trying to add some atmos, but I personally feel it doesn’t work. SORRY!!
Having said all of that, you are doing a fantastic job with your classy site and please keep it up. Its a daily “must” on my list of things I do.
I appreciate your considered opinion Granadino. Certainly – it isn’t traditional flamenco but a fusion – the reason I chose it was the ease with which I could place film segments, and to give a general ambience for a non Spanish public.
Even in the more traditional flamenco used in my earlier Spanish Cinema Tribute, I edited out some of the virtuoso and vocals. Much as I love flamenco (even having invested in shoes and taken lessons for a year), I just felt the need to tone it down for general world audience.
But seeing there are some knowledgeable music fans also enjoying the blog, perhaps I’ll include a more traditional flamenco in my next Spanish tribute – a Carlos Montoya perhaps. Suggestions are welcome..!
I thoroughly enjoyed it…..Excellent work as always……..Cheers
Very nice video for a very nice woman, thanks a lot!
TR: what an excellent tribute video! The music and editing you did made this beautiful actress fly off the screen of my TV. Just a great all around effort. Thanks!
Well I’m glad you enjoyed it Han – even if not everyone seem to agree on the choice of music.
