Hi Phil,
Did you see the Cuadro Flamenco afterwards?
Nice stuff...I really liked the Siguiriyas and Alegrias.
Excellent dancer, the singing was good and the guitarists adventurous enough to really "stretch" my ear with some nice chords and syncopation, but not leave me stranded and alienated!
Enjoyed it very much.
(I seem to recognise some faces here and there from "Cantera Flamenca").
One thing's for sure.
They have a pretty lively Flamenco scene down there!

Buenas Noches

Ron

That was Jose Ignacio Franco (not to be confused with Francisco). It was nice to see that Paco selected a couple of up-and-coming Jerez guitarists to accompany him. I'm sure both of those guys were thrilled. What really surprised me was Manuel Orta performing. He's one of my wife's favorite singers. (I'm talking about my wife who doesn't like cante jondo flamenco). Orta is a modern Sevillanas singer who's very popular with the ladies. His songs tend to be about respect for one's parents, mom, apple pie, wife abuse, and that type of thing. I've seen him live before. He's a very entertaining and dynamic performer who knows how to work an audience, but not what I would call Flamenco. But, as you could see, the crowd loved him.

Did anybody see El Carbonero accompanying a singer por Solea in one of the peñas after Paco Cepero's show ended? This festival has offered a wide variety of Flamenco, from the very traditional to the avant guarde and even Sevillanas. I hope that most of you have had a opportunity to see at least part of it. Remember, tomorrow Moraito plays at 2130 Spanish time.

I saw it and was very please. I think Paco's "De Pura Cepa" CD is my favorite at the moment.
