At first, if you cite a poem, no matter if you got it from a book, singer or the internet, you have to add the reference under it. Otherwise I dont trust you that it is a flamenco letra if you was able to post a really good one. By the way the ones which singers stole from real poets or sang some written by a real poet for their singign, dont count! And as I said, without reference its useless. Ok and now some quotes: quote:
If it were not important then they would sing onomatopeya all day. I really enjoy it. onomatopeya? Im sure it is good poetry. By the way. Poetry loose much of its quality if you translate it. It has only its most effectiveness in the lenguage of the original. quote:
That reminds me of my grandfather. Walking in the fields just me and him. Him teaching me about herbs and plants that are edible if I ever got lost. Very ,..very interesting, romantic story... ZZZZzzzzz....really.. *yaawwwn* quote:
This is poetry of the uneducated(although some gypsies have their doctorates and excel in other fields as well) I know some doctorates who did their to do a doctor's degree by watching apes over a period of 2 years and wrote down a hourly diary when and where they shi*tted or ate the louses of another ape.... Another one made murine drunken and watched their behaviour. The medicine Dr. is just a joke. They sumarise already explored things from books already during their sudying periods.. .. So there are really earned dctors degrees and joke ones. So a person with Dr. degree gets only my acceptance when I know what he did. Titles alone are nothing. Sorry for argueing against the letra thing here. Thats no attack. I respect the people here, so please dont ake it bad. You are a nice guy Romerito. Im just negatively adjusted to flamenco "poetry". By the way. Im in real not interested in any poems in any lenguage. And I never memorised just one sang letra or wanted it. No pop songs, childrens songs, flamenco letras, folksongs , whatever. Im a complete lyrics ignorant. I dont even memorised chrismas songs or preysongs in the church. I dont like all these texts. Dont know why, but its anchored deep inside of me. Im also not interested in Goete and underwrites. You could help me very much if someone could explain me the clue of this mental diarrhea... I try but really cant find anything inside this which gives me something...

NOTICE I said supposedly-because that is not my opinion, but eh opinion of some aficionados. About Cepero, that is interesting, though I have not heard it before, but doesn't surprise me really. I think he is maybe no. 1 for me. He has a lot of great dynamics in the bulerias with Maria Vargas too. Of course that is not PDL, and you can hear his voice giving jaleos and encouragement "ole!, brilla!",etc. I think they got mixed up on that CD is because PDL DOES play two excellent solo pieces, and maybe joins in some rumbas and dance accomp., but I doubt it. Cepero is doing all the accomp, but they were on tour and hanging out a lot. If you notice, Cepero plays a couple of falsetas and little licks that PDL is famous for, so they were probably trading ideas. Perhaps who ever listen to the tapes and mastered the CD heard those licks and thought it was PDL. There is series called "puro y jondo" DVD's, and is fairly recently recorded. Cepero is seen accompanying some folks in that vid, and he plays as good as ever. Nano de Jerez comes to mind, but I dont' own the series, only have seen it with friends. So you can still find him accompanying. About PHD, I think J. Serrano and J. Greco were both awarded honorary PHD's for doing nothing. Ricardo
