RE: Paco Cepero accompaniment? (in reply to athrane77)
He was at his best with Turronero: some fantastic bulerías. The record with Santiago is a tour de force of Paco, because Santiago was in poor health: it is a studio cut and paste job, rather like Camaron´s Potro y Miel: In real life, Santiago was much better, but preferred to sing in the street

I love Turronero, he was the singer that opened my ears to Cante. I'll have to search for this Cepero and Turronero album, sounds like a match made in heaven. I've only seen one youtube vid of that......

Turronero recorded more than one album with Cepero. About a year ago, I remember listening to 2 or 3 of those recordings on youtube. Really great, top notch. However, I just looked on youtube and I can't find them. I think they were removed, unfortunately.
But you can still find some stuff. Here you go, Turronero al cante y Cepero a la guitarra:
Keep clicking on the sugestions on the right and you'll find more.

His recordings with Borrico and Pansequito are more important, IMO. I love that bulería "Huele a Romero" but you can't compare the levels of singing. He's also on both Rancapino recordings. As long as you're at it, buy the seminal recording "Canta Jerez" where he teams up with Paco de Antequera (usually one at a time) to accompany Terremoto (padre), Manuel Sordera, Romerito, Diamante Negro and El Sernita. There are many more recordings of his accompaniment.

Maybe I was dreaming but recall hearing him play a lot for Perla de Cadiz....maybe it was a mix of guitarists? In the cepero elevator music thread, someone linked and purchased what I consider some of his best work, the Festival Flamenco Gitano 1 from 1969 he plays for Camaron Lebrijano Maria Vargas and himself por rumba.
I also have a cool one of Maria Vargas where it is him and Manolo sanlucar duel guitar work.
Even better is to check him out in Rito y geografia...he accompanies the programs about Camaron and Sordera, and is in the juerga with Camaron, Turronero and Paco de lucia, he plays Tientos and bulerias for Turronero, fandango, taranta, tango, and buleria for Camaron.

Hola Munin
Thanks to your post, I put on Morongo today. I had to take it off, porque me dolía el cante. Santiago died soon afterwards and on this disc his singing is not good.
Some years ago, I made a bootleg tape of him in a live show in La Cava (a small bar in Cádiz), where the audience consisted of his family and the family of Ángel Pastor, which is related by marriage.
I gave this recording to David Palomar, for study, and he never returned it. The next time I see him, I shall ask him if the tape has sufficient quality to take it to a studio, clean it up and pass it to CD. If so, I shall do it, for the family at least, and shall inform you.

His ailing health on Morrongo is obvious but I think there is something elegiac about it and Paco is as razor sharp as always. And given that he hardly recorded anything...I think it's an important work.

Probably the El Flamenco Vive CD. It includes several different recordings; I think Cepero plays on some singles released in the early 1960s (might have been among Cepero's first recordings). There's another guitarist there with Cepero (don't remember now if they always accompany her together) named Eugenio Salas.

Totally agree, Munin. Even in ailing health, Santiago Donday has a special edge that, for lack of a better term, sounds "authentic" (too many cigarettes, too much manzanilla). And Paco Cepero is in as good form as ever. He has always been my favorite accompanist. I treasure my copy of "Morrongo."
Cheers,
Bill

Eugenio was El Niño de los Rizos, the most important tocaor of his day in Cádiz. PDL came to learn the toque tradicional de Cádiz from Eugenio, made friends and returned often to see him. Eugenio was taken to America by Caracól as second guitar to Melchor. He died a couple of years ago. His brother, Nicolas, has the best puesto de especias in the Market.
