Mark2 -> RE: Paco's Top Buleria? (Oct. 11 2004 18:33:41)

I have Nino Miguel's CD and he is/was a great player, very very similiar to Paco. I wondered if perhaps he developed at the same time as Paco, but Brook Zern, who is an expert on flamenco recordings amoung other things, informed me that Miguel's album was released later than Paco, which meant that Nino could have copped his whole gig from Paco. Nino's stuff is so similar that he had to have basically rewritten much of Paco's early material, however, there are other things, such as Nino's sevillanas, some of his bulerias, some of his solea, that are totaly original and truly great. His technique is not as strong as Paco's, IMO, and I don't see how Paco could ever have been "afraid", except for the fact that Nino is gipsy, which in certain cirlces elevated him above Paco as a flamenco.
