Welcome I listen to Paco de Lucia, Tomatito, Gerardo Nuñez and Moraito mostly as of late, but it is allways sort of changing with the direction of my own playing and what I want to play! Probably my favourite guitarist is El Nino Miguel though. I also like Diego de Moron, it is very primitive and raw flamenco. I also really like our forums own Grisha and Ricardo alot, both are really great guitarists and musicians. Sabicas is also incredible, and I think Sabicas was able to translate music into the ears of people in a very special way. Then we also have alot great singers in flamenco Camaron de la isla and Diego el Cigala are probably my favourites but since I saw Duquende live I can not shake him of me either. Sometimes I listen to Joselero, Fernanda de Utrera and things if I am in the mood. Diego del Gastor is great accompanying them! My favourite song is probably la leyenda del tiempo by Camaron, or maybe one of his soleares or fandangos. My favourite guitar piece in flamenco must be Montiño or La Barrosa by Paco de Lucia or Siempre es tarde by Gerardo Núñez - Also Bronce Gitano by Sabicas. My favourite guitar is my Anders Eliasson guitar, he makes very good instruments, and in my guitar I found that it had some pain and lament, wich suits me perfectly. The guitar cries with me, and it has become my companion and we heal eachothers pain. Now I allways am with the guitar and my affection for it is so great that I would rather lose my house than my guitar. Also I prefer Flamenco blanca guitars, even for playing classical music. I hope you have a nice time on the forum!

Just bought an album 12 years old, 2000 bienal. It features Chano Lobato, Jose Menese, Luis el Zambo, Chocolate, Fernando de la Morena. Great singing and playing, saddly, several of the artists are already gone from the world. This live recording, although short (only 2 cantes each singer) marks the end of an era I feel. I highly recommend a study of the Rito y Geografia extensive documentary on cante. I much prefer it to just listening to recordings, seeing the artists in there informal environments, and all material is choice. It's from 1971-73. The instrument of choice by vast majority of gutiarists in the video is the cypress model of Sobrinos de Esteso. This turns out to also be my favorite instrument, although I feel despite tons of contrary opinion, the modern Conde Hermanos does a decent job making similar intruments since the death of the orginal makers in the late 80's. Favorite solo guitarists:Paco de lucia, Gerardo Nuñez, Manolo Sanlucar (tauromagia mainly), Vicente Amigo, Tomatito, lately Antonio Rey and Jesus del Rosario.

Guitar solo: Antonio Rey, Jesus de Rosario, actually the whole cano roto school, Tomatito (took me so long to like him though) Guitar acomp: Diego del Morao, Jesus de Rosario, Pedro Sierra Singer: Montse Cortes (with Diego Morao), La Tobala (with Pedro Sierra), Guadiana Dance: the best flamenco cuadro of all times: Sara Baras, Jesus de Rosario, Guadiana, Duquende... what more do you want? The guy who played with Jesus as guitarrist at that time is also good, but im not sure what his name was.
