In our fourth and final episode, we examine the character of flamenco as opposed to flamenco fusion, and how flamenco fusion has affected traditional flamenco. We conclude that it is unclear whether or not traditional flamenco will survive, especially in view of the higher pay offered for fusion as opposed to a traditional flamenco performance, and the struggle many traditional artists face in trying to make a living.
