First experience of sabi:

I was in Madrid and we had tickets to see the National Flamenco 
Troupe, maybe at the Opera House.  I love flamenco!!!  The stage was 
dark, and I was excited because I REALLY love this dance.  Out of the 
dark comes a scrawny little old man and a chubby little old lady.  I 
was about forty and I'm thinking 'Oh my God!  What is this 
nonsense?'   Well, I never before or after have seen such a 
beautiful, graceful, deep flamenco danced.  Later there were many 
young and beautiful artists dancing too, but I will never forget 
those two older dancers.  Sabi, a very good experience.
