Makes me wonder if that's just sunshine coming in the window or if he lives next door to Fukushima nuclear power plant. I wonder about the guitar, in his video number 6 I think it looks really old, someone please tell me that isn't a Santos before I send a ninja hit squad to his house.
I think it might just be his humor. His fingermovements oh his left hand look smooth. I think he can play. But his right hand looks not good. He´s a true riddle.
I hear an Avant Garde Flamenco player doing his thing exploring the meaning and possibilities of flamenco. Breaking and bending rules on how this traditional Spanish art form should be performed, adding jazz, multi-ethnic and rock musical influences, as well as other styles Since its beginnings, flamenco has embraced and appropriated other music and dance styles, starting with Arab, gypsy, and Sephardic cultures and arriving into the modern day with jazz, rock and electronica. This guy is clearly continuing that spirit with FLAMENCO: inside/out.

Certainly shreds. I guess when he says 'flamenco guitar' he's just referring to the instrument. Maybe this guy wants to be the Derek Bailey of the 'flamenco guitar'.
Wow Derek Bailey ,,, Strange guy , I heard he locked himself in a cupboard for a long time and used to meditate ion his hands ....something like that ,,,I dont think he's with us anymore//.....
no, unfortunately he isn't, a great loss for the free jazz scene i own many of his records, this guy's playing was really from outer space. i like guitar-players that don't follow the mainstream. i saw him playing a strange gig with jack de johnette and DJ risk and it was so full of groove, also his record with a group called "the ruins". in the video posted here he plays solo and i can understand people who don't like it

I thought that was a joke, because of the people laughing. Then i read michel's comment about him being not mainstream and found this:
Sorry, but the cat in that video is still the best player and musician of everybody in this thread
