Antonio of course! Truly amazing player. Now seeing his picado technique very close i come to think... they always say you have to move your fingers very little to get speed. But his fingers actually move aways from the strings much...
Wow that’s a pretty awesome lineup. I’d like to see Rey, but also the Makarines and Duqu… is this all part of one show or separate. But the idea of going to NY City stresses me out unless I make a trip out of it.

Maybe we could pick you up, but we are spending the night up there.
I prefer my flamenco guitar spicy, doesn't have to be fast, should have some meat on the bones, can be raw or well done, as long as it doesn't sound like it's turning green on an elevator floor.
Saw him last night in SF in a room with maybe forty people. Truly an amazing player. The strength, speed, and endurance of his picado is really exceptional. But he really displayed that power in all the techniques. Had front row seats and it was better than if he played in my living room cause he had good sound. A bit of reverb ala Vicente. Technically probably the best player out there. The things he plays flawlessly are incredibly difficult. He also has a sensitivity and musicality that exceed that of many other great players.
He played a few new tunes, and some of his older stuff. Had a good crew with him on cajon, baile and cante for parts of the program. Also had a second guitarist for a few tunes. Brought out a few locals for the fin de fiesta.
Hard to imagine anyone alive playing the guitar better than him. Of course we all have our own taste re flamenco, but as a straight up ripper on flamenco guitar, he has few rivals, if any.
