  • Fanny Hill - The Original 'Fifty Shades...'

    Posted on May 17, 2013 by media

  • Discworld Costumes

    Posted on May 14, 2013 by media

It combines the evocative and distinctive singing style of the cante, the dramatic strumming of the toque (guitar playing), the rhythm of the palmas (handclapping) and the colour and action of the baile (dance).
