RE: Paco Cepero: biografía (in reply to Morante)

Nice thanks! Very humble guy, says he recognized the good partnership of Paco de Lucía and Camarón, even though everyone was saying he sang his best with Cepero. He put a lot on his teacher Rafael Águila, who also gave us Parrilla and Gerardo Nuñez amongst other greats. For me Cepero and Manuel Morao are the best accompanists. Cepero credits his inspiration from Melchor and Diego del Gastor.

For me the most interesting quote was when he says you are not "born" with Compás, but you learn it like scales and harmonies. What you can't be taught is to be creative.
