Best flamenco player

Hi all What are your top three best players of all time? RULES It can be anyone who displays the skills required to play flamenco not necessarily a flamenco player by trade eg angel romero, not someone who plays fingerstyle but never displayed any techniques of flamenco eg Julian bream. Players are to be listed in any order or no order but the skills and technical proficiency are what we are judging, not the feeling or tone. How they interact with other musicians in real time is a technical skill so will be included. Feel free to explain why you think a player deserves a spot. Remember the one you like the best might not be the best player. Have fun Hwyl fawr David

In my opinion the question of "top three players" with "rules" and listed criteria as presented in your comment is too open-ended and too open to interpretation to have any value. For example, the subject is "best flamenco player," yet you state, "It can be anyone who displays the skills required to play flamenco not necessarily a flamenco player by trade...," whatever that means. Also, your admonition, "Remember the one you like the best might not be the best player," seems a bit condescending for someone who just joined the Foro to be advising many on the Foro who have years of study and experience regarding flamenco. Nevertheless, my reservations on the value of this exercise notwithstanding, I'll go along with it. Sabicas and Paco de Lucia for reasons that need no explanation. Paco Cepero, in my opinion the finest accompanist past or present. Bill
