Flamenco sampling and Cadbury.

After being disappointed with the lack of audio guidance on a flamenco webpage, I clicked on music samples ranging from 1900s to 1970s.
Man, it really sounded tragic.
Music's not as lively as what we commonly hear on commercialised bands and the singing is like a mix of what we usually hear of a muslim prayer through the mosque mike and that of an oppressed being. Pardon me for the muslim prayer part, that's the closest of a description I can get.
Compared to what I'm obsessively hearing these days, flamenco music back then really was an obvious outlet for that melancholic blend of anger and sadness with a sense of lost.

From flamencodance.com :
" The roots of Flamenco can be traced back for centuries. Born from the expression of a persecuted people, most notably, the Gypsies of Southern Spain, its unique blend of influences and musical complexity can be attributed to the consequences of the decree made in Spain 1492 by Catholic Spanish King Ferdinand V and Queen Isabella that everyone living under their domain convert to Catholicism. This proclamation was issued under the threat of varying degrees of punishment, the most severe being the death penalty, by fire. Gypsies, Muslims, Jews and anyone living in Spain at the time was ordered to convert. It is believed that because of this decree these different ethnic groups came together to help each other, and within this melding of cultures Flamenco was born. "

Anyway, I was feeling peckish and had the urge to nosh up. Meanwhile the Cadbury ad song was blasting in my head and I was singing it on my way home.
I saw that sea of chocolate, that tasty ripped off gear knob.
Heck.
I made a U-turn and dug out a Cadbury Dairy Milk at NTUC.
The beginning of another addiction. Yum. =)
