Hello, I'm Teo and I'm a 22 year old guitarist from Croatia. I've been playing for flamenco for around 5 and a half years and I look forward to posting here!

Here's me trying out a song by Serbian artist Adil which has a flamenco solo live:

Welcome friend! 1st Croatian member?
Thanks for sharing your playing!

How's the flamenco scene in Croatia? I am travelling to Croatia in June for the 1st time. Not for flamenco, but family holiday.




Manitas de Lata -> RE: Just joined (Apr. 26 2025 10:46:33)

welcome

I also had a Paco Castillo , sold my 214F last month , and i really enjoy it.




silddx -> RE: Just joined (Apr. 26 2025 10:47:03)

Welcome to the Foro, Teo. Nice picado and ligado!




TeoFlamenco2 -> RE: Just joined (Apr. 26 2025 13:18:19)

I might just be the 1st Croatian member, but I don't know haha :D

The flamenco scene here is almost non-existent, except for a few people, and they're not unlike some cryptid creature; your musician friend swears they've come across one on accident in some coastal town or island and they played something otherworldly haha.

But there's a few prominent aficionados, Teo Mandžuka being one of them, he's a guitarist from Rijeka. Nina Ćorić is a singer and organizer of most flamenco events in Croatia (we have international events here and there) and that's about it. I try to be more public with my instagram/facebook and I've just started posting on youtube for the first time in a long while.




TeoFlamenco2 -> RE: Just joined (Apr. 26 2025 13:20:07)

Awesome, Paco Castillo guitars are worth way more than their market price tbh. Mine already came with a pretty nice setup but I might lower the action just a bit more




TeoFlamenco2 -> RE: Just joined (Apr. 26 2025 13:22:24)

Thank you :) I mostly use ami picado, had a nasty injury on my i finger so it's hard to do 2 finger stuff




TeoFlamenco2 -> RE: Just joined (Apr. 26 2025 14:12:32)

The cryptid comment might've been too vague; so maybe if I re-tell a story one singer-songwriter once told me it'll clear up;

He (the singer-songwriter in question, plays a nylon-string) was playing on the street once, when an innocuous older guy comes across him and asks to see the guitar he's playing, to maybe try it out.
The older gentleman then proceeds to play something so mind-blowing the singer can't even try to put into words what he saw or heard, after which the older guy tells him he was PdL's student and leaves with little to no explanation.

I've also heard of an older gentleman on the island of Korčula playing both PdL and JohnMclaughlin compositions (so both a finger and a pick player).

The way they show up out of nowhere, the way my musician friends describe them, it's almost like they're some sort of unicorn hahahaha, but I've never seen anyone too impressive personally, though I have not come across the previously mentioned players.

"Cryptic" is the word. Paco De Lucía had NO pupils, including his own nephews that joined him on stage. Of course he gave advices but was not a "teacher" as were other maestros such as Manolo Sanlucar or Gerardo Nuñez. People claiming to be his students? "cryptic" indeed. [:D]




TeoFlamenco2 -> RE: Just joined (Apr. 28 2025 20:41:48)

Yep, I really don't buy any of the people that claim to be his students
Same with the one that shall not be named (I might've just joined the forum, but I've known about it for years and I remember the old posts)




Richard Jernigan -> RE: Just joined (Apr. 28 2025 22:10:42)

Merriam-Webster Dictionary:

CRYPTID

noun

cryp·​tid ˈkrip-təd
plural cryptids

: an animal (such as Sasquatch or the Loch Ness Monster) that has been claimed to exist but never proven to exist

TeoFlamenco2 -> RE: Just joined (Apr. 28 2025 23:08:52)

So I should've either said cryptic creature or cryptid, haha
But yeah you'll occasionally hear some story/legend about a superb flamenco player and you dont know whether to believe it or not
