2019 Festival de las Minas

Reposting this since I think it got lost in the transfer to the new server.
Final of this year's festival de las minas:

I also found out that there was a category for instruments other than guitar.
Flamenco on a marimba is not something you hear every day:

RE: 2019 Festival de las Minas (in reply to Piwin)

The intro of Vicente’s taranta on marimba reminds me of listening to it on guitar pro midi Lol. Bulerias Marimba duet pretty cool. I’m all for new instruments in flamenco. But I like to hear the actual nuance that that instrument brings rather than just mimicking guitar falsetas if you know what I mean. Pardo was good at brining this nuance I thought.
