Who is Rodrigo? 
Does anyone know anything about Rodrigo, perpetrator of Gypsy Passions?

http://www.amazon.com/Gypsy-Passions-Flamenco-Guitar-Rodrigo/dp/B0000022A0/ref=sr_1_3?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1293061725&sr=1-3

The booklet notes contain the usual guff about his having been 'billed with the greatest Spanish contemporaries in Festivales de Cante Grande', but I'd never heard of him until I came across the album while doing a search on 'Flamenco' in the index of my local library.

He certainly ain't no Sabicas, but he can be quite imaginative; as witness this nice introduction to his soleares before he goes out of compás (see transcription).
