THE FABULOUS SABICAS (Documentary)

I'd like to share this excellent documentary about the maestro Sabicas, one of the great pillars of Flamenco.

THE greatest, in my opinion. I'd rather listen to Sabicas than Vicente, Tomatito, and all the others that are the current rage.

In my opinion, this is one of the most important contributions ever made to the "foro."
Jose; thanks you so much.

So this is the film Estela told us about a while back. Wow! It’s every bit as good as I hoped. I can hardly wait to get the DVD.

On a related topic: a friend in Córdoba sent me a book about Sabicas published by the Ayuntamiento there (Sabicas: el coloso de la guitarra flamenca). It’s very interesting; especially the part by Mario Escudero’s son, Mario Manuel.

However, there’s some very strange glitch involved with it: when you search for it and click any link, you get the picture and listing of a different book (Córdoba en el pasado), also published by the Ayuntamiento de Córdoba. I haven’t yet found a correct listing on the Internet.

The ISBN-13 is 978-84-89409-32-3.

Fantastic video. Really amazing insight into his career and music. I also much rather listen
to Sabicas than a lot of the new players.
How many guitars does Tomatito have?? @32.50 I hope that is a shop

I think what Estrella Morente said about Sabicas' warm, encouraging treatment of her when she was seven is at the heart of this gypsy's life history. He played with heart, real duende. Thank you so much, josecarlos, for posting this. I did not know that it existed, nor did I know so much about Sabicas as a person.

Really looking forward to watching this.
Sabicas is certainly the benchmark, inspiration and fundamental expression of flamenco for anybody to follow.

Great documentary.

Now, I'm going to walk the streets and make a show out of eating broad beans. Hopefully, people will start calling me El de los habicas and the name will stick
