wiking -> Recommend me some good flamenco music! (Apr. 22 2014 18:59:08)

Hello gents,

I've been listening to Paco de Lucia for years and years and I've never gotten tired of it- I own all of his albums, in fact. But I'm looking to expand my flamenco musical knowledge beyond just him and a scattered few other modern artists like Manolo Sanlucar, who I also enjoy quite a bit. These modern artists seem to incorporate a lot of jazz and other styles into their playing and I'm not opposed to that at all, either.

I was wondering if I could get some recommendations for some other flamenco players who are just as exciting, modern or traditional. I've been listening to Ruben Diaz a little bit lately, too, but I'm sure there are many other big names in flamenco that I'm missing.

Fire away!

Manual Morao - Traditional Accompanist

Pedro Bacan - This guy guy also accompanies alot of people and has an interesting style of toque

El Nino Miguel - A really nice solo album you should appreciate , on similar rapport to Paco back in his earlier albums.

Cantors from the black and white era from Jerez such as Terremoto, Paquera , Sordera, and Agujetas to name some of the more known ones.

Seriously watch the black and white recordings from back in the day its just raw its so raw , from what i can tell alot of those recordings were legit gatherings, the fat the old and the ugly all get there time to shine, do you know how beautiful and rare that is especially looking back on it from today's point of view.

Those grandmas dancing , it speaks in volumes too me.

Lots of excellent suggestions in just a few posts. I would also suggest that you spend some time listening to some good cante, which will deepen your appreciation of flamenco in general and also lead you to some excellent players. My interest was very guitar-centric when I first discovered flamenco, but nowadays I crave listening to cante and cante accompaniment before soloists.

One of my favorite players that I didn't see in the above posts is Melchor de Marchena. Try searching Rito y Geografia on youtube, the entire series is a goldmine of the greatest singers and players of all time.

Also, to add another modern name - Pedro Sierra

It's called "Rito y Geografia del Cante" series....18 DVDs available 4 half hour episodes on each disc with subtitles in English. THe ultimate treasure for aficionados.

I am no where near as experienced in flamenco as some of the above posters, but the more cante you listen to, the more you appreciate other aspects. For me there has always been flamenco and Paco, his music is timeless and when I first started listening to paco I thought "where is he pulling all these melodies from". After listening to cante you start to hear it in Paco. Farru said in an interview Paco is a Percussionist, a Singer and a dancer.

EDIT: I recommened Manolo Sanlucar, Gerardo Nunez, Paco's and Tomatito's works accompanying Camaron.
