i have something similar on my pc, i have about 200 flamenco albums, and a program that loads em all up in one screen , with cover, artist bio, track details eg. whos playing , whos doing palmas whos playing flute. I have done hours and hours of reserch on the web to get all the Bio's and albums details. I am 80 % done trough all the guitarists. program has a artist database also , and i also have it set up so that when i play the audio it tells me if i have the tab for it or not. is greate , it does search , so if i just type in , Tangos it will give me all the Tangos tracks I have on my pc in 2 seconds. I have it organised in 4 main folders , Flamenco Guitar, Guitar & Cante, COMPAS, Light Flamenco Heres an Example of what i get when i play 1 track from Jimenez: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A los ninos que sufren Artist El Viejin Bitrate 160 kbps Album Algo Que Decir Sample rate 44100 Hz Year 1999 Duration 05:26 Genre Flamenco Sub-genre Flamenco Modern Guitar Personal rating **** Location FLAMENCO\FLAMENCO GUITAR\El Viejin Algo Que Decir (1999) Filename 06 - A los ninos que sufren.mp3 Artists on the track: Paco de Lucía, El Viejín, Contrabass: Javier Colina, Violin: Bernardo Parrilla, Cello: José Luis Ruiz Artist Bio Name:José Jiménez Abadía Birth: 1962 Madrid "El Viejín's guitar playing is characterised by a knowing virtuosity, (that is) overwhelming". José Manuel Gamboa, flamencologist He is currently one of the most talented guitarists. After cutting his teeth in flamenco tablaos, especially in the Corral de la Morería, he began to stand out in the accompaniment of singing and dancing, disciplines in which he worked for artists like Gabriel Moreno, Lola Greco, El Güito, Faíco, Ramírez and Antonio Canales. El Viejín has also become renowned for composing the music for the staging of Antonio Canales' most successful choreographies, and for the documentary on female dancing, Flamenco Women, that was made by Mike Figgis. His skill has allowed him to work with other great figures of the Spanish guitar. Thus, Paco de Lucía called him up to substitute Juan Manuel Cañizares in his sextet during its tour in 1998. 1999 José Jiménez Abadía, El Viejín, lives in the Madrid district of Caño Roto, a surprising gipsy community where several guitarists have their homes (Felipe Maya and his son Jerónimo, El Entri and his brother Ramón Jiménez, etc.). He learned how to play the guitar for the first time at the age of three. He is the son of the great dancer El Toupé and his relationship with Flamenco dance doesn't finish there. El Viejín is one of the artists responsible for the evolution of music in modern Flamenco dance shows. He has collaborated with both Joaquín Cortés and Antonio Channels. British film director Mike Figgis ( "Leaving the Vegas,""One Night Stand") already knew this when he commissioned El Viejín to be the musical director of the outstanding documentary "Flamenco Women," shot in the Madrid dance academies, which focused on the learning of this fascinating art form. Thanks to his work for dance shows the reputation of The Viejín grew and grew. He received critical acclaim for his contribution to the Nuevos Medios compilations "Los Jóvenes Flamencos" ( "A mi hijo Jonatan," in volume III, and "Amigos," together with Ramón Jimenez in volume IV) and everything led to being recruited by the great Paco de Lucía as second guitarist: the dream of any guitar player was thus fulfilled. Algo Que Decir (Something That Say) is the first CD by El Viejín and has recorded it with great care and dedication. It is an album with a warm sound where El Viejín shows his prodigious and passionate technique. He has illustrious collaborators: Paco de Lucía, who accompanied him in the title "A los niños que sufren," also present is the young singer Montse Cortés, and, since dancers were mentioned earlier, nothing less that Antonio Channels and Juan Ramirez who contribute their masterful heel tapping. Guitarists Ramón Jiménez and Juan Carmona produced the album. Artists on the Album Singing: Montse Cortés Flamenco guitar: Paco de Lucía, El Viejín Electric bass: Carlos Bena Contrabass: Javier Colina Percussion: Chaboli, Juan Carmona, Ramón Jiménez Palmas: Juan de Juan, Guadiana , Paquete, Antonio Canales, Ramón el Portugués , Luki Losada (1), Ramón Jiménez (1) Arrangements: El Viejín Dancing: Antonio Canales, Juan Ramírez Cajon: Ramón Porrina, Luki Losada Chekere: Chaboli Violin: Bernardo Parrilla Cello: José Luis Ruiz Chekere: Chaboli --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cool hm ?
