A friend of mine is interested in fl...

Recently a friend of mine, who plays electric guitar, was intrigued when I was playing flamenco for the first for him. He asked me if I could lend him so flamenco cd, and I said yes

So what you? What album(s) would you give to someone who doesnt know much about flamenco?

Something nuevo, just to listen. Vicente Amigo etc. Then when he'll start to play, some simple falsteas of Paco Pena and Juan Martin...

I would go with something that has more of a modern feel to it, like Gerardo Nunez. Easier on an unaccustomed ear than something which is "hard core" flamenco (not the Nunez is not hard core flamenco, he does mix-in a lot of Jazzy motives though)

Pepe Habichuela "Habichuela En Rama" is sublime. Did it for me
