quote:
ORIGINAL: Jim Opfer I like the grit sound of Duquende to listen to rather than the screach sound of Potito but I understand that in Gypsy circles, Potito is ranked very highly and Duquende is not. Does anyone know anything about this? No, both are high regarded IMO and experience. Potito has more his own style at least por bulerias, where as Duquende more of a copy of camaron. Both are considered Camaroneros however. One thing to keep in mind, Potito is andaluz and Duquende is from Barcelona. About tomatito having "floating" rhythm, I dont' agree. His falseta is highly sophisticated and synchopated, but I don't think you can get tighter then what he does in that movie. But we can argue about this forever, so let me just say he plays the same falseta in the Encuentro vid intro that you can see is exact the same. I think it is actually more clear to learn against palmas then the table knocking, but either way he is very tight with the compas. Ricardo
