Enrique is a superior artist and highly underrated. Either people sort of forget about his work or consider him PDL wannabe but not as unique as his peers like Tomatito or Gerardo. His album Cuchichi for me is a master piece. The encuentro vid is exceptional, though he is a very shy teacher, can't play slow like Nunez but it's the typical Andalusian thing. THe ending concert footage gives you a lot to take home regarding accompanying the typical camaronero. I find his music very inspiring even though I spend much more time studying other players. Finally, the scene with Melchor talking with pride about his son in Rito y Geografia and the look on his face as the teen Enrique rips out that solea brings me to tears every time. Sure they are two very different kinds of players from different generations and literally bridging the traditional with the modern style as father and son, but the evolution itself seen right there is really beautiful to me, and both are superior artists IMO. Glad to have met him briefly before his death. agree. except I was initially put off Cuchichi a bit by the flute and preferred "Bajo La Luna", although that has a bit of "atmosphere" added in the form of nasty 80's synth [8|] and over-reverbed both albums have great stuff IMO for anyone that doesn't know, the bulerias with flute that Ricardo posted vid of is recorded on "La Noche y El Dia" album - also good alongside Cuchichi and Bajo la Luna. Also one falseta from that bulerias is on the Encuentro vid, with a tremolo intro. for those that like less "modern"-ness Enrique's first solo album from mid 70's is very good. some of it is featured on the black and white videos on youtube that are also on "rito y geografia del toque"
