Honestly, I haven't learn much new material on flamenco lately as I've shifted focus to classical in hopes of taking my grades. I've just started 1-to-1 lessons with my teacher and it's really going so fast that it takes almost all myy time away from other styles. Another reason would be because amazon.com sent Vol 2 of my Graf-Martinez method before Vol 1, and damn, the CD's in Vol 1.. I've been playing the same solea for months, adding on small details here and there. Strumming some tangos and bulerias too. I'm starting to follow rhythm! Now I just need some falsetas to insert between the chording compas. As for the tremolo piece, it's actually Romance de Amor. The original is played like this: a m i a m i a m i a m i a m i a m i p-----------------p---------------- So I just modified it and played the tremolo for the melody. The thumb plays the strings in this order, 6 2 3 3 2 3 3 2 3 6 2 3 3 2 3 3 2 3. Of course when the melody is on the 2nd string, the thumb will play 6 3 4 4 3 4 4 3 4. The first bass note will also depend on which string it is played on. Just when I thought that I made the tremolo version of the piece, I found it in a score book later on. Turns out that I'm not a great composer after all. By the way, Stairway To Heaven was my latest recording. Tremolo style with some rumba at the fast portions. Now I just need someone to solo over that, anyone thinks that he/she can do a nice solo over rumba style Stairway? Cheers and thanks for the encouragement, Cheston PS. I was watching this Ricky Martin interview a long time ago, he said something about his new song being very 'flamenco'. The album title was 'Duende' if I'm not mistaken. LOL

Hi Guys, Not sure about being an expert on all things Spanish!!! There was an English version released and I think it got to number one in the UK, though best check with someone who still lives there. Anyway I found these Spanglish lyrics on line. I've put translations in brackets for the spanish words friday night it's party time feeling ready looking fine, viene diego rumbeando, ( Diego arrives doing the rumba) with the magic in his eyes checking every girl in sight, grooving like he does the mambo he's the man alli en la disco, ( alli = there) playing sexy felling hotter, he's the king bailando et ritmo ragatanga, ( he's the King at dancing the ragatanga rhythm) and the dj that he knows well, on the spot always around twelve, plays the mix that diego mezcla con la salsa, ( plays the mix that Diego mixes with the salsa) y la baila and he dances y la canta ( and he dances, and dances and sings) [Chorus:] asereje ja de je de jebe tu de jebere seibiunouva, majavi an de bugui an de buididipi, asereje ja de je de jebe tu de jebere seibiunouva, majavi an de bugui an de buididipi ( this is totally made up language ) many think its brujeria, ( brujeria = wizardry or magic) how he comes and disappears, every move will hypnotize you, some will call it chuleria, ( Chuleria from the word chula meaning cool or pimp) others say that its the real, rastafari afrogitano he's the man alli en la disco, playing sexy felling hotter, he's the king bailando et ritmo ragatanga, and the dj that he knows well, on the spot always around twelve, plays the mix that diego mezcla con la salsa, y la baila and he dances y la canta Kate
