Juan Breva, Silverio Franconetti, Antonio Chacon, Aurelio de Cadiz, Pepe el de la Matrona, Manuel Vallejo, Jacinto Almaden, Fosforito, Jose Menese are/were just some of the payo cantaores who enjoyed considerable success over the years. My own sense is that gitano singers, as a general rule, offer more expressively emotional performances of the various palos that lend themselves to a more emotional interpretation and delivery (Dionysian). The payo singers tend to be more focused on a certain tranquility of delivery, especially of cante andaluz palos (Apollonian) that offers often a welcome contrast to the Sturm und Drang of a long session with, say, Terremoto and Morao. Some gitano singers, like especially Rafael Romero and Jose de la Tomasa, can easily move back and forth between these two approaches. And, at their best, the two old-time payo masters, Pepe de la Matrona and Aurelio Selles (Aurelio de Cadiz), both born in the same year, are just a delight for me to listen to, especially singing gitano palos like soleares and siguiriyas--a quite different approach than, say, Agujetas or Camaron. Thank goodness we have access to so much choice.

cuando cante, no duele ,, well yes ,. but he is looking a lot in this entrevista at modern flamenco and different fusions ...
after that ,, he says that he cannot sing , bulerias , and has a lot of problems with the timing in Soleares .., and that genetically he cant sing flamenco ... so there you go ...
He likes Enrique Morente ,, he likes his voice , and his vision of flamenco ..etc
.. but he will never sing bulerias in his life ....he doesnt know how to .... genetically he cant carry the compas of bulerias ....Im sorry , i like him a lot , but you have to be 'gitano ' to sing that ....
So he has definitely nailed his colours to the flagpost ... i cant say i totally agree with him though ... i m more of the opinion that it is an Andaluz thing and being born and brought up there really helps ...so the further away you get the more it will change things .....
some people learn it almost by accident ....i used to see in the fiestas here and there little girls of 5 and 6 etc .. dancing with their families .. mothers , sisters and grandmothers .. and taking on the dance and facial expressions arm movements and the whole lot .... and small boys playing and singing rumbas and sevillanas ....not all gitanos .. but its a real big start .. even if they reject it for rock and roll later in life .. they still have what it takes to sound flamenco ...and it stays with them ...
