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:
“Twenty or thirty years ago, in the army, we had a lot of obscure adventures, and years later we tell them at parties, and suddenly we realize that those two very difficult years of our lives have become lumped together into a few episodes that have lodged in our memory in a standardized form, and are always told in a standardized way, in the same words. But in fact that lump of memories has nothing whatsoever to do with our experience of those two years in the army and what it has made of us.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
