OK you lot....I'm wanting my pound of flesh....... Which albums/CD's should I get? I've got some Amigo, Haddad, Riqueni, Cortes, Pena ,Sabicas,Lucia ,Marlow ( wish I could grow my hair again...oh how my follicle challenge really pisses me off...amazing guitarist you are sir and no offence meant its just I used to have hair too! ),Sanlucar.....but no Tomatito.!! What shall I get? And whilst I'm asking ,why am I so ****e? I play most days but the reject button seems to be permanently pressed ,my kids hate me and my wife has grown a beard and is now called Bob! So back to the important stuff,which Tomatito CD's? Wth love and best wishes to all...pink x
"Aguadulce" was the first flamenco CD I ever bought and so has some personal significance. That said, I hear things in that CD that I (still) don't hear in his earlier CDs, and so think it's a little underrated. I particularly like the Solea por Bulerias and all three of the Bulerias on that one. (If those are your preferred palos, then perhaps that's a good way to choose).
"Rosas del Amor" was my second album of his, and that's a great album, as well.
Out of the 4 albums that I have I like Aguadulce and Rosas del Amor very much. Barrio Negro and Paso de los Castanos a little less. He's my favorite player at the moment.
Many thanks for the suggestions so far...think the first port of call should be his first album. If I don't spend too much at the outset I should have enough money left to buy my wife a razor too. Excellent!! Your time and help is most appreciated
My wife and grandkids disappear upstairs when I start to practise, can't think why. I love that Tomatito vid withe the tarp providing the palmas, excellent. I can't find enough flamenco, everything new and yet nothing is new if you know what I mean
