The 12 best CDs of 2004
|
|
|
I just got an email from www.esflamenco.com which announced their top 12 CDs for 2004, I dont know if these are their favourites, their readers favourites or their best sellers but there were some surprises there. Emilio did not make it but as we are not selling at esflamenco I am not surprised. However the compilation album Flamenco Chill In which has one of Emilio's tracks ( remixed and remastered by trendy producers so it is totally out of compás with a wierd piano track on top ) made it to the top 12 . No doubt Emilio will be thrilled , not What does everyone else think. In no particular order as far as I can tell the list includes Tomatito, Paco de Lucia, La Niña Pastori, Arcangel, Jose Merce. Montse Cortes, Juan Carlos Romero, Jeronimo, El Barrio, Flamenco Chill in and Flamenco Jazz. I'm surprised not to see Son de la Frontera. Any one else see anything obvious missing ? Kate

El Barrio, Flamenco Chill in and Flamenco Jazz I meant flamenco too. The Stones has as much to do with flamenco as these people. Sean

Miguel Perhaps you could explain what you mean to say. Selu himself says El Barrio is not flamenco, he is a cantante, , not a cantaor and it is a group of his compositions (nor do they play rumbas). Flamenco Chill played here in the summer and demonstrated a lamentable lack of technique and musicality, neither music nor chill. Flamenco Jazz has good musicians but have a lot to do with Jazz Andaluz and little or nothing to do with flamenco. They dont play rumbas either. I have heard the Gipsy Kings live: they are absolutely great. So what are you talking about??? Sean

The Rolling Stones? I don't think it's funny... Well, I am sorry if you have no sense of humour. I was merely pointing out that several of these groups do not play and do not claim to play flamenco, so should not figure on a list of favourite flamenco CDs. Sean

Yes Nunez' new album was some of the best flamenco guitar I have heard on CD in a long time. Even stuck in some Escudero to balance out his salsa/jazz tunes. That one and Paco's CD I have listened to repeatedly this year. Tomatito was pretty boring comparing to his last offering IMO. I saw Arcangel live this summer in Lebrija and he was great, so he can stay!

Kate, like you I'm surprised by the absence of Son de la Frontera - and surprised it hasn't been talked about more. It was my (surprise) hit buy of the year. Karenanne

Good news re: Son de la Frontera and thanks for the welcome, Kate. I only just found this forum and currently can't get back into Flamenco teacher since the changes. (I think its due to my complete IT stupidity) I always look forward to reading your posts here - and there - am always surprised that there are so few women when there are so many women dancers. I think they (the male guitarists) need us or they would be constantly lost in discussions about strings and guitar makes. (Tongue in cheek comment - for any male string obsessed guitarist about to shoot me!!) Karenanne
