RE: Los Moneo (in reply to henrym3483)

Here’s another with Manuel Parrilla and others that takes a bit of hunting to find. It’s in the peña Los Cernícalos, and it looks like it was recorded in the late 90s or early 2000s.

Excellent falseta at 1:30 that I haven’t heard from anyone else. After coming across this video by accident, I was compelled to learn the falseta, and now I play it all the time. It’s in E, so it’s a good one to know.

Parrilla had so many great falsetas. As far as I’m concerned, he was among the absolute best, along with Paco and Vicente and Gerardo and all the rest, but for very different reasons.

Curiously, for such a great tocaor, Parilla made a solo record, though I don´t think it sold a lot. . Lots of interesting falsetas.

It was good fidelity and playing. However I was already familiar with just about all the material from his excellent accompaniments of Paquera and big etc.

Parilla made a solo record,

It’s Parrilla, with double r (your Spanish is atrocious). He made two solo recordings, not one, and he sounds like a fish out of water on both. They showcase some of his falsetas, but there are dozens more on his accompaniment recordings, live and studio, where they sound more natural. Two examples are that live recording with Terremoto (CD released by Planet Records) and the studio recordings he did with Paquera and nephew Manolito Parrilla on second guitar (“Cubiletero” is one of the tracks and the title of my copy of that “album”). There are more on non-commercial live recordings with Manuel Agujetas, Diego Rubichi (soleá in F sharp!) and others, and still more on those two videos with Manuel Agujetas and others on Rito y Geografía. Not to mention all those Christmas albums he recorded for Caja de San Fernando (every year for a stretch). Insofar as creativity and prolific composition, he was right up there with Niño Ricardo, and his music was 100% Spanish. You can hear pasodobles and pasacalles in his falsetas.
