Mark2 -> RE: Who here came to flamenco via jazz/improv vs. through composed music? (Nov. 9 2010 0:39:22)

Really? First time I saw this vid, I loved it. The big sound of the guitar, the tuning , all of it. I really like the style of playing where there's tons of rhythm, and a few falsetas that seem like they might be being created on the spot.
Not that I don't like when someone like Vicente Amigo plays a completely worked out incredible piece of music, but this kind of playing has a lot of freedom in it, and as you say, it's the rhythm that counts. It might be boring as music, but not as flamenco IMO.

I'm pretty sure it is "off the cuff" (ie playing stuff in an area they've explored before in private), but if you listen to it carefully, it's actually quite boring, with the same template being used all the time and ending in the Rondeñas resolving chord which they milk for all it's worth like a kid with a new toy.[:D]
"Hey check me out ...eh?"
The main thing these guys have is good rhythm, so they could play anything and fart on 10 and it would still be pretty good Flamenco, since most Flamencos care more about the rhythm than any damn notes or fancy fingering anyway.
(They are only half-listening anyway and waiting for the singer.[:D])
Actually, thinking about it, a lot of the OldSchool falsetas were very cleverly thought out pieces of intricate genius in comparison to this IMO.
cheers,
Ron
