David Amaya fue guitarrista flamenco de moda en los años en que España presumía de Expo y de Olimpiadas. Por algún motivo, David Amaya se cansa de España, y del flamenco, y en 1999 se instala en Buenos Aires, Argentina. Allí también acompañó, a laguitarra eléctrica, a los mejores. Pero la vida le dio un giro y un día jugando al fútbol se rompió las manos. Durante casi dos años, David Amaya pensó que nunca volvería a tocar la guitarra. David se jura a si mismo que si sus manos sanan volveráatocar flamenco. Encontrar una guitarra flamenca en Argentina no es una empresa fácil, pero David Amaya la encontró, en la trastienda de un local de la Avenida de Mayo, en el céntrico barrio del Congreso, en Buenos Aires capital Federal. Allí DavidAmayaademás, hizo un hallazgo: el increíble hallazgo del barrio del Congreso: Una comunidad de gitanos de origen andaluz, cuyos patriarcas emigraron a Argentina fundamentalmente durante la posguerra española, que conserva intactos todos sus rasgos deidentidad.
David Amaya was a fashionable flamenco guitarist in the years when Spain boasted of Expo and the Olympic Games. For some reason, David Amaya tired of Spain, and of flamenco, and moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina. There, on an electric guitar, heagainaccompanied the best musicians. But his life took a turn and one day, while playing soccer, he broke his hands. For almost two years David Amaya thought he’d never play the guitar again. He swore to himself that if his hands were cured he’d playflamenco again. Finding a flamenco guitar in Argentina isn’t easy, but David Amaya found one, in the back room of a shop in the Avenida de Mayo, in the central neighbourhood of Congreso, in Buenos Aires. There, David Amaya made another discovery:theincredible discovery of a community of gypsies of Andalusian origin, whose patriarchs emigrated to Argentina mainly during the Spanish post-war period, and which has preserved all its characteristic features.
