Miguel Angel Cortes - Encuentro

I've been thinking of purchasing La Guitarra Flamenca de Miguel Angel Cortes, does anyone here currently own it?

And if so is it a recommended purchase?

I have the Moraito (awesome) and Nunez (didn't like it), since this is an expensive purchase I'd appreciate any advice.

Thanks AlVal.

The marking compas bit seems interesting, I prefer these kind of rythm bits rather than just falsetas. I wish Moraito had done some more Jerez marking compas bits on his videos

Where did you get it from? Most encuentro dealers don't have it in stock.
The only place I find is La Sonanta and that is very expensive for me in USA.

In the US, Flamenco Connection may have it.

hi bule_b

i bought mine from El Flamenco Vive
a Madrid store...purchased online
i live in Australia so whatever i order is pricey but the shipping seemed lower than other things i get from spain...
plus they threw in a t shirt to lessen the blow..so a nice surprise when the order came..
responded quickly with emails and physically post a magazine/newsletter quarterly keeping me updated with new releases...
not sure if they have the video in stock but found this store really easy to deal with

*** just checked and is in stock at 74 euro's...i think the total order for me was $102 AU

It's weird to see Miguel Cortes having a video and all that now. I took a summer group class with him back in '03 and he taught us Panaderos Flamencos and a tango. He seemed very mellow and mild-mannered. His playing was precise. The most fun was when we went to Marchena to see him and Arcangel. That was a magical performance. I still love Arcangel...

Thanks for the replies.

I will look around to see if I can buy a used one as the shipping costs from Europe (30 Euro) make this way too expensive for me.

I emailed MAC and he actually replied, told me he plays his mid-1990's Pedro de Miguel on that video. Amazing sounding guitar!!
