Ron.M -> RE: Moraito and Jose Merce live on Onda Jerez (Sep. 17 2003 21:14:42)

Tonight was easily the best concert in my opinion. Moratito is certainly no guitar virtuoso, but he has a nice way with the guitar and his "sunshine" personality just comes beaming through. Jose Merce, who, in a way I've likened to the "James Brown" of Flamenco (though not in an endearing way..LOL!) did a particularly good concert tonight also. Lots of soulfulness in each of their performances. Excellent stuff! You know, it's a rare and lucky thing that happens in one's lifetime, when two very gifted personalities meet, (like John Lennon and Paul McCartney etc) and that's what my mind drifted to during the performance. Can you just imagine, with that crowd...and that atmosphere.... if the young Paco and the young Camaron had to walk onstage?...... No disrespect to any of the brilliant musicians who have appeared in this festival. (In fact I wonder what their reaction would be also!) It just makes me all the more awestruck in the light of what these two guys achieved. Anyway...rambling now! Off to see "El Capullo", one of my favourites... and definitely the "Ronnie Wood" of Flamenco! I loved the way that he had a good career ahead in football, but decided to give it up for Flamenco, because he liked to party too much for training in the professional game! LOL! Ron
