Ricardo -> RE: Essential Flamenco Recordings (Sep. 19 2008 6:10:42)

Baile-Carmen Amaya Cante- Paquera de Jerez, Terremoto de Jerez, Borrico de Jerez (as mentioned), Terremoto jr, Luis el Zambo (he is from Jerez[:D]). Basically like Anders said, singers from Jerez are good. I also like Maria Vargas (she is from Sanlucar, but that is like 20 minutes from Jerez[:D]) Camaron is good too. But older recordings I like better. My favorite cante resource is the video series RITO Y GEOGRAFIA DEL CANTE FLAMENCO. The new DVD's have subtitles in english. You can buy just one at first to start to get a taste for what it is all about. Guitar-Ramon Montoya, complete recordings, Sabicas flamenco puro, Paco de lucia FANTASIA FLAMENCA, Fuente y Caudal, Siroco, M. Sanlucar TAUROMAGIA, Gerardo nuñez JUCAL, Vicente Amigo VIVENCIAS IMAGINADAS, Tomatito Paseo de los Castaños. Ok, happy listening. Also go to YOUTUBE and search these names if you don't want to run out and blindly purchase CD's and videos. BUT I think it is important to start collecting stuff regardless. Ricardo
