Not well versed in English, flamenco guitarist Pedro Soler was initially finding it difficult to explain what the musical genre was all about. But then he saw a way out.

"Do you remember the Hindi films Murder and Aashiqi? Flamenco is used in some of the numbers," laughed Soler speaking to a small group at the Alliance Francaise here.

The presence of an interpreter also helped both the performer and his audience. On Tuesday, a much larger audience was to get a taste of this music in one of the city's prestigious halls.
