runner -> RE: TOP 5 BEST EVER FLAMENCO ALBUMS (Jul. 29 2011 23:46:46)
|
I can't tell, in any art form, what's best (or worst): I only know what I like. Here are 5 disks I''d take to the proverbial desert island, to help me remember what flamenco was really like--wonderful cante, supported by sympathetic, collaborative guitar, and maybe some dance, with knowing jaleo in the background, reminding one that it was/is a shared emotional experience...... (single disks only--no anthologies) Danzas Flamencas: C: Manolita de Jerez, Rafael Romero T: thought to be Miguel Garcia B: Jose Greco. A 1954 Decca LP. Festival Gitana: C: Enrique Montoya, Domingo Alvarado T: Sabicas, Diego Castellon, Mario Escudero. Late 1950s Elektra LP. Early Cante Flamenco: C: Antonio Mairena, Tomas Pavon, Pastora Pavon, Pepe Pinto, Manolo Caracol, Manuel Vallejo T: Paco Aguilera, Melchor de Marchena, Nino Ricardo. 1990 Arhoolie CD. Cante Gitano: C: Jose de la Tomasa, Maria la Burra, Maria Solea T: Paco del Gastor, Juan del Gastor. 1989 Nimbus CD. Collecion Nuestro Flamenco 2: C: Manolo Caracol, w. T: Melchor de Marchena, C: Perrate de Utrera w. T: Diego del Gastor, Pedro Pena. 2004 RTVE CD.
