I guess my main objection to "puro" is that it means, tranlated to English, pure. Well we all know there is little pure about flamenco, since it's such a mishmash of musical traditions. Doesn't it really mean, "good", when they say "puro"? I would translate puro in a musical context as 'authentic', as opposed to to the idea of 'pure' as in breeding, meaning unsullied which has other connotations. Flamenco is no more a 'mish mash' than the Blues is, which makes it sound like something that was all thrown in to one pot and just came out how it was. My understanding is that both blues and flamenco came out of a unique time and place and people, a synthesis of specific cultures and circumstances. Kate

it certainly explains why the deflamenco review sounds more like PR , a press release Yes she told me that Universal wanted it edited or only pieces put on the deflamenco site so they left a lot of good stuff out.

I hear that many Universal artists are leaving the company including Tomatito, Carmen Linares, Marina Heredia. Have you heard anything about this ? Is Universal giving up on flamenco altogether ? All I've heard is what you said. A lot of the artist with Macande are not happy with the way Universal handles a lot of things so who knows.

How are things up in your neck of the woods? What guitar are you playing these days? The TP negra? Tom, Everything is fine. As usual in Portland, my 120 rose bushes bloomed a couple of weeks ago and then the rain started and hasn't stopped! What I now have is pink, yellow and white blobs. Number two daughter (the last) graduated with honors from high school last week. Now I just have to pay for college. Yes, I've been playing the Teznos Perez negra almost exclusively. It just keeps getting better and better. You know how critical I am of negras. I'm telling you this guitar is turning into a monster. If Eddie's Brazilian DeVoe is better than the TP, it must be unbelievable, but then again they both are in the $7,000 range so they should be good. It has everything you want in a negra; great volume, ultra clear mids and trebles, exceptional separation, great sustain. It's also starting to get a bit of what I call the Conde throaty sound to it. It's a very contemporary type of sound. It's the tone you would hear on new recordings. I saw you had the Tezanos classical’s on your site, but not the flamencos. For the folks that don't want to be on De Voe’s list for 3 years, they should get a TP negra from you! They won't be sorry. Pat
