Flamenco Memory
At the age of eighty-seven she died in Sevilla, "poor and forgotten," thinking that flamenco was also dying. "Los niños modernos, la juventú, nos mira como cosas raras, sin pensá que hemos jecho yorá con nuestras gitanerías a tre generaciones."
Yet a decade later the flamenco arts were experiencing a renaissance, and she herself as Juana la Macarrona was well remembered. An award at the Concurso nacional de Córdoba has been named the "Juana la Macarrona" prize in her honor.

Famous quotes containing the word memory:
“I hope there will be no effort to put up a shaft or any monument of that sort in memory of me or of the other women who have given themselves to our work. The best kind of a memorial would be a school where girls could be taught everything useful that would help them to earn an honorable livelihood; where they could learn to do anything they were capable of, just as boys can. I would like to have lived to see such a school as that in every great city of the United States.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
