ORIGINAL: ramparts I haven't heard any Taller de Compas stuff before. I've heard you talk about them a lot, who are they, exactly? The piano bulerias was cool stuff, I enjoyed that...might just pick up that disc on CDBaby...wish I was around for that US tour!! Taller de Compás were a group of kids formed from a Compás workshop run by the Gypsy Association in Almanjayar. We saw them play at the Eshavira one night when H was doing the sound there and were knocked out. We went on to produce an album with them 'Calé Cale', with various guest artists, Enrique Morente, Emiloi Maya, Pablo Maldonado, all people we were also working with. The CD won the critics award for best flamenco percussion album of 2002. When we started the kids were as young as 12 and I also became their chaperone/manager when they started doing gigs around Spain and we had to stay overnight. We had some wild times but none as wild as our US/Canada tour. They played around 16 gigs over 20 days, Chicago, Detroit, Indiana, Wisconsin, Toronto. They're almost all grown up now, the two youngest got married and are expecting their first child, the eldest the dancer Andrés is also a father. This forum was active in raising money for him when he was offered a place at the Mario Maya school and could not afford to go. We paid his school fees. He now teaches and still dances and is managing the second phase of the group's career as adults, now called 'Compás de Almanjayar', their first gig is later this month to celebrate the Day of the Gypsies.
