Some video clips of Pepe Habichuela on Spanish TV, recently uploaded to YouTube.
"Too traditional for the modernists, and too modern for the traditionalists". Así me gusta.

Solea por bulerias ('Remate')


Siguiriyas ('Amanecer')


Solea


Alegrias ('Recordando Esencias')

Whats the tear-shaped instrument in the siguiriyas vid? surely not a lute of some sort?

Wow love that Seguiriyas! Really moody (as opposed to the desperate style ones). Those Arabic-looking drums really add something cool. Though cool is not the word I would use to describe that flowered shirt and pink jacket in the interview.

Bash I don't think it's a lute, though tear-shaped. Its back is flat, where I think lutes normally have a bowl shape, and certainly early music lutes have a lot more strings - 12 or 14. But maybe this is a variation, or cross-over instrument. Anyone else know?

It's a mandola - apparently a sort of large mandolin tuned like a viola. One of Josemi's specialities, adds a nice sonority here and there, you can hear it e.g. on the remix of Tomatito's 'Rosas del Amor'.

Ailsa, I recommend Pepe's album 'Yerbagüena' where there is the ultimate (so far) version of that seguiriya, a long arrangement which includes Guadiana's singing and various Indian musicians both melodic and percussive, it's great. Worth it for the one piece, although of course there is other lovely stuff there too [:D]
