power, expression, authenticity, purity, tonality, arte. I don't care so much if they are an imitator or very unique so long as they are expressing truth with their voice.

Pain, and maybe a little anger.
I don't know enough to judge much else.
Oh, and I like hearing creative takes on old letras.

Sincerity, power, vulnerability, phrasing and risk taking in response to the moment.

All Of The Above, to be sure. But also there is something to be said for singers working together with guitarists who have known one another and collaborated for a long time, as this allows each--especially the singer--to express him/herself without artificial reservation: think The Sisters and also Perrate with Diego del Gastor, and Caracol with Melchor. Having a wide repertory also is a plus, in my view, because I often want to hear something other than the Sturm und Drang of wrenching martinetes and siguiriyas. People like Rafael Romero and Niño de Almaden come to mind; even Manuel Vallejo. Often the listener's own mood is the strongest influence on what one wants to hear.

Flamenco tone , and the ability to 'lead' the song forward

Someone who smokes a lot , to get that authentic raspy sound

The best example of that is the album "Morrongo" featuring Santiago Donday accompanied by Paco Cepero.

I've never given a singer an autopsy, so I've never really looked inside.



Dudnote -> RE: What do you look for in a good flamenco cantaor? (Sep. 16 2015 23:40:31)

Someone who gives me goose bumps and shivers up & down the spine or brings me to tears.

Funny how any of these responses depend so much on the transient state of mind & awareness of the listener.



Anders Eliasson -> RE: What do you look for in a good flamenco cantaor? (Sep. 17 2015 7:08:13)

Someone who accepts when I make an error accompanying.[8D]



PauloK -> RE: What do you look for in a good flamenco cantaor? (Sep. 18 2015 9:19:20)

I must admit that I love letras with a lot of compas inside, letras sang with accelerations and decelerations for instance, Potito is a good example of that even though i'm not fond of his voice ..
