On 12, July, the Ballantine, a famous whiskey brand who enjoys a global reputation, brought the hundred-percent Spanish flamenco to Shanghai, where is hold the international dance stars impressionist classic party named as ‘classic dance, real impression�in the Urban Sculpture Center.
Rafael Amargo was coming. This flamenco master dancer had just finished the largest invested play ‘Quixote�in the history of flamenco. The flamenco interpreted by him, represents the highest level in the global flamenco world today, because of what, he is considered as the greatest dancer in the history of Spain. At the very evening, he has brought with him all his persons from Spain. When the guitar was played, the dancers played with the rhythm, tapping the floor with toes and heels, spinning and rising the arms. The castanets in their hands clanged along with the rhythm, accompanied by the �/FONT>Jaleo�. Sometimes it is joyful, sometimes it’s ebullient, it seems that the soul was telling a story. Rafael Amargo was dancing in the selflessness, the ebullient atmosphere on him influenced everyone in the party.
Just as Rafael Amargo has said, Ballantine’s whiskey and flamenco have one thing in common, that is the perfect combination of classic and modernity. From the popular dance among the gypsies to today’s national dance of Spain, flamenco has never lost his popularity. Due to the classic, flamenco has never been out of date, thanks to the modernity, flamenco can develop, that is where the fashion of flamenco lies in. Things are the same to Ballantine’s Scotland whiskey, which has a brewing tradition of 180 years. Although the time goes by, the whiskey has always kept its purity and fidelity. Until today, in such a fashionable party, people still drink it to celebrate their joys.
