David Amaya was a fashionable flamenco guitarist in the years when Spain boasted of Expo and the Olympic Games. For some reason, David Amaya tired of Spain, and of flamenco, and moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina. There, on an electric guitar, he again accompanied the best musicians. But his life took a turn and one day, while playing soccer, he broke his hands. For almost two years David Amaya thought he’d never play the guitar again. He swore to himself that if his hands were cured he’d play flamenco again. Finding a flamenco guitar in Argentina isn’t easy, but David Amaya found one, in the back room of a shop in the Avenida de Mayo, in the central neighbourhood of Congreso, in Buenos Aires. There, David Amaya made another discovery: the incredible discovery of a community of gypsies of Andalusian origin, whose patriarchs emigrated to Argentina mainly during the Spanish post-war period, and which has preserved all its characteristic features.
