cante and toque together

does anyone here on this board practice cante and toque together for flamecno, y'know kinda like a any other type of muscians.

i understand cante is difficult but is it really necessary to cut the two from each other?
is there a reason for such specialisation in the flamenco world, ie social hierarchy, etc.
or has it always been like this.

RE: cante and toque together (in reply to henrym3483)

i do a lot of singing with my stereo. (when im sure nobodys listening!!

)
sometimes i play a-long with my guitar, sometimes i sing along. when i can´t sing a phrase
i stop and repeat it untill i have the basic idea how it goes. I also do palmas trying to place it rythmicaly while singing or huming.

I do it cause i want to be a better guitarist. and i want to improve my feeling of the compas

The mystarie to me is how people can start to clapp the compas in the middle of a martinete phrase!?! It must mean that they hear the rythm inside that ayyayyaaay...and i can´t

thats why i sing to the stereo..silly huh

Oh, well not me, because i cant sing

, well not in front of people anyway, but i am sure theres pple out there who do it, there is a guy in Melbourne named Manolo who about 15 years ago back was one of the top guitarist in Australia, from what i hear he mostly sings now but he has had to accompany himself on a few ocassions, i imagine that you can only do 1 at the time really good because both arts demand so much concentration.

I imagine that when he did accompany himself it would have to be very very minimalistic, chords and very simple falsetas if.

Camerón could sing and accompany himself. I have seen a few guitarists here in Spain who accompany themselves, Antonio Campos, El Pollito to name two and I am sure there are more.

It's probably easier for some palos than others.

I wonder if a cantaor who accompanies himself complains about the guitarist cutting in on the note.

I'd be more intrigued by the prospect of dancers accompanying themselves

Dancing and accompanying? That sounds like some Mexican guy with a hat, where he sings, dances and plays all at the same time.

Try some Enrique Iglesias for some great cante.
