RE: Soniquete flamenco en Jerez Sabo... (in reply to Guest)

I bought the DVD (“Soniquete Flamenco en Jerez” ) and recommend it. When I first saw it I noticed how similar the playing was of the two guitarists. I was guessing that the older guitarist taught the younger. At the time I was in Sevilla with my wife who is a dancer. This was around the time of El Bienal de Flamenco. Despite the fact that I could have taken classes with more “renowned” flamenco guitarrists we decided to go to Jerez de la Frontera and eventually met Fernando and Isaac Moreno (father and son) the guitarists from the Sabor Jerez DVD. Jeréz reminded my wife and I of Puerto Rico where we are from. Whereas some people are just barely "tolerant" (sometimes bordering on arrogance) of your interest in their culture, others are proud and appreciative that you made an effort to learn about a culture other than your own. Puerto Rico (especially the mountainous center of our island) has a lot of common history with Andalucia and Las Islas Canarias, so we were very pleased to find we share a sense of humor and hospitality. In this spirit, Fernando Moreno made us feel completely at home as he generously, methodically and patiently taught me authentic Bulerías de Jerez toque. I was especially interested in the accompaniment of cante. He invited us to some rehearsals with most of the Sabor Jerez cantaores… One was a Villancico rehearsal (Christmas music) which may seem a little off topic to some who are interested in flamenco but it was great for us because once again, connections with our music in Puerto Rico were very clear and it enriched our understanding of our own culture. “Soniquete Flamenco en Jerez” is very useful since cante is very hard to come by outside of Spain and there is a lot of it in this DVD. Also it’s great to see flamenco presented in other settings other than a stage performance. I believe it’s important, and in a practical sense can be very helpful to become familiar with the variations within the different cante forms; to get to know what they are singing about and why. But then again, I believe it helps to get to know the food, the people, the history… Anyway, we recommend the DVD.
