Morante -> Favourite tocaores (not guitarritas) (Jun. 8 2025 16:25:33)

Merchor, Cepero, Moraito Chico.

Any opinions?



Ricardo -> RE: Favourite tocaores (not guitarritas) (Jun. 8 2025 16:52:33)

Melchor's son is underrated. I love Manuel Morao. Juan Gandulla was essential.



silddx -> RE: Favourite tocaores (not guitarritas) (Jun. 8 2025 19:27:14)

I really dig Diego del Gastor. That guy is so damn funky. Shame there's so little of him recorded.

I love this particularly.




Richard Jernigan -> RE: Favourite tocaores (not guitarritas) (Jun. 8 2025 21:38:55)



Melchor and Mairena, both in top form.

RobF -> RE: Favourite tocaores (not guitarritas) (Jun. 8 2025 22:19:43)

Maybe not exactly what you're looking for but Paco and his brother accompanying Camarón produced some lovely stuff.




Richard Jernigan -> RE: Favourite tocaores (not guitarritas) (Jun. 8 2025 23:22:31)



Cepero and Aurora Vargas por bulerias. Still one of my favorites.

Mark2 -> RE: Favourite tocaores (not guitarritas) (Jun. 9 2025 16:38:29)

Antonio Carrion, Antonio Higuero, Paco León, and one of the greatest flamenco guitarists, Manolo Franco

Manolo Franco


agreed, also underrated IMO.

Greatly enjoyed that, thank you. What a voice.



devilhand -> RE: Favourite tocaores (not guitarritas) (Jun. 9 2025 18:25:52)

Melchor de Marchena, Moraos and

Juan Habichuela

I’ve always played for cante, because I like it more than guitar. I always play without getting in the singer’s way, since I like it so much I don’t want to spoil it, so with rare exceptions, that’s my thing.

I have a cassette !!! with Diego accompaning Joselero on one side and a guitar class by David Serva on the other. And a book on Diego by Angel Sody de Rivas. 2nd ed 2004[;)]



orsonw -> RE: Favourite tocaores (not guitarritas) (Jun. 9 2025 23:42:38)

I second that opinion.



estebanana -> RE: Favourite tocaores (not guitarritas) (Jun. 10 2025 3:20:34)

I have a fondness for Pedro Bacan, and old boys Paco -

Aguilera and Perico del Lunar, because that’s the greatest name ever. Plus Savid Ferva and The Morao clan

You lucky chap!



Morante -> RE: Favourite tocaores (not guitarritas) (Jun. 10 2025 14:46:11)

If I can find anyone who could convert a cassete to CD I will send you a copy[;)]

Enormously kind of you!

Perhaps it could be digitised into an audio file. But please don't go to too much trouble.

Cheers!

or play the cassette nice and loud on your stereo, film it with your phone while thumbing through any photos in the book, and load the video to YouTube or somewhere else.

OMG, are there many more of these out there I haven't seen yet?
Thank you for this one Orson.
Luis Habichuela, not Juan.
Underrated?

Quite cheeky of you to list Farruca 😂



Piwin -> RE: Favourite tocaores (not guitarritas) (Jun. 11 2025 5:48:44)

I guess he isn't one of the big names, but Paco Javier Jimeno is up there among my personal favourites.






estebanana -> RE: Favourite tocaores (not guitarritas) (Jun. 11 2025 13:58:51)

If Robert DeNiro were a fat tocaor
