And as he says and we all know, guitar is enslaving.
Just saw him tonight with Qawwali flamenco. He was working hard being the musical director, communicating between the groups, cueing the singers, at the end of some pieces he had a sigh of relief, then asking for more guitar in his monitor, having to keep tuning the damn thing, and with all that he was also playing the guitar very well. What a difficult thing it is to play flamenco guitar at his level.
It was a great night with beautiful singing. Faiz Ali Faiz and Melchora Ortega were great. It seemed that the singers were really inspiring each other to go deeper. Tomas de Perrate sang an outstanding tonás.
Wow, I am surprised they still do that project. The impression I got from their interview was Chicuelo was frustrated because of the harmony aspect (in that, they don’t use it and Flamenco is clearly not Eastern music in this sense what so ever, and the forced blend reveals the clash), and Faiz was concerned with mixture of profane and Spiritual lyric material (is this not some type of Blasphemy??). Sounds like there is still those issues going on. Were Duquende and Poveda still involved or did Perrate replace someone?
