ORIGINAL: Ricardo quote:
He sounds confused, the melodies seem to be just sudden bursts of notes that dont have a flow to it, I wouldnt even call it jazzy because they seem to go nowhere. I used to feel the same way of his style vs say Vicente Nuñez Sanlucar etc, but over time I realized his way to compose is with very concise and effective falsetas that don't necessarily need to be stitched together in any special way as they function perfect for context of cante accompaniment, taken on their own. But put together randomly they don't make compositional sense, and are not supposed to. Nuñez for example has very involved sections of music that just won't work in context of cante (unless modified and elements sacrificed), but vast majority of tomatito's music is that way. For that reason there will be different tastes on the issue of flamenco guitar solo styles and that is normal. I was just talking with someone about this the other day. I totally agree. In this respect I think Tomatito is most similar to Moraito. Overall, I think that individual falsetas that can exist independently and out of compositional context are more traditional than something that is designed for use exclusively in a particular -- particularly, solo -- context.
