`  == Extreme Negative Bias == This article is highly biased, and moreover the bias appears in the ``biography' section, as if it were a fact of Montoya's life.    It is true that Montoya's style was not appreciated by some ``serious`` flamenco students, but he certainly wasn't denigrated by all flamenco students (or professionals, for that matter).  It is also not true that he was ``unpopular among afficianados``.  For example, I am an afficianado, and I revere Carlos Montoya for his own unique contribution to the flamenco artform.  Some snobbish, anally-retentive afficianados disdained Montoya in much the same way as certain afficianados of Indian Raga disdained Ravi Shankar for his work with western musicians.  But the fact is that, just as Shankar did more to expose western ears to raga than any 50 sitarists before him, so did Montoya do more  single-handedly  to expose the world outside of Spain to flamenco, than the whole of the generation of flamenco players of which he was a part.  Also, the article is incorrect in stating that ``the compás which has evolved within flamenco over hundreds of years``.  While one could maybe make such an historical argument for the development of the compas, that ancient heritage was not ``within flamenco,`` because flamenco itself is not ``hundreds of years`` old.  What we know today as ``flamenco`` is largely a product of the late 19th and early 20th century, and is a little over a century old.  Calling flamenco hundreds of years old is a little like calling rock-and-roll ballads ``hundreds of years old``, just because the ballad form can be traced back to the middle ages.  This article needs some serious re-writing.`
