According to: http://www.antonionajarro.com/esp/

The music of Sp of Brian will be: "malaguena"

It says that Najarro has made an intense artistic work with Brian getting a program full of intensity and with an artistic and gestural dynamics completely innovative for Joubert

[Genia]

Hmm... I hope Antonio Najarro had permission to reveal Brian's music on his website. If not, that's very unprofessional!!

[plushenkofan]

I think Jeremy Abbott has a better chance of pulling off a flamenco than Joubert because of the artistry.

Malaguena = Spanish generic program and also overused Dunno that he's gonna need Najarro for that. . .

[briancoogaert]

Let me keep my flamenco dream

... even if I´ll accept Spanish generic program

So, ready and happy to hear Malaguena once again ?

There are many Malaguenas. Does anyone know if it's the overused one by Lecuona ? And which version ?

I hope so too! I think this kind of music suits to Brian. He has much more temperament and passion in his eyes than Abbott.

One thing that I have faith in is Abbott's musicality and versatility. He has intensity and drama in his skating and you could see it particularly in his Masquerade Waltz LP from 2 years ago. I have always wanted him to skate to a program that's just purely about the dancing (rather than theme-based) because I think that's what he is. I'm so excited I can't wait!

[centerpt1]

Joubert is a showman- look forward to his program.

Abbott has grown so much in presentation over the last year. Not sure what will come of this, but Abbott/Sato have shown the ability to ditch a program at the last minute if it's not working. So if it's not good, it'll be gone.

[Artifice]

If we only think about what skaters did beautifully in the past, we would do nothing today.
I hope Joubert won't try to skate like Stephane. It would be laughable !

That's not what I said. Joubert just seems to lack dancing qualities to do justice to a flamenco piece. But he can do the "macho man".

You´re heartless

There are never enough Malagueñas in skating world

See. Some hope still for me cause why should a spanish site as Najarro´s write "malaguena". Oh, it can be something shocking and original

(We need a what malagueña/malaguena Joubert will skate vbookie )

[kirkbiggestfan]

Is that the only excuse he found to wear a sexy toreador outfit?

[jlai]

I thought Abbott was going to do Flamenco last season because he's already done tango the prior season and Waltz the one before. Of course, the question should be, "after Flamenco then what?"

[casken]

I remember when Malequena was the considered the Carmen of skating before Carmen was the Carmen of skating.

[Kasey]

Methinks one of these skaters will have more success with that kind of program than the other...

Paso Doble ? Quickstep ? Folk Dance ?

At first, I thought you were just stating the obvious. Then, the more I think about, the more profound it gets. Now, it will bother me till I figure out who will do better. Thanks, Kasey. For now, I will go with Joubert for pure shock value. Kiddin' of course...

Well it has been a while since Malaguena was used by a top skater. Besides, maybe Brian will use some new-age French version of it .

[The Observer]

Are there any photos of Brian practicing his new programs?

[Mamouna38]

There was that a photo together with Roman Haguenauer (it seems to me that it is on this forum but or knows more, lol).
