So after seeing all the Flamenco stuff I was really jazzed up. I knew I had heard this stuff before on a latin jazz cd I had. Its the soundtrack of the movie "calle 54" by Fernando Trueba. The movie is much like the flamenco movie we saw today with various "music videos/scenes." There is one that is almost totally like we saw today, except minus the guitar and add really harmonically advanced piano and bass playing with a jazz drummer. In the movie you see the dancer and the background clappers, but unfortunately no copy in the library. There was a website with short clips but now that is gone and even the internet wayback machine can't help me.
You can listen to the really sweet clip here
piano - Chano Dominguez
singer - Blas Cordoba "el Kejio"
My other favorite track on the album from Michel Camilo's trio with Anthony Jackson on bass and "el Negro" Hernandez on drums
sorry the tracks take a long time to download...
