Paco Pena Flamenco Music

Hello Everybody,

I found the out of print book, Paco Pena Flamenco music and digitized it. The book, and even the individual files, is to large to upload to foro flamenco. For those of you that are interested send me a PM with your personal email and I will send you a copy. The file is in PDF format.

Regards,

Dan

Hello Everybody,

The size of the file, Paco Pena Flamenco Music is large, 14 MB, so separate files of each selection within the book have been made. For those of you that want a copy please let me know the file size limits of your server. This will save me time as I will know if I can send you the entire book or the separate files individually. The book Paco Pena Flamenco Music is the beginning of a series of out-of-print books that I plan to digitize and make available to the guitar community.

Regards,

Dan

To DarkElieDraven,

The book Toques Flamenco is still in print and readily available. In fact you can find used copies through Amazon.com for $6 - $8. My focus is on out-of-print books.

Regards,

Dan

The book Paco Pena Flamenco Music contains the following 4 selections:

Mantilla y Peina (Guajiras)
Arabesca (Zambra)
La Isla (Alegrias)
Cancion (Petenera)

The Zambras, Arabesca and Moruna are exactly the same except for their endings.
The Cancion (Petenera) has two versions, I'm not sure which version is contained within the book in question. Thank you for your interest.

This must be transcribed by Ad Rooymans in 1981, only in muscial notations, no tabs. But the quality is good, even better than Faucher's. La Isla is a variation of Alegrias de Cordoba played live in Munich .

Correct, dformell and frhout. Paco actually played these pieces for Ad’s benefit and the transcriptions are of those performances; but three of them are as near as makes no odds to the following:

Mantilla y Peina from Fabulous Flamenco/La Gitarra Flamenca:

La Isla from Flamenco Vivo:

Canción from Azahara:

The Danza Mora is a simplified version of Moruna, from Flamenco:

Hi Everybody,

Mr. Magnussen thank you for the info.! A few people have asked how much the book costs, there is no charge. Also, the book is in standard notation only. For those of you that are interested in one or two selections from the book that's not a problem, the book has also been broken down into individual files.

Regards,

Dan

Hello Everybody,

Recently it was pointed out to me, on the old school flamenco forum, that Mr. Pena's book is still in print and can purchased from the following:

http://www.bladmuziekshop.nl/paco-flamenco-music-gitaar-p-125029.html

The website is in Dutch and I don't know if they ship internationally. We're going to use the honor system here; If you make an inquiry and don't get a reply or if bladmuziek doesn't ship internationally then I'll send you a copy. If these publishers aren't going to utilize technology then we are going to move forward without them.
