Miguel Ángel Cortés, ‘Bordón de...

Carmen Linares, Arcángel, Esperanza Fernández, Canito are few that have collaborated on Miguel's cd.

What do you think of it?
The more I listen to it, the more I like it!
Maybe there's too much Gerardo influence from time to time, but anyway, its great.

Here's his interview:

Again the same story... There are so many great artists out there but noone seems to know about them...

I'd upload some parts but I dont know how...

I saw Miguel Angel a while ago in concert. Excellent guitarist, very sensitive playing. Everyone should look into this!

I learned from M.A.Cortes. If anyone is interested the material he showed... just tell me. Only audio this time but highly playable and useable. Great solid player!

RE: Miguel Ángel Cortés, ‘Bordó... (in reply to Matic)

ok I packed two files together. He plays around 8-10 tangos flasetas in slow tempo and one file "extra-slow" for caracoles.
I think you dont need all the talking and fiddeling of the other people. So its packed in winmediafile around 6,9MB.

I used filefactory for upload. here is the link:

http://www.filefactory.com/file/1aa7d0/

You can see the filesize and my description there. But please dont ask me where they hide the download-button... I dont like these pages. Everywhere comercials but the dopwnload-button is hidden.

Have fun with the music. I like it very much. Its in tangos de granada-style- M-A-Cortes - style. Like on the CD patiarca.

Tschüsschen!

I remember seeing a video a while ago, he was playing in a classroom with his students this exact tango, if you ever get around to tabbing some of this stuff , it would be appreciated im sure :o.

There were no camera... I think he teaches everywhere the same... it was in 2002

I heared somebody playing his stuff. And this person played a falseta from this "collection". Maybe he teaches the same thigs 1000 times. But his way how to teach it was the best I saw till now. After the lessons I was able to play the stuff, use it for different things and learned some new chords. Very good lesson for beginners to get into tangos.

M.A.Cortes:

quote:

“There are no falsetas now, there’s music”

Thats a statement I like. Yes flamenco allways goes on. It renews. AND in a niceway. If I take a look at some modern Classic-guitar its very abstract but no music anymore. Thats the clue in flamenco. Its not just constructing some logical but very abstract harmonies. Its making music which comes from the heart. Isn´t it ?

No-one that is except for Mariquilla, Manolete, Antonio Canales, Javier Barón, Juan Andrés Maya, José de la Tomasa, José Mercé, Chano Lobato, Luis Heredia El Polaco, Morenito de Illora, Marina Heredía, Enrique and Estrella Morente, Carmen Linares all of whom he has worked with. He has toured Europe, Turkey, the States and Japan. He played on Omega and Estrella's 'Mi Cante y un poema" and won the Paco de Lucia award for best guitarist 1994.

He's hardly an unknown in flamenco circles.

btw, i uploaded the video I was talking about, it's only 2-3mins long, but it does give you a good idea of how he teaches. You can also see the importance of compas, as the students not as advanced just strum compas during the falsetas.
