Lucerom -> RE: Any Ojos De Brujo Tabs? (Feb. 15 2006 0:02:24)

Escribano – I kinda figured that Ojos might be shunned by some of the traditionalists in here, but I thought I’d throw it out there. Thanks for the heads up and for stepping up to say that you are an Ojos fan.
Duende/Henrik – I can’t wait for their new CD release on Feb 20th. I’ve already checked out their new sound bites on Flamneco-world.com. Can you play that son Tesro?
A word to the close minded:
While I thoroughly enjoy and respect traditional flamenco, I think we should keep our minds and hearts open to fusion groups such as Ojos de Brujo and Gipsy Kings. After all, isn’t there a category in flamenco called “Toques Libres” (a.k.a. Non-Rhythmic Styles) such as Mineras, Tarantas, and Granadinas? Wouldn’t Rumbas and Rumbas Catalanas fall into that category?
After all, what would Rock n’ Roll be like today if we never experimented beyond traditional rock like Elvis, Buddy Holly, and the Big Bopper? Are the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and U2 not considered rock, because they were born outside of the USA, or because they add distortion, play faster, and do not have that Rock-a-Billy look?
Here’s a new quote for the traditionalists, “Think Outside the Cajón”.
