Fair enough!!!

They've put together a record dedicated to La Niña de los Peines and Niño Ricardo. They even made it sound like it was recorded in the 1930s. Old school is the new modern.

Wild! Listened briefly. Thought it was original old recordings. Pretty cool idea.... I think

Suits me just fine, as I have always preferred "Old School" flamenco to modern--Sabicas, Nino Ricardo, Nina de los Peines, Chocolate, and others. Also glad to see vinyl LP records are the thing now with CDs dying out, as I've kept all of my vinyl LPs from the early '60s and still have a 50-year old stereo unit to play them on. But then, I still have a landline telephone but don't have an I-phone or a cell phone of any type. Three cheers for "Old School."

Ok I really like this. I love Estrella's voice but the only album I like of hers is Mi Cante y un Poema. Love Rafael. Great to hear something like this, kinda novelty production, but I guess it needed to be.

Actually my one concession to the tech zeitgeist is I do have a desktop computer. Nevertheless, when we travel my wife and I use computers and the internet in the hotel's business center or at the local library.

When I first listened to it, and heard this crackly 1930s style recording, I was thinking "Either someone's made a mistake, or this is a hoax"

But then Estrella's voice is really unique, so my conclusion just became that I was going mad 🤣

It's a stroke of genius! People are always grumbling about how sold out modern flamenco can get. Well, they couldn't have made a more old school record

Sounds like a live recording, to me it's more like the sound of a studio album from the 1970's than 1930's...

Guitar references 1970's Paco de Lucía - track "No La Tome Usted Conmigo!" has falseta from Solera (Fuente Y Caudal 1973) and "Por Rondeñas" sounds like Doblan Campanas (El Duende Flamenco de Paco de Lucía).

PDL used to be "modern" but I guess that stuff is 50 years old now, how did that happen? I must be getting old too!
