What defines Cañorotto style - I can only see (<-- no expert) a focus on technical fluency, speed, accuracy and agression. Am I missing something ?
it's just modern flamenco isn't it? That's the way I hear it. But maybe as the later post from Norman shows, the players from this area and scene helped to influence create the modern evolution...
quote:
I can see how this style suits bulerias, but Fandangos de Huelva ? Doesn't something of the essence of FDh get lost ? eg. does FDh really benefit from such a sharp attack on the picado ?
what about PDL FDH like Aires Choqueros, or even the one he recorded before Punta Umbria, or the later ones Castro Marin and Montiño?
quote:
El Nani was influencing the other players
don't forget what Enrique De Melchor said about El Nani;
"When my father worked at "Los Canasteros" there was a guy there that played really well, called "El Nani". We all knew him. When I saw him I was really impressed with his playing. He asked me, "Aren't you going to play like your father?". I just played a little, practically nothing. So I said, "I don't know. I'm studying." So he showed me a falseta and I was hooked."
also that not long after Enrique toured with Paco;
"I was at Los Canasteros, and I used to study a lot. I remember one night Paco de Lucía came by and liked my playing. He was just starting out back then, working around Europe, and he was also very young. He suggested doing concerts together, and I learned a lot with him. We spent a year traveling all over the world, I learned a lot."
