ORIGINAL: Pimientito I found this 3 LP set of Camaron de la Isla and Paco de Lucia. Unfortunately I dont have the outer record sleeve so I dont know what it is called and Im having trouble finding it on the Camaron discography. Does anyone else have this set with the sleeve? By guitarists it looks like a "best of" compilation. About Peña PDL duo....two guitarists of different caliber and style. Not much of a "fusion" either since they both follow N. Ricardo. Probably they could have dueted some N. Ricardo or Sabicas stuff, but considering PDL's direction it would have been not much of a big push for PDL artistically. Better would have been a full album of duets with Sanlucar that never manifested. I don't mean to burst any bubble of Peña fans, he is a great interpreter of the classics of traditional flamenco. We discussed this in the past, my opinion is that his success has been do to hanging out in England with the likes of Bream and Williams, becoming the token solo flamenco guitarist. His albums in USA have been found in the classical bin, vs all other flamenco players found in "world music/Spain" section. Why is he not taken as such an important "figura" in spain compared to others, even ones that don't play at his technical level? It is simply because he does not appear as a seasoned accompanist of famous cantaores in that humble role as pretty much all the other figura guitaristas in Spain. I am not saying he CAN'T, but he simply does not have any historic recordings in that regard and therefore is sort of off the map of for aficionados. Indeed there are some that don't care at all about PDL's solo or other guitar playing projects, and he only counts as "great" in spain due to his extensive discography as an accompanist. And last note about Peña not giving permission for such a "doble" ablum, let me just say as discussed in other topics about copyrights and such, NO recording artist with a serious record label has any right about this issue. Neither PDL or any other. Only independent artists with their own label/publisher can do that, and they rarely become international stars. As far as I know, the only album PDL seems to have some control over was Siroco, as if you look at publishing, producing, and record label, it's a little off the normal path of his Polygram business.
