RE: Flamenco songs with electric gui... (in reply to Escribano)

Personally I would rather listen to a rock guitarists interpretation of Spanish music, like Brian May or Slash playing Spanish guitar than a guitarist like Manolo Sanlucar trying to play rock guitar. The Spanish solo in Queens "innuendo" is pretty cool I think. Even though the rock players never get the flamenco technique, they do get some of the Spanish sound. Flamenco players never really capture that rock sound though. It always sounds to me like the guitarist is trying too hard to be something else.... This is going to sound a bit harsh but Spanish rock bands hardly ever come close to their American or English counterparts. I think its partly the Spanish language but also the cultural differences too between northern Europeans and mediteranean people. I mean grunge rock, the beach boys and Motown could never have originated in Andalucia and there have been no Spanish rock bands that compare to Queen, Pink floyd, ACDC, Dire Straits, Van Halen etc. in terms of popularity or productivity. Not to say that Greta y los garbos, Oreja de van Gogh, David Bisbal etc are not popular with Spanish or latin audiences, but its not the same. For me the flamenco is what the Spanish do better than anyone else and its really the unique voice of Southern Spain. I much prefer to listen Raimundo Amador playing flamenco then blues.
