It seems not many who are capable of it are making good recordings, perhaps flamenco is best experienced live anyway? It is not hard to make good recordings: all you need is a cantaor, a tocaor, 2 palmeros, some friends, a bottle of manzanilla and two microphones in a decent studio. Sadly today, nobody wants to record en directo: Protools offers separate recording tracks, a claqueta, and perfect editing, you can even move imprecise palmas to their "correct" position. Then, on other tracks you can add coros, violin, percussion etc, etc. This is what people want. The CDs I produced of Juan Silva and José Millàn were both recorded en directo: in the soleá of Juan, the guitarist recorded a compás of 6. When I pointed it out, he was mortified, but Juan had to record the whole soleá again[:D]. With Protools, a little bit of editing and all is well. But one way is music, the other way is not.
