"RITO Y GEOGRAFÍA DEL TOQUE" (6 video tapes)
A COLLECTION OF VIDEOS ON FLAMENCO GUITAR,
Presented by Norberto Torres Cortés.
Translation by Pierre Lefranc.
The year 2000 opens with an event for years undreamt-of by guitar players, aficionados, and music lovers in general : the edition in the form of videos of most of the archives of Spanish Television (Televisión Española) concerning flamenco guitar. They range from the year 1964 with Niño Ricardo, Ricardo Modrego, and a then 16-year old Paco de Lucía, to Tomatito at his most gypsy in the 1979 record La Leyenda del Tiempo, and they include in between Serranito, Manolo Sanlucar, Enrique de Melchor, Pepe Habichuela, Diego Carrasco, Paco Cepero, Andrés Batista, Pedro Bacán, Paco de Lucía and Camarón in 1972, together with those classically-oriented : Melchor de Marchena, Diego del Gastor, Manuel Morao, Pedro Peña, Felix de Utrera, Manolo el Sevillano, and… Sabicas « live » in one of the last concerts he gave. Thus a total of 16 years of flamenco guitar are made available visually. The period 1964-1979 was an extraordinary one for flamenco, owing to the coexistence of tradition and a rising new generation, then innovative, now classical, which was establishing the foundations of today’s toque (style of playing). If we add to this the interviews and commentaries made in those days, mainly by José María Velázquez and Fernando Quiñones, we can evaluate the undreamt-of magnitude of what is being offered to us by Alga Editores. Although, unavoidably, most of the images are in black and white, and the sound is of a less high quality than it would be today, one can submit that this is an added merit : it brings us in contact with the authenticity of a period in which the detestable « play-back » was not yet a standard technique.
"RITO Y GEOGRAFÍA DEL TOQUE" (VIDEO N° 1.)
NIÑO RICARDO, PACO DE LUCÍA : Poema de la Guitarra, from the programme FLAMENCO, Antología de Cante y Baile andaluces ; includes « Sevilla es mi tierra » (soleá) by Manuel Serrapi Sánchez « Niño Ricardo » (Sevilla, 1904-72) ; guajira flamenca by Paco de Lucía and Ricardo Modrego ; and views of Paco de Lucía practicing in a barber’s shop.
PACO DE LUCÍA : from the series Rito y Geografía del Cante ; includes an interview of Francisco Sánchez Gómez « Paco de Lucía » (born Algeciras, 1947), and shows him in tarantas, bulerías, and accompanying his brother Pepe de Lucía ; Camarón playing bulerías ; Paco practicing ; Ramón de Algeciras and Paco de Lucía fine-tuning a bulería falseta (variation), playing soleares, and rumbas with Carlos Rebato as a second guitar.
PEPE MARTÍNEZ : interview of José Martínez León « Pepe Martínez » (Sevilla, 1923-84), then seen playing a granaina, interpreting the choros « Xodó da Bahiana » by the Brasilian composer Dilermando Reis, giving guitar classes, and in colombianas, a zapateado, and guajiras in D major with the sixth string in D.
Comments : A moving recording of Niño Ricardo in soleares, and the earliest images of Paco de Lucía, at sixteen, already preparing his future records with Ricardo Modrego, with a stunning guajira in which one can already find one of the variations of his famous « Guajira de Lucía ». Also, from the Flamenco programme of Spanish Television, images shot in 1964 under the guidance of Antonio Sánchez Pecino, the father of Paco de Lucía. It may be owing to this that Paco is particularly prominent in the series (we even see him dressed up as a barber in a barber’s shop, practicing tarantos), and we believe that his guitar can also be heard in the video’s opening, in nothing less than Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D flat (BMW 565).
The programme dedicated to Paco de Lucía comes from the series Rito y Geografía del Cante, shot between 1971 and 1973, and it can be dated 1972. We hear him in taranta variations found in his records Fantasía (1969), La Fabulosa Guitarra de Paco de Lucía (1967), a forerunner of Fuente y Caudal (1973), and other pieces then still unpublished ; he also plays bulería variations from « El Tempul », « Plazuela », and « Punta del Faro », and accompanies Pepe de Lucía in the grip of duende (flamenco exaltation) ; we see him at home in pyjamas, in a practising session with Camarón who briefly plays bulerías, working alone on the taranta of « Fuente y Caudal », and fine-tuning with his brother Ramón a bulería variation found in one of the early records of Camarón. The series continues with the soleares « Cuando canta el gallo » and the zapateado from the record El Duende de Paco de Lucía, and it ends with a rumba half-way between the « Rumba Improvisada » from the 1971 record Recital and « Entre Dos Aguas » from Fuente y Caudal (1973) which belies the legend of this famous piece having been improvised and shows that all that Paco de Lucía recorded was the outcome of earlier maturations.
