Movie Reviews of Gypsy Heart - The Heart and Soul of Flamenco / Omayra Amaya

Movie Review: Dazzling, I just wish it were longer!
Summary: 5 Stars

No, it's not an ethnographic documentary, and it's not a survey of the whole genre, but it's a very powerful hour of performances, interviews, backstage footage, and more from a breathtaking talent and her ensemble. The archival clips of her aunt Carmen Amaya are astonishing and unforgettable. While nothing can compare to the power of a live show by this caliber of talent, this video does document the energy and spirit of the music and work.

Summary of Gypsy Heart - The Heart and Soul of Flamenco / Omayra Amaya

The heart and soul of flamenco dancing. This fascinating documentary chronicles Omayra Amaya's unusual life as a flamenco dancer in Boston. This DVD is a tribute to her struggle to keep a fiery dance form burning in a chilly New England city. Also included is dazzling historical film footage of Amaya's great aunt, the legendary Carmen Amaya, considered the greatest flamenco dancer of all time. Footage of her dancing has rarely been seen in over 54 years. Omayra Amaya states, "I am a Gypsy from Anadalusia", and explains that flamenco emerged from Spain's persecution of Gypsies as "a scream of liberation." The program delves into the difference between dancers who grow up with flamenco "natural dancers" and those who learn it in a classroom "academics." Amaya also explains how she tries to balance tradition and experimentation without "crossing the line of flamenco." This unique program is an engaging and informative look into the heart and soul of flamenco dancing and a rare glance into one of the most famous flamenco families, the Amayas. Includes original music by Jose Valle "Chuscales."
