Flamenco Ukulele
|
|
|
Believe it or not, I am taking a serious effort to learn flamenco for the ukulele. Playing normally only my own solo compositions, I am broadening my base with jazz, classical and flamenco currently. Along with my solo compositiong, I am learning several jazz standards, classical pieces like Vivaldi's Concerto in C, esoteric peices such as Rimsky Korsakov's flight of the bumblebee, Hawaiian songs and some 20th century works...and, hopefully broadening my skill set to incorporate a serious study of flamenco music. All, on the ukulele. Currently I have only composed some stuff with basic flamenco chord progressions and styles, but what I was looking for was the names of some of the top solo guitar flamenco players such that I could get CD's and the likes. Any feedback is appreciated

A couple of weeks ago I heard a report on BBC Radio 4 News about the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, who were about to perform at a sell out concert in London. Man, these guys are GOOD! They play all sorts of stuff, Jazz, Classical, Rock, Punk, Rap, Reggae etc etc. One of the members said "Basically the Ukulele is a **** detector. If you can play it on the Ukulele and it sounds good, then it is truly a good tune." LOL! Check out the archived text here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/today/print/arts/ukulele_20040204.shtml Be sure to click on the audio link at the bottom of the page to hear the full report and some examples of numbers from the Sex Pistols and Hendrix played on the Uke! Great stuff! To Guest, I would investigate the Flamenco form "Guajiras" which I think would work well with the instrument, especially a group of instruments IMO. cheers Ron