Another pleasant surprise in this video n° 1 is the possibility of listening to Pepe Martínez, a great concert-oriented flamenco guitar as was Ramón Montoya, and now unjustly neglected. The interviews enable us to evaluate the impact of Pepe Martínez in London and the eminent role that he played in spreading the knowledge of flamenco in Great Britain. All this is a delight for the lovers of the classical toque, and the colombiana and the guajira in D major bring a particular homage to Sabicas.

"RITO Y GEOGRAFÍA DEL TOQUE" (VIDEO N° 2.)
MELCHOR DE MARCHENA : from the series Rito y Geografía del Cante ; Melchor Jiménez Torres « Melchor de Marchena » (Marchena, 1907 - Madrid, 1980) is shown in his family in Marchena, playing seguiriyas, being interviewed, accompanying Manolo Caracol and Beni de Cádiz in fandangos, playing tanguillos de Cádiz ; his son Enrique plays soleares and Melchor concludes them with a variation of his own.
ENRIQUE DE MELCHOR : from the programme Flamenco, in colour, presented by Fernando Quiñones. Enrique Jiménez Ramírez « Enrique de Melchor » (born Marchena 1950) with Luis (bass), Pedro (flute), Josele (flamenco guitar), Martín (bongos), in columbianas, in an interview, in bulerias in the tonality of tarantos, and in rondeñas. From another and earlier programme, also presented by Fernando Quiñones, we hear José Cobos and Paco Heredia (guitars) ; then follow an interview, a serrana, and rondeñas with the same Cobos and Heredia.
Comments : these are historic and moving images of the toque and speech of Melchor de Marchena, one of the greatest among accompanying guitar-players, and the one that La Niña de Los Peines, Manolo Caracol, Antonio Mairena, etc… preferred, to name only a few of those he accompanied. The video concludes with two programmes devoted to his son Enrique de Melchor : they can be dated 1974 and 1977 (for the one in colour) ; they belong to the launching of Enrique’s concert career, and we see him interpret various pieces of his first record as a soloist, La guitarra flamenca de Enrique de Melchor (1977).

"RITO Y GEOGRAFÍA DEL TOQUE" (VIDEO N° 3.)
PACO CEPERO : presented by Fernando Quiñones, Francisco López Cepero García « Paco Cepero » (born Jerez 1932) plays « Gaditana » (a jaleo) with La Polilla de Madrid, Lolita Baena and Carmen Heredia (palmas), is interviewed, then plays tarantas and tarantos, tientos and tangos, a farruca, « Amuletto » (a rumba), and bulerías.
DIEGO CARRASCO : from the programme Flamenco, in colour, presented by Fernando Quiñones, Diego Carrasco Fernández « Diego Carrasco el Tate » (born Jerez 1954), is accompanied by Luis (acoustic ovation guitar), Miguel Angel (bass), Pedro (flute), Tito and Rafa (flamenco guitars), and Pedro (bongos) ; they interpret « Luz de Farola » (bulerías) ; he is interviewed, and sings and plays bulerías, including « bulerías del 7 ».
ANDRÉS BATISTA : he is presented by F. Quiñones, who interviews Paco Vallecillo, then Andrés Batista (born Barcelona 1937) on flamenco in Catalonia ; then Andrés Batista plays granainas, guajiras, bulerías, danza mora, fandangos, and a zapateado.
Comments : together with the launching of Enrique de Melchor, we witness Paco Cepero’s career as a soloist, and hear him perform various pieces found in his first and only record as a soloist, Amuleto (1977). Also, the unquiet tocaor and singer Diego Carrasco already proposes, in these late 70’s, a reinterpretation of the bulerías of his native Santiago district, with influences from Chick Corea’s group « Return to Forever » and a markedly oriental colouring which makes us think of the present group Radio Tarifa, and even of the theme « Reino de Silia » by Vicente Amigo in the estribillos (refrains) of the « bulería del 7 » which served as introduction theme for the programme Flamenco presented by F. Quiñones.
