Florian,
For guitar cds (in no particular order);
1) Pedro Sierra - Decisión (lots of other instrumentation and fusion but as a guitarist he sounds very flamenco to me on the more flamenco oriented tracks - soleá, bulerías)
2) Pedro Bacan - Aluricán He died a few years ago, but he was a good guitarist all around, very, very flamenco

Florian.
If you want something up to date that is well worth listening to, try "Un segundo de cante" by Segundo Falcon, with Paco Serrano on guitar. You can have a trial listen at www.flamenco-world.com.
Click on the CD's section and type "Segundo Falcon" in the search panel. There are several clips you can listen to on REALPLAYER.
I cheated a little by not buying it, but winning it in a comp. It's very good.((-:

Wow Peter I have never heard of that guy before but i really really like his stuff, there's so much depth in his music, thank you for introducing me to him.
RE: Everyones suggestion on what cd'... (in reply to Florian)
Peter Suggestion just reminded me of something i recentely got Guitar album : David Tavares ---Un brasileño en Madrid
Dont be put off by the title , it is flamenco however something about the sound of the trebles that is kind of Brasilian sounding if that makes any sense ?
This is a very nice cd theres something very sweet and innocent about the music, is the kind of cd you can have playing in the background.
I know it kind of sounds like the kind of cd's youl find in Infromercials on TV late at night " HEY THERE < DO YOU LIKE FLAMENCO AND BRASILIAN MUSIC ? WELL NOW YOU DONT HAVE TO SEPARATE THE 2 ANYMORE !!! WE HERE AT AMTEL THINK WE HAVE THE ANSWER !!" heheheh
BUT it is not that at all it deserves alot more respect than that .
For guitarists accompaning Dancers you have to have :Juana la Loca from Sara Baras concert.
Jesús de Rosario & Mario Montoya: guitars theres so many good ideas you can use accompaning dancers eg the cool scratching during tangos escobilla.
RE: Everyones suggestion on what cd'... (in reply to Florian)
Hi.
This is some cd´s i like.
Paco de lucia .Bienal de seville -98 (live! Bootleg you wont find this one i think. I got this from a guy in sweden who actually worked in their achive. He has copyed every consert.) Diego El Cigala con Niño Josele Duquende.Samaruco. And even Ojos de brujo. Bari (even if it´s POP it´s quite nice) Anything With Camarón and paco. And a swedish one called ERIK STEEN. He´s very modern and very melodic. His group is called Flamenco fusion. But don´t be affraid cuz of the fusion. It´s very flamenco. Henrik.
RE: Everyones suggestion on what cd'... (in reply to duende)
THIS IS GREATE YOU GUYS !!! I now have about 5 cds on my to check out list that i might have never tought to try otherwise, hopefully you are benefiting from this too, if not " Tough titties " :))) it was my idea LOL
I agree with you Duende about Samaruco , is some of my favourite Paco work on that cd.
Bailaoro , this sounds interesting , i have heard that name before but never heard his stuff , is he young ? old ? who does his style compare too ?
whats the name of the album ?
Man it is amasing to me pple understand what the hell i am saying , i look back on some of the stuff i say and the spelling is a good as Sylvester Stalone's talking in Rocky 1 and Rambo :)
RE: Everyones suggestion on what cd'... (in reply to Florian)
The bulerias "Manuella" of Manuel Parrilla (style of Jerez) can be heard on the album "Fragua Futura" , also you can find the track under the album name, again on www.flamenco-world.com
I read somewhere on F-W that Estrella Morente was supposed to have a new CD out in December, but I have not seen it anywhere nor have I read anything of it since. Anyone know anything else about this release?

Florian,
Pedro Bacan was kind of his own man. I don't know a lot about him, but there's a disc he played on for José de la Tomasa which is pretty solid. Alurican is now out of print but I can get it for you. It would be difficult to compare him to someone else, he was unique.
I think he was from Sevilla or Utrera. He had very strong opinions about flamenco. In fact, there's a rumor that he refused to play for dancers, but I can't remember the reason. Someone else here may know of this....
Do you have Rafael Riqueni's second recording, called simply "Flamenco"? It was never released on cd, but a couple people made mp3s of it, I did and that one has some good playing on it.
Do you have Adam del Monte?
Juan Carmona? Carmona is pretty solid.
How about Pascual Gallo? Another French player. He has a nice Colombiana with some cool vocal harmony on it. It's an ok cd. Paco de Lucía wrote a nice personal endorsement for Pascual.
Maybe one of the above people will be new to you....
RE: Everyones suggestion on what cd'... (in reply to Paleto)
I have Pedro Becan's solo CD which has I think an 8 minute improvised Buleria, and Tarrantos, with percusion played on a Guitar case, also an Alegria that goes on and on, he was certainly a virtuoso, I was shocked to hear of his death. Dave

Actually, he was from Lebrija and was first cousin of Pedro Peña and Juan Peña 'El Lebrijano'. He was an excellent guitarist who had an untimely death in a car accident about 6 years ago. Phil
