INTERVIEWER: When you broke from strict flamenco tradition back in the ’60s, your Nuevo Flamenco style was criticized by purists. These days, that term is being used to describe a whole variety of hybrid flamenco styles that have become very popular throughout the world. How do you feel about that?


PACO: There are many opinions about so-called “new flamenco,“ which includes things such as pop-flamenco, flamenco-rock, and flamenco-jazz. This is all bulls**t! The only evolution of the flamenco comes from inside the traditional flamenco guitar players and singers and dancers, and not from somebody who comes from another world. You know, yesterday someone was a rock player, and today he wants to be flamenco, so he makes a “new flamenco.” Many of these guys with their rock-star hairstyles and clothing are mostly just bluffs. That’s okay, and I accept what they are trying to do, but to make myself perfectly clear: I tell you that to create a new flamenco, you have to begin as a flamenco.

koella -> RE: Paco Interview (Dec. 27 2006 22:43:32)

I wonder if there's something about cante in that magazine ?[>:]

Uhm...what is it called ?
Oh yes "guitarplayer". Maybe they should change their name to the benefit of the real flamenco's.



sonikete -> RE: Paco Interview (Dec. 27 2006 23:36:48)

I was wondering more about what the "great American flamenco guitar master" Sabicas would say about the "cajén" and using old recordings of "Camerén de la Isla" to play his "falsettas" on a computer.

Nice to see that someone sees the humor in it [:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]



JBASHORUN -> RE: Paco Interview (Dec. 28 2006 17:26:19)

The funny thing is, you don't hear Al Di Meola saying that "a Flamenco player can't play innovative Jazz" just because he happens to specialize in another genre...

sonikete -> RE: Paco Interview (Dec. 29 2006 10:06:35)

But i dont see how a flamenco guitarist would be able to innovate jazz if he knew as little about it as ottmar or benise knows about flamenco.

Flamenco comes from Andalucia and i think people are getting fed up with seeing the tradition prostituted by clueless guitarhero wannabes and greedy marketing people.

I think ottmar sold more records in the u.s than paco has.
