Ramirez -> La Leyenda del Tiempo... "F*ck me!" (Oct. 2 2007 12:12:34)

Good lord - why has no one mentioned this before!?!

I've just discovered the tune (and the whole album) - absolutely incredible. I just can't stop listening to it.

I feel obliged to spread the word to those of you yet to discover this treat.

If you've not heard it before - let me describe the first 30 seconds:

Teenage Tomatito. Hippy Fender Rhodes follows. Funky jazz-rock drums and bass kick in. Camaron, with his majestic voice, starts singing Lorca poetry over a genius melody...

What's not to like?

Yet, unbelievably, the man's sales declined - gypsies taking the record back for a refund because it wasn't flamenco enough!

Shame they didn't stick around for the gut-wrenching solea on the second track...

Go listen now. Give me an opinion. Probably not a great post but this is the first time I've listened to Camaron and the experience is akin to descovering Paco many years ago...

This stuff makes me glad to be alive.

Isn't flamenco a truly life affirming art?

i have a weak spot for leyenda del tiempo as well as diego de moron and dieguitos spacy stuff. when done right, the mixture of flamenco, psychadelic drums and those analog keyboards just gets me. if the artistic quality is there, incorporating new instruments/genres doesn't compromise flamencos integrity, that's just silly imho. to me flamencos integrity is much more at stake when virtuoso solists go into dripping syrup and cheese mode, inspiring the likes of benise etc, and creating associations to puppy dogs floating around against a pastel background.

Ow yeah, definetly.....I can't understand why other people don't get it or don't love flamenco. They don't feel the emotions in the music.
I once tryed to put up a flamenco cd with friends. ....I shall never try it again :-). And there wasn't even any cante in it...:-)

Guys do you know where I can get hold of this? I've got a few by Camaron but not this one. Available on Amazon marketplace for about 150 euros, which is a bit steep for me! And Flamenco World says it's descatalogado, so no joy there either.



Ramirez -> RE: La Leyenda del Tiempo... "F*ck me!" (Oct. 2 2007 14:37:50)

Ramirez -> RE: La Leyenda del Tiempo... "F*ck me!" (Oct. 2 2007 21:54:22)

Estavan,

Thanks for that. I think your version just rid me of my euphoric feelings for the song.

cheers.

What a song, what an album! Funny, I was reading The Bacchae at the time for a class, right when I started listening to that song, and it really seems to very well capture "Dionysian Flamenco", if there's such a thing, you know? It has a kind of delirious craze, wild and joyful, to it that seems very Dionysian to me.

And yeah, flamenco is a life-affirming art, and a life-changing one, too. It helps one get in touch with their emotions in a very unique way. I can be sitting these days and get into another world, almost like a trance, just with a basic bulerias or tangos compas running through me - so imagine what it's like when I'm actually listening to the music, to Camaron or one of the other greats!
