...bare shoulder flashes on the screen to the riffs of a flamenco guitar. A feminine hand on an unclothed waist follows, and the gorgeous face of a dark-haired woman appears with--yikes!--all her wrinkles in living color. The camera pulls back, and-- double yikes!--she's naked. Next, a grinning full-figured woman with silver-streaked hair. Then comes an age-spotted shoulder. Finally, a long-legged beauty with cropped gray hair and--egads!--a lined neck and a furrowed brow poses in the buff, save for a pair of dangling earrings and a cuff bracelet...
...easy to classify Broza as a folk singer, but that label is ultimately too restrictive. He sees the guitar not as a piece of machinery, but as a living body that can produce music in varied and frequently surprising ways. Broza opened the set with a hailstorm of frenzied flamenco-like sequences that rose and fell in intensity and speed. His musical relationship with flamenco is complex and profound (Broza spent much of his childhood in Spain), with even his gravelly voice bearing a striking resemblance to that of Gipsy Kings front man Nicolas Reyes...
...people do “cool†stuff rather than well-chosen stuff. I feel that that does not lend itself to be kind of obscure aesthetically, which I think music should be in a play—stripped down and open for interpretation.

In Haken, Haruko tells her full-time colleagues that "overtime is not in my vocabulary," leaves work precisely at 6 p.m. and in between contracts, flies to Spain to work on her flamenco dancing (don't ask). When the company offers her a permanent job, she turns them down, preferring a temp's freedom to the corporate ideal. That attitude appeals to young Japanese who might actually want a life outside of work...
...grand fashion last month in Rioja, Spain. King Juan Carlos I toured the spa alongside über-architect Frank Gehry, who designed the accompanying Marqués de Riscal Hotel as a sweeping homage to the local culture. The enormous titanium roof is sculpted in the shape of a flamenco skirt and tinged to match the pink and gold shades of vintage wine bottles. The 15,000-sq.-ft. spa has 14 treatment rooms and features, among other vineyard-inspired treatments, a Wine Barrel Bath. Caudalie co-founder Mathilde Thomas describes the entire visitor experience as "very elaborate, modern and beautiful...
