Guest -> RE: Need help identifying 2 Flamenco songs (Feb. 22 2005 5:14:28)

Salsa de la Noche I think is on their album called "Compas". The other Arabic one I am not sure, they have several Arabic sounding tunes. Even though they are a rumba band, they have recorded real flamenco stuff, so can technically be considered "flamenco". Their live album contained a Fandango naturales and Tangos, the guitarist recorded a couple "bulerias" solos, and one piece in Rondena tuning similar to "Canastera". Their last album "Somos Gitanos" had a tanguillo. In their video documentary you can see them singing both Siguiriyas (cante jondo) and fandangos. Many of their letras por rumba, are taken (stolen?) directly from traditional flamenco. They are not really the greatest at flamenco puro, but interms of Rumba, they really are "the Kings". Considering their family heritage comes from Manitas de Plata and Jose Reyes (non flamencos), the next generation took more care in learning about the real flamenco. Ricardo
