Paco del Gastor last night

At last night's Gazpacho festival Paco del Gastor played a mediocre solo to open, but then astonished everyone with his brilliant accompaniment of an all-Jerez cuadro. He not only was hot, but everything was tastefully loaded with great technique and great sound...hard to imagine anyone accompanying better. What a waste that he only teaches now. On the other hand, what a great opportunity for guitarists to learn from him. In case anyone still doesn't know, he's teaching group classes at Morón's cultural center, October to June, 4 hours weekly, 72 Euros, which works out to 50 US cents per hour. Anyone can take the classes and foreigners may take less than the 9 month course. You have to reserve a place by sending your name, address, passport number etc. to: Casa de la Cultura C. Ramón Auñón 41530 Morón de la Frontera (Sevilla) SPAIN Indicate that it's for Paco del Gastor's flamenco guitar course. I don't work for them, it's just such a great opportunity I hate to see it go to waste. Estela 'Zata'

Zata, perhaps you are right. None of my friends were Spaniards, though in their defense, and mine, we all have a lot of interest, though not expertise, in accompaniment. In the month in Spain at the Fundacion, I went to over 25 flamenco shows, including 3 festivals, and went from having no interest at all in cante, to a true affinity for it. I shall miss it! Luckily I have my Camaron, Chacon, Caracol, Mairena, Calixto, and Arcangel CDs to comfort me!
