por medio -> Your favourite album of the decade (Dec. 9 2009 18:34:01)

It's time for me to search deeply for another profound album.

Cositas Buenas is still going strong for me.

Also just listening to Arcangel's last one - loving it.

Some Jose Merce of earlier decade was great listening - can't remember the titles - but not quite as "profound" for me.

Give me your thoughts and tell me what your favourite and soul-moving album(s) of the last decade is (are).

Many thanks

I have based my opinion on albums that have inspired me the most. I have picked the ones that i can listen to over and over again.

Manolo Sanlucar "Tauromagia"
Chicuelo "Complices"
Rafael Cortes "Gitanos Del Agua"
Pascual Gallo "Emma"
Juan Carmona "Orillas"

I Love the individuality and lyrical writing styles that these albums capture.



Andy Culpepper -> RE: Your favourite album of the decade (Dec. 10 2009 5:36:50)

Cositas Buenas
Esperanza Fernandez - "Recuerdos"
Potito - "Barrio Alto"
Diego el Cigala - "Picasso en mis Ojos"
Pepe Habichuela & The Bollywood Strings - "Yerbaguena"



bursche -> RE: Your favourite album of the decade (Dec. 10 2009 6:28:20)

Locura de Brisa y Trino.



flybynight -> RE: Your favourite album of the decade (Dec. 10 2009 7:28:05)

I'm with bursche - Locura de Brisa y Trino - Manolo Sanlucar's finest hour I reckon.

Not true flamenco, but truly unique and beautiful all the same.



granjuanillo -> RE: Your favourite album of the decade (Dec. 23 2009 8:25:17)

Here are a few I love and recommend to others - interestingly, three are fusions, and I usually don't like fusion that much, unless the fusion is very flamenco, which it is in these:

Chano Lobato: Azucar Cande'
Son de la Frontera
Las tres mil viviendas

and a non-fusion one, with some of the best bulerias ever - often w/out guitar:

Al compas de los Zambos

For solo guitar, like Marao Morao a lot.



Ricardo -> RE: Your favourite album of the decade (Dec. 23 2009 12:26:23)

Luis El Zambo Gloria Bendita
Duquende live with Chicuelo/and qwaali the flamenco parts with poveda too.
Cositas Buenas
Andando del Tiempo
Jesus del Rosario



Doitsujin -> RE: Your favourite album of the decade (Dec. 23 2009 14:37:37)

Mine are always changing from month to month...

Well if anybody is intereasted...

I think the actual one is "brillo de luna by Guadiana". I also found interest in Juan Habichuela. I love his Zambra.

hey ricardo, what happened? did you change your mind about cositas buenas?[:D]



Arash -> RE: Your favourite album of the decade (Dec. 24 2009 2:31:51)

i couldn't do anything with cositas buenos at all, when first heard it.

it was like the same feeling which i had years back, when i started with flamenco and for the first time heard all the different palos (except rumba [:D], i liked rumba).... weird feeling. "too much" for me ;-)

but now, cositas buenas is also one of my favourites.

Campo del Principe is one of my fav albums, but he very cleverly (read: stupidly) made the album copy protected (uncopyable on both win xp and linux), so I can't put it onto my mp3 player.

I wonder if it was worth all the trouble, and whether his sales shot up into the millions now you can't copy it. Suspect not, as hit 2007 - Una Guitarra en Granada is copyable.

Anyone got around this limitation ?

Thanks Mike - will check that out.

aleksi -> RE: Your favourite album of the decade (Dec. 24 2009 11:57:49)

I just got Jose manuel Leons Sirimusa and thats something exelent.
It really impressed me. I dont know if it is flamenco nuevo, fusion or just flamenco but it really is a one stylish album.



avimuno -> RE: Your favourite album of the decade (Dec. 24 2009 15:27:44)

That's a hard one, it's been a very fruitful decade for flamenco... But here are the ones I always tend to go back to, sticking to only solo guitar albums and in no particular order :-P

Locura de Brisa y Trino - Manolo Sanlucar
Andando el Tiempo - Gerardo Nunez
Bordon de Trapo - Miguel Angel Cortes
Romero - Juan Carlos Romero
Sirimusa - Jose Manuel Leon

Feliz Navidad!

that's EXACTLY how i felt at first. cositas buenas was my first flamenco album and is now easily one of my faves.

Just been listening to some samples of those - nice recommendations!



avimuno -> RE: Your favourite album of the decade (Dec. 25 2009 9:58:14)

Thanks Ailsa!
I really like the 3 of them... they have their own individual styles and sounds; and although they might not show as much technique as Gerardo or Jeronimo, the music is always great as is the way they approach rhythm.
Enjoy!



por medio -> RE: Your favourite album of the decade (Dec. 26 2009 1:03:24)

Thanks for the responses guys. I have just got Locura de Brisa y Trino now and had a listen. Very interesting album. I've always like Manolo Sanlucar (although there're few melodic stuff that I didn't really agree to in the past) and this one is again something else.

I don't know a word of Spanish however and I'd like to know some background context to this album. This doesn't seem like a just a "random" collection of pieces - "Here are some stuff that I have composed over the years so have a listen" kind of stuff - but there seems to be quite a deep and meaningful thing behind this.

I've listened to it about twice now - not with full attention however - and I must say it hasn't grabbed me by the throat straigtaway (like Barrio Alto of Potito - boy that's good Flamenco). But it does feel there is something that I'm missing at the moment.

So to the guys who really know their Spanish and have listened and understood Locura de Brisa y Trino, what is the context of the album and what is Manolo trying to tell us through it?

Thanks again!



flybynight -> RE: Your favourite album of the decade (Dec. 26 2009 8:08:24)

This is a nice interview with Manolo about the album :

Jon.



por medio -> RE: Your favourite album of the decade (Dec. 30 2009 16:42:20)

Thanks for the link. A good insight into Manolo's mind indeed.

I must say that those modulations are still a bit odd at this stage for me [8|]

It is modern flamenco IMO. Flamenco flamenco. :.)
I wont call it jazz because he uses things from Jazz for flamenco and not the other way around. The CDs Jazzpana by Gerardo Nunez I would call Jazz, because there he uses things from flamenco for Jazz.

I bought cositas buenas when I was dating with a damn hot girl... Listening to that CD still reminds me on this great time,... till she cut me off.... :./ But on this CD is too much going on... Listening to that is like listening to somebody at a party with loooud music. You are standing right next to him but dont understand just a single word. I also dont know if the babyvoice was so well placed in one of the tracks..



KMMI77 -> RE: Your favourite album of the decade (Dec. 31 2009 4:36:41)

Sirimusa really didn't do it for me. The tientos is good but i didn't get into the rest.

^^ Thats interesting.. the tientos is the only song on this CD I dont like so much... The cante is naja IMO... That happens when girlfriends involve themselves hehe. "I sing the tientos or you don´t get sex" [:D] Sounds funny but thats so cruel!!!!!

I'm going to bump this because these five are among some of my favorite albums (the first and last especially) (also the one in the middle) and are very non-standard, and I'm wondering if anyone could recommend albums which are similarly....erm.... interesting :)



gounaro -> RE: Your favourite album of the decade (Oct. 29 2010 17:52:39)

Noone here likes Vicente Amigo? [:'(]
