What's with all the flamenco deaths in the past year? Geez [8|]

I guess he wasn't talked about much here but from what I understand he was a solid fixture in Spain and I liked his Encuentro vid as well.




duende -> RE: Enrique de Melchor has passed away (Jan. 3 2012 12:18:35)

oh man, Never been into him but i enjoy his early trad stuff.




KMMI77 -> RE: Enrique de Melchor has passed away (Jan. 3 2012 12:23:41)

Another great player [:(] I enjoyed his music as well.




kudo -> RE: Enrique de Melchor has passed away (Jan. 3 2012 13:01:58)

I was watching his petenera and serrana the other day and for some reason, I had a feeling that he wont last too long [:(][:(][:(] . I hope we dont witness the death of another great flamenco this year....
here is a rondena from him: RIP

[8|] Did I not just warn you about your present course of action regarding that palo. Consider this example 1. Keep on with it and see what more good stuff happens.

Anyway, I feel lucky to have met him back in 2007 in Madrid after a concert. I have stated several times on the foro that he was always under rated as a player. His album Cuchichi is still one of my favorites for guitar solo. Great sound and tons of duende on that disc. Also a duet with PDL por fandangos on a later disc was very special where they trade solos on the coplas. My favorite video of him is this with his dad....reminds me of my father and I when I was a young punk playing metal guitar and trying to show off my speed....but a big difference is that Enrique has more then just technique, he really was a high level artist even back then and his dad so proud. RIP maestro.





rombsix -> RE: Enrique de Melchor has passed away (Jan. 3 2012 13:43:08)

Anyone know how he died? He was only 61 years old. Not cancer again?!




Doitsujin -> RE: Enrique de Melchor has passed away (Jan. 3 2012 14:10:12)

Sad, also one of my favourite players. I always hoped for more CDs.




mezzo -> RE: Enrique de Melchor has passed away (Jan. 3 2012 14:16:02)

another sad news [:(]



he was a great guitarist and awesome musician. RIP maestro

why was he under rated?




Arash -> RE: Enrique de Melchor has passed away (Jan. 3 2012 14:33:49)

RIP




why so young? 61 is not an age.




Elie -> RE: Enrique de Melchor has passed away (Jan. 3 2012 14:46:17)

a great player with wonderful compositions I really like him
Rip maestro Enrique.

Cuz he does not get mentioned so much as an important figure. Also, he borrows maybe too much from PDL repertoire, but I think that is fine. He is up there with Tomatito, Nuñez, Chicuelo, vicente and all the Caño Roto guys IMO as a player. But he doesn't get the same recognition generally.

changue -> RE: Enrique de Melchor has passed away (Jan. 3 2012 15:03:37)

According to EL Mundo, the maestro died of cancer. What a great player.http://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2012/01/03/andalucia_sevilla/1325594188.html

RIP maestro! [:(]

Damn cancer!!! [:@]




Munin -> RE: Enrique de Melchor has passed away (Jan. 3 2012 15:26:42)

By the way this marks the third person who has appeared in an Encuentro video dying of cancer...not that I'm superstitious or anything...

Fernando Terremoto hijo, the singer in the Moraíto video.




Phrygian -> RE: Enrique de Melchor has passed away (Jan. 3 2012 15:51:13)

That's really sad to hear always liked his playing here is a great video of him and Fernanda De Utrera.





jg7238 -> RE: Enrique de Melchor has passed away (Jan. 3 2012 15:56:57)

Holy Crap! I cannot believe this. He was one of my favorite players and to see this is such a downer. He was so underrated as a guitarist like Ricardo stated. RIP Maestro. [:(]

Ricardo -> RE: Enrique de Melchor has passed away (Jan. 4 2012 14:09:45)

Here is a great buleria in D# (Eb)



and nice buleria that has most material from cuchichi:




mezzo -> RE: Enrique de Melchor has passed away (Jan. 4 2012 14:55:01)

Also this tangos in rondena tuning.
A little part of it is tab on the Encuentro book. I tried to learn it, a couple of month ago but i gave up...

Nice tune.





rogeliocan -> RE: Enrique de Melchor has passed away (Jan. 4 2012 18:02:18)

61 is so young, too young.




Argaith -> RE: Enrique de Melchor has passed away (Jan. 4 2012 18:30:11)

At the dinner table tonight to my wife:

- Enrique de Melchor has passed away.
- Who' he?
- The man we wake up to his beautiful 'Limonera' everyday.

I just remembered that I had set that most beautiful Farruca for my alarm[:(]




odinz -> RE: Enrique de Melchor has passed away (Jan. 4 2012 20:37:36)

Really unforgetable...

I hope that he knows about the legacy that he has left, and that he is an important part of many peoples lives, If he somehow could know I would tell him that he is a person that can heal souls and inpire.
