ORIGINAL: jof There are tons of that on youtube. even if I don't know what you mean with "modern". Such an idiotic term
Well sorry to upset you I am not used to being in the company of such an intellectual giant. Ok, how about 'post late seventies', will that do?
It's a general term and most non-idiots here would understand exactly what I mean. There are many videos around of old school (is that OK?) flamenco with just cante and guitar but when we get to the modern era its usual to have a lot of other instrumentation as well, plus the other things I mentioned.
If there are 'tons' of videos like this on youtube please give a few examples (not stuff recorded on people's phones miles away from the stage with terrible sound, but actual professional videos).
the el sol, la sal el son stuff is nice too but you don't want them because there are palmeros? would you consider jose merce as a modern cantaor? or poveda? is morao modern or old-school? Sorry I can't do anything with that.

Thanks, all that looks good! I have several Jose Merce albums, including one with Moraito.
Yes, I consider Moraito was a modern guitarist. When I say 'Modern', with respect to guitar, (I wasn't talking about cantaors) I really mean post PDL era - wider harmonic vocabulary and more syncopation in the rhythm etc
Palmeros are of course fine, cajon is OK too, its just big rhythm sections and smooth arrangements that don't do it for me.
when we get to the modern era its usual to have a lot of other instrumentation as well, plus the other things I mentioned.
The problem is that its what is selling. When you go to a small flamenco concert here in Andalucia, you mostly find older men singing cante jondo and not reaching the high notes or young musicians singing lelele por tangos with a lot of arrangements, breaks, maybe some strings with scores and zzzzzz. At least that was my experience for a while and then i stopped going out to concerts.
alive i like agujetas family , moneo ,carpio, antonio reyes ,and many other but not at all poveda not duquende and cigala
