I recently stumbled onto this. It's very direct and in your face, and full of feeling, and as such it reminded me of Miguel, minus the blazing technique:
My three favorite modern guys at the moment are chicuelo, nino josele and Chuscales.
But guys like Dieguito and Pedro Bacan and Nino Miguel always remind me about what Flamenco is. Without guys like that to keep it grounded we'd have a world of Jose Manuel Leones. Don't get me wrong...I love Jose Manuel Leon but these guys play straight in your face flamenco.
Pedro Bacan's cd Alurican and his live with the pinini clan are great albums.
Bacan with El Lebrijano.
Wow, not one mention of Paco de Lucia. Nothing wrong with that but he is usually thrown in most people's list.
Wow, how sad. Being a newbie here, new to the world of flamenco, I'm still going through material here on the forum, learning who the people are- who the stars are, and I was blown away by him when I saw his early playing- then horribly saddened to see him today... or, I assume today- is he still alive? Left me with a sense of horrible sorrow for him all day... just felt like a cloud passed over me and stayed. I would like to know more of him. Wes
