and yet from this post it sounds like he has and continues to play Paco's pieces - Right, but your question and my response was regarding, specifically, modern bulerias post 1980. The older pieces have been in my rep for a long time because, in that regard, I approach it as the âstudentâ much like Paco himself did back in his teens and twenties. He recorded the N. Ricardo piece in 1971. I didnât start learning flamenco until I was in my 20âs so I have worked on complete âpiecesâ well into my 40âs. But the truth is, most of the repertoire (not the rumbas which are open ended improvisation geared tunes that function on my gigs with my group) on the list was learned because I had to learn it note for note in order to teach my students. In the case of Fiesta en Moguer, the fandango I made a tutorial of, I had at first intended to only do a falseta or two, but I got really into âfixingâ the score compas wise, so I ended up going through the entire piece. My main point is that the REASON you donât find what you are looking for in abundance on youtube or wherever, is because PDL himself treats Buleria in particular on a falseta by falseta basis, and those that follow him try to do the same. See Samuelitoâs excellent take on Pacoâs modern material, he does a great job of doing it like Paco wants us to do it, even though it is all note for note paco, he has mixed and matched the ones he enjoys. That is the beauty of flamenco vs classical guitar in all honestly. I am always stealing Bach falsetas for example and no classical student would ever do that. It is the âflamencoâ thing to do.
