Cante nerds! Is this as well-informed as it seems to be?

http://idiom.ucsd.edu/~moore/flamenco/camaron.htm

It seems sound but the conclusion is a bit milky. I'd have preferred him to name the guilty, i.e. tell us with whom he is taking issue.



Escribano -> RE: Camarón (Sep. 3 2017 11:26:45)

Looking at the HTML this page was created some 20 years ago. Just saying.



Morante -> RE: Camarón (Sep. 3 2017 15:21:26)

Very few foreigners ever get to understand flamenco like John Moore. Everything he says in this article is correct.

Perhaps he does not go far enough: Leyendas del Tiempo marked two things: Firstly, Camarón´s contact with the Madrid musical movement which was a result of the cultural liberation after the death of Franco, and spawned such mediocrities as Alaska.

Secondly Camaron fell into the hands of Ricardo Pachon and Antonio Humanes, who were more interested in making money than making flamenco.

It is notable that the records became more and more pop, while Camaron´s public performances with Tomatito were always tradicional flamenco (vis Nuestro Camarón).

Indeed it is thought that Camaron turned up to record these records to find that all the tracks had been previously recorded and the guide cante had been laid down by Pepe de Lucía.

Camarón, being a genius, only had to listen twice before recording his unique style of cante.

John is not taking issue with anybody.

Ah yes and the references stop at 1995. Ahem. That'll teach me. I had a date filter on Google scholar (after 2017) but evidently it doesn't work for HTML pages like this.



Brendan -> RE: Camarón (Sep. 3 2017 16:12:14)

Thanks Morente, that's exactly the kind of contextualisation I was hoping for.

Moore does spend his concluding section rebutting charges that have been laid at Camarón's door, so in that sense he was taking issue with whoever it was who made those complaints. But this is not important.

Probably because there is no date meta-data. It appears to have been written in Wordperfect on a PC running Windows NT and uploaded with Netscape Communicator (Netscape 4). That is consistent with around 1997.

All the best operating systems are dead [:(]

At this day and age, no need to dance around the fact that the guy was a drug addict and might have needed a little help in the studio since time=$ after all. Many fans consider those last recordings to be his best after all.

Here you can see him getting coached on sevillanas by Isidro...I am sure he couldn't learn weird letras in 2 hearings or whatever nonsense [8|]
Throughout early part of interviews but good spot at 1:46 and 7:20:

Is this the John Moore that used to live in the Bay Area, and was married (if I remember correctly) to the dancer Sara Olivar?

I think so. He used to bring a group of students to Cádiz every year and we became friends. I think he might have moved to Granada.

I guess this must be the same John Moore who translated A Thousand and One Stories of Pericon de Cadiz.

Quite tempted to get a copy now having read that Cameron article.

Here’s a photo from 1987: it’s a Flamenco Society performance at the Sun Gallery in Hayward, California. L to R:

Roberto Zamora, Luis Ángel, Anita Sheer, Solomón, John Moore, Alicia, Ricardo Orellana.

Luis and Anita were the founders of the Society.
