Paco recommendations

I was wondering if you had any Paco De Lucia recommendations. I don't have any of his albums. I'm thinking of getting Entre Dos Aguas.

What other Flamenco essential CDs do you recommend?

There is no real album called "Entre dos Aguas". Perhaps that is a compilation album with various pieces pulled from his career? The album "Fuente y Caudal" has Entre dos Aguas on it. I recommend any of his albums. To Start off with try FANTASIA FLAMENCA from 1969. He was about 21 years old.

Try to get all CDs... step by step. Dont hear Vicente and co. to early. Avoid Juan Martin. I think the Camaron CDs are good to start.

Sirroco is my personal favorite.

visit www.pacodelucia.org and click on Discography.
There you find all his albums including track list and pictures of the albums.

However i dont have any favourite album because i can find in all albums tracks which i like very much and tracks which i dont like so much.

But as the others said, try to buy them all.

However i also recommand to buy one album from other artists like tomatito , vicente Amigo , Gerardo Nunez to also cover other styles.