The gypsy guitar-player from Catalonia describes the hot bed of flamenco experimentation that was the Catalonia of the 70’s (which explains the present fertility of Catalonian flamenco) and performs six pieces of a classical turn in a modern technique.

"RITO Y GEOGRAFÍA DEL TOQUE" (VIDEO N° 4.)
PEPE HABICHUELA : introduced by F. Quiñones, José Antonio Carmona Carmona « Pepe Habichuela » (born Granada 1944) performs soleares, is interviewed, plays alegrías in E major, taranto, seguiriya, tangos with Carlos Carmona « Habichuela » and Benjamín Santiago (guitar players). From Flamenco (in colour), we are given bulerías with Juan Habichuela « hijo » (guitar), jaleo in the tonality of a minera with Juan Habichuela « hijo » (guitar), Guadiana, Chocolatillo, and Angel (palmas).
VICTOR MONGE « SERRANITO » : introduced by F. Quiñones, Victor Monge Serrano « Serranito » (born Madrid 1942) is heard in a taranta, soleares, an interview, in « Popular Themes » and a zapateado with Alejandro Winia and Manolo Sison (guitar players).
Comments : we are first given a black-and-white Pepe Habichuela at the outset of his career as a soloist at the beginning of the 70’s, with toques still influenced by his brother Juan, Sabicas, and Paco de Lucía, though his special mark already emerges (particularly in soleares) ; then the same Pepe Habichuela in colour, at the end of the 70’s, with his personality now better defined and matured, is heard in toques from his first record A Mandelí (1983) and of the record Despegando which he made in 1977 with Enrique Morente. The second guitar is that of his nephew, then known as Juan Habichuela « hijo », who later became Juan Carmona « El Camborio », and is today the established leader of the Ketama group.
The video ends with fascinating images of the astonishing Serranito, « a guitar-player for guitar-players », in full possession of his virtuosity : tarantas and soleares played solo, « Popular Themes » which are nothing else than the Tarara on a tiento rhythm and in E minor, and his famous zapateado for three guitars, « Punta y Tacón ».

"RITO Y GEOGRAFÍA DEL TOQUE" (VIDEO N° 5.)
DIEGO DEL GASTOR : from the series Rito y Geografía del Cante, Diego Flores Amaya « Diego del Gastor » (Arriate, Málaga, 1908) - Morón de La Frontera, Sevilla, 1973) is heard in alegrías, an interview, seguiriyas ; he accompanies por bulería a series of alboreás sung by Joselero de Morón, and plays soleares.
TOMATITO : from the programme Flamenco in colour, presented by F. Quiñones, José Fernández Torres « Tomatito » (born Almería 1958), together with Jorge Pardo (flute), Carlos Benavent (bass), Juan Habichuela « hijo », Rubén Dantas (percussions), Romerito de Algeciras, Guadiana, José Soto « Sordera », Tino de Madrid (palmas), are heard in bulerías, an interview, in bulerías in the tonality of a taranto, and in tangos.
MISCELLANY N°1, WITH MANUEL MORAO, PEDRO BACÁN, PACO DE LUCÍA, MANOLO SANLÚCAR : interviews of Rafael del Aguila (Jerez, 1900-76) ; Manuel Moreno Jiménez « Manuel Morao » (Jerez 1929) plays soleares ; Pedro Peña Fernández « Pedro Bacán » (Lebrija, 1939-1997) plays tarantas ; Paco de Lucía plays bulerías ; the cantaor Juan Peña « El Lebrijano » is interviewed ; Manuel Muñoz Alcón « Manolo Sanlúcar » (born Sanlúcar de Barrameda, 1945) plays seguiriyas.
Comments : again moving images of the legendary Diego del Gastor shortly before his death, taking a walk in Morón, in a gathering with friends, talking about the toque, interpreting alegrías, seguiriyas, and soleares solo, and accompanying his cousin Joselero in bulerías in masterly fashion and with a duende worthy of his legend. El Tomatito, emerging from his recent recording of La leyenda del tiempo (1979) with Camarón, interprets various rhythmic pieces with the intensely gypsy expression which sets him apart from all others, accompanied by a first version of the Paco de Lucía sextet, Juan Carmona the second guitar of the Ketama group, and the palmas of the no less famous celebrities of today’s Guadiana, José Soto « Sorderita » (then « Sotito de Jerez ») and Tino. Then follow an interview of Rafael del Aguila, the disciple of Javier Molina and master of the current generation of Jerez guitar-players ; Manuel Morao in one of the earliest expressions of that unmistakable Jerez toque ; a youthful Pedro Bacán interpreting with great virtuosity one of his earliest tarantas ; Paco de Lucía in bulerías accompanied by Camaron’s knuckles in a flamenco gathering ; Turronero and Paco Cepero ; Juan Peña « el Lebrijano », then a youthful upholder of the classical flamenco tradition, expressing his opinion on the toque of the early 70’s ; Manolo Sanlúcar playing por seguiriya his « Elegia al Niño Ricardo », the master who had just died when this recording was made in 1972 (Sanlúcar recorded this piece that same year in vol. 2 of his Mundo y Formas de la Guitarra Flamenca). Those documents form a superb miscellany which illustrates the coexistence of the traditional toque and the renewal then in its early stages.

