After 3 years of playing, I can finally say I have fallen in love with the cante Jondo. It took me a while, but it happened. I can now very much see the appeal which previously, I failed to do so. I have gotten so used to it, that I can't actually listen to any soft singers anymore. Ricardo's earlier comments about a singer pretending to sing nice, also made sense. Singers like Jose Menese and Chocolate, that I never thought I'd appreciate, I finally look forward to listening to.
RE: Appreciating the cante Jondo (in reply to metalhead)
During coved foro member Morionte (rip) sent me a cd of I needed for my studies but added this José Millán cd.
I used to play along but in the last year I’ve been digging the cante as much as the guitar work.
And ya, I don’t like that soft whatever you call it, I’m not a fan of Jazzminco at all, I don’t even like the later PDL stuff… Ducks flying empty manzanilla bottles ;)
I few years ago my ex mentioned somthing less then polite about the cante and I knew we were done

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.
