I usually do not enjoy flamenco singing mainly because I do not know Spanish. But I really enjoy this video of Diego del Gastor. His playing was so effortlessly beautiful. BTW, what palo is this? Hai

This makes no sense to me..... I own so much music that I don't understand a word. So if you don't speak Italian you can't enjoy Opera???

That's bulerias hombre![;)]

Wonderful.

Although he was good at all styles pretty much, Bulerias was "his thing", where he put his personal stamp.

Amazing Bulerias, I enjoyed it a lot.

my Spanish is ropey at best but I love cante, and it's not limited to flamenco as Lenador pointed out you don't need to understand Italian to appreciate opera. this, for me, was best described in a quote from the shawshank redemption:

Red: I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about.Truth is, I don’t want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I’d like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can’t expressed in words, and it makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in a great place dares to dream. It was like some beautiful bird flapped into our drab little cage and made those walls dissolve away, and for the briefest of moments, every last man in Shawshank felt free.

(I bet in your head you were reading that in a Morgan freeman accent!)

John, I like the quote, very nice.
While looking for more Diego del Gastor videos, I've found this video of Diego del Moron. This guy really enjoyed himself and it appeared to me that he improvised as he played. I like his music a lot, especially he played lots of falsetas in the low notes. Is his the same style of bulerias as with Doego del Gastor's? Real gitano flamenco? Thanks.




Leñador -> RE: Diego del Gastor video (Aug. 27 2016 22:15:08)

The low strings are referred to as "bordones".
The two are related and indeed gitanos but I wouldn't necessarily say "real gitano style". It is, but so are many other bulerias styles. The specific style they play is called Morón style because, well, it's from Morón. Lol
If you like it check out Juan del Gastor and Paco del Gastor.

Has that got anything to do with buzzing like bumblebees? (The French for those li'le criters is "bourdon").



Piwin -> RE: Diego del Gastor video (Aug. 28 2016 14:01:54)

I've wondered that. The word "bourdon" is also used for "drone" (like the drone of a bagpipe) so there could be some kind of link to "low humming". I've heard that it goes back to Indo-European but the rest of that information is in an unpacked box somewhere in the back of my mind.
