I think what can help everyone answer the question is for you to consider what school, so to speak, of flamenco most attracts you. What I mean is that there are some important and wonderful regional differences. I have a good friend here in San Diego (Ed) who had a really great experience in Granada, studying with Paco Cortes and Emilio Maya. He stayed in an apartment that belonged to Marina Heredia. He came back with a lot of nice material and some wonderful memories. I believe Granada flamenco can be a little different than it is from other places. Jerez is very much a stronghold, and there are some styles of playing bulerias from there that are really great. Cádiz also has some unique elements and it is another historically very strong flamenco city. Sevilla, I hear, is the flamenco mecca of Andalucía. There is an American guitarist named Ethan Margolis living there who has done some workshops here in San Diego. He is a fountain of really great knowledge about flamenco, you should be able to find him pretty easily. In Utrera, Lebrija and Morón you might find some very traditional styles that left very strong imprints on others who have gone there. The small city feel might be attractive. Of course, theres Madrid, where you can find Caño Roto and Viejín, Ramón Jiménez, David Cerreduela, El Entri and others who have a newer style many people like. Also, I hear Rafael Riqueni has been in Madrid and was teaching a while back. There's also Miguel Rivera and others associated with Serranito who you might like to check in with. In Córdoba there are also many fine guitarists, but I don't know who you can get in with there. Córdoba has produced some really big name guitarists and I bet there are some excellent teachers there too. I'm curious to see what other suggest. -Anthony

I forgot that in Córdoba, if you choose to go there, you could also find Alberto Lucena. He came to San Diego a few years ago and taught a bunch of us a few things. He is a really good guitarist, awesome technique and style, knew how to accompany dance and cante. He played on the Antonio Porcuna "el veneno" cd titled Vivencia Flamenca. You would not have a hard time finding him there, he is known there and won a fairly prestigious prize. Also, if you don't know Spanish, do everything you can to immerse yourself now and begin to learn, buy a used textbook or some kind of course on cd or anything, it will help immensely. -Anthony
