Tomatito and Camaron Recommendations

I just got Flamenco Vivo a couple days ago and really like it. I like the recording quality, perhaps the live element makes it a little more raw and I like that it's stripped down without flutes or other weird instruments.

This is my first exposure to Tomatito and I only have one CD with Camaron (w/Paco).

Which other recordings by these two (either together or separate) are must haves?

On a related note, does any one have Reencuentro by Camaron? It's a CD and DVD set. I'm wondering if the documentary is any good.

Hi,
I was introduced to Flamenco through "La leyenda del tiempo" (hope i spelled that right). It has Camaron, Tomatito, Raimundo Amador, Rubem Dantes and they say it's a pivotal album in flamenco. I like it. This does have some wierd instruments on it such as a moog synthesiser but other tracks a more traditional
cheers,
Richard

paris 1987 with tomatito is pretty good but i think the dvd of them in malaga takes some beating.

The Paris video is the pinnacle of Camaron and Tomatito. I think it is available on youtube as well. I don't know which dvd they have from Malaga? Can you post a link.

on this website you can listen to camaron (it doesn't work with all browsers)
http://www.terra.es/personal5/camaronleyenda/camaron.htm
it has Leyenda Del Tiempo, and tracks with Camaron and Paco de Lucia, the lyrics are given as well. As far as i know none of the live material is included there.

not sure if it's infringing copyright, tho
