Oddly NOT credited in the Rito book let, I found the info in the old VHS-DVD transfer booklet for the toque series that extracted programs from Rito and other series.

Xodo da Bahia by brazillian composer Dilermando Reis, a "choro".

Thanksfor the video tburke, and thanks for the info Ricardo.

The video tells us Pepe was from Sevilla. I just came from Sevilla to Granada. My hotel was in Triana. Pepe could have been walking the streets of Sevilla day before yesterday: accent, gestures, facial expressions, the whole bit.

Further I would say watching his interview he was a very cool character, his approach to playing, technique, accompaniment vs solo playing, his thoughts on cante being more than just solea siguiriya buleria, teaching etc....very little has changed it feels to me vs a modern maestro. Even he's using a negra for portions of that concert. I like how he says no need for music theory/reading music to learn flamenco, then they show him play that classical choro. The same deal for PDL when he says the same, no theory just play by ear then busts out the super involved zapateado.

The interviewer was very clever in that sense, that's why I like the whole series the way it cuts through the BS in a short time.

Yes, but it always used to make me wince watching him dribble hot ash on all those beautiful guitars…

I guess the cigars caught up with him eventually

I believe that Pepe used to play quite a bit in the UK during the 70s (and maybe earlier). I saw him play at my school around 1982. If I remember correctly he started off with a cigar - although I don't think it was lit!

Very cool fellow indeed, I also find it interesting comparing his style of classical guitar influenced solo playing to the jazz influenced players of today kind of a cool parallel.
