All the vignettes that we watched are absolutely fascinating!!!
Flamenco.. it’s full of energy, force, and power. It’s an expression of strength, courage, and dignity.
In choir, we are always advised to NOT oversing so that we would not damage our vocal chords, so when I watched/listened to musicians from the vignettes, I was astonished by their vocal technique. It was amazing to see the way in which they use their voices to tell their stories of hardship and struggles… an intense expression of their lives and conditions.
In the film Carmen, it was interesting to see how the musicians practice—Yes, they do need to practice because they need the physical, mental, and emotional discipline.
