Hello everybody,

It's rare when I ever communicate, I know, but in the last 2 1/2 years we had two kids so it's difficult to find time to get on the forum with fellow flamenco guitar players. But in my quest to find Flamenco singers and dancers to accompany, I finally recorded two videos of my playing in the form of Seguirillas and Malagueña, so that I can at least introduce myself 'virtually' to other flamenco aficionados who I am hoping will give me the time of day.

I REALLY, REALLY want to play for a singer and I have been practicing everyday to CDs from Chocolate, Fosforito, and some of the old timers like Chacon.

If you know of a singer or dancer near Los Angeles or anywhere in Southern California, I will be there from January 20th through the end of June 2010. The remainder of 2010, I will be in Germany near Cologne and Düsseldorf. So if you know of any Spanish people living in Germany, your connections would be warmly welcomed.

Thanks for watching/listening!

Rita de Los Angeles
