You could well be right. I began to have an interest in Jose del Tomate when I saw this clip on Utube.
I was struck by the relationship of the father and son. So I followed the sons clips on the tube to see how he would develop. There is nothing i saw that hinted at anything like this quality of performance.
To me it sounds like Vicente Amigo rather than even Tomatito Well, nothing is beyond the pale in flamenco.
Maybe not. I am more familiar with Amigo than with Tomatito. To me it sounds like Amigo. There is a delicacy of touch and expressiveness that seems to point to Amigo.
Checking further, the link is pasted on Jose's Facebook page and listed as an unreleased recording.
Also on his page is this clip, OT but worth a look. Apparently a cousin.

I was simply pointing out the sons' playing is indistinguishable from his dad's. This is pretty normal in this genre, Diego del Morao for all his originality sounded exactly as his Dad when he first appeared on the scene. I will admit I agree that in the Taranta example at top, he certainly is sneaking in some Vicente signature moves, in the same way Antonio Rey and some others have also been doing.
I agree with Ricardo. In the last years the very same Tomatito incorporated something of the style Vicente plays with and something from the music of Camilo. The sound of the Reyes makes him way smoother and jazzy than he was years ago
That is one lucky kid and dad must be proud of him. He can definitely play. I stumbled onto this one:
