sorry, Doitsujin, I was just referring to his name. nevermind me... Anil... I don't have any secrets, just listen to a lot of cante albums and strip-search youtube! And as far as Dani, his sound is too messy/noisy sometimes but I understand his style when it works. Nothing new but here's some little-known, little-recorded players: Everyone should hear Manuel (Manolo) Silveria, he has appeal for all, I think, a totally beautiful and smooth sound. Also... Juan Ramon Caro, Fernando de la Rua, Manuel Parrilla, Juani Requena, Juan Campallo, Paquete, El Tuto, Antonio El Titi who has a really fun attitude and is off the chain! There are so many more good players, too difficult to say who will get proper backing, proper recording, or rise to the top of anything. And it seems some are more ambitious than others as far as personal original music, and others may be happy just to play for singers or never record for a broader audience. Or their playing doesn't translate well on CD. I don't know what's going on! Even with someone like Jose Carlos Gomez, it seems from his album samples that there is a lot of pop and he wants to sing, which is a tragedy to me. Although that one bulerias is pretty good, I think. But I read that Antonio Rey and Diego del Morao are both working on solo albums right now. That is good news, I hope they get it right.
