another link if you're desperate as Amazon seems to not accept orders from certain countries (like mine)...this one is finnish though so it'll only be helpful to a few people out there...

I have on order from flamenco-world so I'll be able to scan booklet - ordered a week ago and it still hasn't shipped though, maybe they're waiting on the items, or maybe just flamenco-world being slack (wouldn't be the first time).

i can't believe how good is this solea por buleria.

OMG the last loop "riff" is just the most awesome theme i ever hear (as good as my fav of E. Morricone)...a representation of heaven imo.

May i ask for the key?

His new solea por buleria is too brilliant for words.

Great, fresh harmonic and rhythmic ideas.
As far as Groove and Tone, it doesnt get any better. Or at least i cant imagine anything better.

He stays on the lower end of the volume dynamic. Lots of finesse, and focus on sound. No bashing. I can just see Jason telling him he needs to play harder.

haha

OLE!!

i stopped judging the sound of recorded albums since i discovered that a soft arpeggio can be almost as loud as heavy strumming (with string buzz and all that).

I make it - tuning similar to rondena but with additional b top e strings down a tone - i.e. open D chord. The key would be C# (phrygian) relative to capo

Why, in this day and age, can I not purchase the tracks for download??? I don't want to order the physical disc from Spain or Europe. I have far too much music to store the discs that I do have, I don't want more. I should be able to download it! Amazon.uk has it, but it doesn't let me download them because I live in the US. I have been looking for this on Amazon (in the US) and on iTunes, but to no avail. C'mon folks, this is the 21st Century! Am I missing something here?

If you like that, have a listen to Montse Cortes' solea 'Lloran Al Lao Mio' from her album 'La Rosa Blanca'. At the end he plays the same loop with her singing over it. His playing and her singing are great on that album.

I cant belive that Diego really played "El aire que me llega"...Seems way too difficult for his technique...

There are some phrasings and picados...man man man.. I would like to know how much energy they put into editing that..

... Or Diego is just better than I assess him..

He is, Doit. I've seen it. His blessed big hands deceive us just as his father's talons do the same. He is really this good and dynamic. PdL himself described him as one of the best guitarists in history, so...

He is beautiful.

^^ yeah, I believe. I don´t think that the pros cheat. I saw Diego 2 times. One time flamenco with cigala and the second time this south american stuff together with piano and diego. Awesome player.

Excellent that you figured out the tuning xirdneH_imiJ, how did you go about doing it?
And its an odd tuning for a Solea is it not? Has anybody here know of any other Solea's that are tuned in such a manner?

RE: Diego del Morao's album approach... (in reply to Rain)

there was a discussion about this a few months ago, at first i thought it was a rondena tuning but there's a youtube video that proves the tuning...

there aren't many oddly tuned soleás out there, the only one i can think of right now is Gerardo's Soleá de la Luna Coja...

there's also a topic on flamenco-teacher.com where somebody asked about different tunings in flamenco so i tried to gather everything i know of - http://www.flamenco-teacher.com/forum;jsessionid=7DC90E40B3F5A34241C7E596F0844350?do=show&disp=64623

Don't forget Templo del Lucero from the same album, with all the basses tuned down a half step.

I'm in Canada as well and have scoured the web many times looking for it.

Tried purchasing from other foreign sites (after using Google's translation tool to determine what each item on the page means) and am told I can't purchase from this region.

Why is this not available anywhere in North America?

I even considered purchasing it in CD format from Amazon.com or Amazon.ca and they are both sold out.

What gives?

The best North American mail-order store I've found is flamencoconnection.com. Shipping is 5 or 6 bucks, whereas ordering from Spain shipping costs as much as the CD. Check it out.