"RITO Y GEOGRAFÍA DEL TOQUE" (VIDEO N° 6.)
MISCELLANY N° 2 WITH MANUEL MORAO, MELCHOR DE MARCHENA, PEDRO PEÑA, PACO DE LUCÍA, DIEGO DEL GASTOR : from the series Rito y Geografía del Cante, with Manuel Morao in seguiriyas, Melchor de Marchena in tarantos, an interview of Pedro Peña who sings and plays soleares, Paco de Lucía in rondeñas, and Diego del Gastor in bulerías.
MISCELLANY N° 3 WITH FELIX DE UTRERA, CONDE HERMANOS, MANUEL MORAO, MANOLO SEVILLANO : from FLAMENCO, Antología de Cante y Baile andaluces, Felix de Utrera is heard in tientos ; comments on the making of guitars in the workshop of the brothers Conde ; Manuel Morao plays seguiriyas ; El Calderas de Salamanca (song) and Manolo Sevillano (guitar) are heard in peteneras, and Juan Cantero (song), Matilde España (dance) and Manolo Sevillano (guitar) in tangos.
SABICAS : a performance in homage to Sabicas, on the occasion of his demise in 1990, with views of his funeral and of Pamplona ; Sabicas in alegrías in A minor and in « Temas del Pueblo », la Niña de la Puebla, Pepe Montoya « Montoyita », and Laura Toledo evoke Sabicas who plays « La Comparsita » and a granaina.
Comments : the Miscellany which opens this video completes that of the previous one by illustrating several toques by traditionalists and solos by the current renovators, with some curious shots of the guitar-player-cum-singer Pedro Peña Fernández « Pedro Peña » (Lebrija, 1939), father of the piano-player Dorantes, brother of the singer Juan Peña « El Lebrijano », and cousin of Pedro Bacán ; Pedro Peña achieves the feat of singing and accompanying himself in soleares, with his mother La Perrata embroidering on the rhythm with her knuckles. We also see Paco de Lucía performing his famous rondeña « Doblan Campanas » from the record El Duende (1972) ; he concludes it here with the ending of his earlier rondeña recorded in La Fabulosa Guitarra (1967) and revealingly includes allusions to the rondeña « Cueva del Gato » which he recorded four or five years later in Almoraima (1976) : one more proof that maturity came to Paco de Lucía before he made records.
The last miscellany shows us the « official » guitar-player of Hispavox, Felix García Vizcaíno « Felix de Utrera » (born in the Canaries 1929), playing tientos a la Niño Ricardo ; it takes us on a visit to the workshop of the Madrid guitar-makers Hermanos Conde, against the musical background of a zorongo played by Ricardo Modrego ; Manuel Morao at his most sublime in seguiriyas ; the toque of Manuel Antilla León « Manolo el Sevillano » (Marchena 1910, Madrid 1988), acompanying in peteneras Rafael Salazar Motos « Calderas de Salamanca », and Juan Cantero in tangos extremeños danced by Matilde España.
The series could not end better than by rendering homage to Agustín Castellón Campos « Sabicas » (Pamplona 1912 - New York18 April 1990) one of the greatest guitar-players of all times, with a report on his native town and house, his multitudinous and grief-stricken funeral, an evocation of his friends and familiars like la Niña de la Puebla, Montoyita and Laura Toledo, and various extracts from one of the last concerts Sabicas gave, with his famous alegrías in A major which incline towards the jota, « Temas del Pueblo », the popular tune « Los Cuatro Muleros » as arranged by the master, the most famous Río de la Plata tango by M. Rodríguez « La Comparsita », which the gypsy from Pamplona included in 1969 in his record Tres guitarras tiene Sabicas, and a tremendously modern granaina.
