Yeah, I heard it already from Spotify. I like it, frankly. Sounds like more of the same rubbish he always does, which I love. I'm very easy to please.

I've already heard people call this elevator music, though.

Thanks for posting that
Looking forward to the new release
To be completely truthful I loved the Tierra album - gets more of s listen than some his others.
Just a beautiful and emotive guitar album

As I said on other thread, better than Roma, rumba just does absolutely nothing for me. Feel the same about baseball, fun to play but can't watch 1 minute of it.

I guess he's got a big mortgage and band to take care of...

Not his finest work.

Weird edit at 2:59, I guess this is a radio edit.

Weird gnomish picture that gives me the creeps, not his normal 'Pathos Shot'.

The last masterpiece by him was 'Silia y el Tempo', but his oeuvre is still stands above 95% of others.

That would be me a year or so ago during one of our discussions, Ramzi. Nothing personal, and I realize a lot of Foro members and others like him. It's not that I dislike him; he's just not at the top of my list. He just seems bland to me. I realize I am in the minority though, and don't want to ignite another discussion over where he ultimately will be placed among the pantheon of flamenco guitarists.

Felt like I just fell asleep there....then those Paco esque picado runs woke me and I was in an elevator with that potatoe "cante" (for lack of a better word). I might buy this just for the picados.

That Pacoesque picado at 3:35 is awesome. I love the tune.
Fantastic playing. So expressive, and flawless.
He is one of the best guitarists ever in my book.
