FLAMENCO GUITAR VIRTUOSOS

Hey everyone,

How are you all doing? A long time ago (maybe three years back), I downloaded about ten or more flamenco tunes from a site (I don't remember which site, but I think it was mp3.com). They all seemed to belong to an album called FLAMENCO GUITAR VIRTUOSOS, so I think that each track is played by a different artist. However, the tracks did not seem very outstanding at the time since I knew nothing about flamenco then.

Now that I have been playing flamenco for about four years, I stumbled upon the tracks on my hard drive. I listened to them, and concluded that they are AMAZING. I mean, really unbelievable technically and melodically. I was stunned by one of them (called ALO ROJO VIVO) that was one of the best bulerias ever!! I was just wondering, has anybody heard this tune? Does anyone know who played it? Is it PDL by any chance? If not, then I think this guitarist is REALLY GOOD (maybe better than PDL). Really awesome. Unfortunately, the mp3 is about 4 MBs big, and my connection is quite slow (plus I don't even know how to upload stuff), so I have no idea how I can upload it so you guys can hear it. I found this link that I tried to fiddle around with to see if I can stream the tunes online, but didn't know how. Try to figure out how, and listen to them and let me know what you think. They are REALLY AMAZING.

I noticed that the stuff is not available on the last.fm website. I will try to upload, but I guess it will take ages.

Googled it. "Jose Manuel Roldan" is the player's name.

Al Rojo Vivo. I googled it too, and did not come up with it. I even have that album called "...De Nacar".

If I remember a few years ago, ToddK had transcribed some of it and uploaded an mp3 of himself playing it. Good stuff. That guy played on some of the Compas CDs.
