I have different folders in my ipod. Flamenco, Persian music, Smooth Jazz and deep House music (what a combination! lol). It depends in which mood i am an what i am doing. When i go for jogging, i really like to hear those deep house rythms. You forget that you are jogging and the rythm drives you on. When i wake up sundays late, i start the day with some Smooth Jazz. Just to let you know what i mean, here is a little upload. First minute Smooth Jazz, then deep house (I know most of you might hate it, but i like it!). I mean it is quite unusual for someone who likes flamenco and plays flamenco guitar to hear such "dumb" music,,,,but thats me... (i didnt upload any persian music, that might be too much for you :) Just click free User, then wait few seconds, download http://rapidshare.com/files/195143583/zzzz.mp3.html --- And of course, rest of the time, i hear flamenco: I dont have complete Albums on my "playlist". Because there is no Album which i like completely and 100%. I combine different pieces from different Artists and Albums to keep it interesting and varying. At the moment i am in to Esperanza Fernandez, Montse Cortes, Marina Heredia, La Susi, some pieces from Pacos Cositas Buenas, Antonio Rey, Guadiana (and David Carraduela), Javier Limon, and some others.... I removed some solo guitar pieces which i heard over and over again and which i got a little bit tired of (but i am sure after few weeks i want to hear them again)

Kate, I'm so glad you mentioned Pastora Pavón (La Niña)--she had a voice unique to flamenco: a keening, urgent sound that forced the listener to pay attention right now to what she was singing; she was one of those rare singers who can be relied upon to give you chills and gooseflesh, especially in her siguiriyas, soleares and saetas. The CD of her in the series Grands Cantaores du Flamenco (Le Chant du Monde #LDX 274859) is a good introduction. Another great cantaora was Manolita de Jerez, rarely recorded but a fabulous singer. She can be heard on the old Decca LP Danzas Flamencas that I've posted about before, and also on the Arhoolie CD Early Cante Flamenco, #CD-326. La Niña also can be found on this CD, along with much other great cante from the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. A lot of fine singing by women (1970s-1980s) can be found on the 2-CD Ellas Dan el Cante (Mujeres en el Flamenco), RTVE #62095. runner

Hello Flamenco Forum First post after a while just reading and enjoying other people's posts, RE: female singers. Fantastic recommendations so far, to which I would add: Marina Heredia (I get the feeling she's a bit overshadowed by Estrella Morente, but a really fine voice, and very interesting material on La voz del agua.) Argentina, a young singer with a couple of albums out. La Macanita - never listened to a whole album, just tracks, but I love what I've seen of her live (i.e. on tv/youtube). Familia Montoya - a trio of female voices, my favourite being La Negra. Check her out on youtube too. Encarna Anillo - Barcas de Plata (co-produced by Miguel Poveda who I think also contributes to a track). Also featuring two of the Familia Montoya ladies. Lole Montoya, with or without Manuel. Not everyone's cup of tea, vocally, but, god, how beautiful was she! Remedios Amaya La Perla de Cadiz - one of the canonical female performers, much referenced, much loved. Forgive me if I'm repeating names already mentioned. As for what ends up being wiped off my player, anything not flamenco doesn't seem to last very long on it at the moment.
