I just read that Paco Serrano has released a new CD after 13 years. It is titled 'Catarsis' and according to his website is available for purchase. The MP3 won't be available until September. He also has a new method book which is due to be released very soon. I'll be ordering both. www.pacoserranoflamenco.com
RE: New album by Paco Serrano (in reply to Don Dionisio)
Anywhere any samples? I bought his previous CD. For that time beautiful compositions. Did he evolve to something different (w/o saying that it is pos or neg.)? Or same style? Im curious? Samples?
Paco was born in September 1964, and the Encuentro video was 1993.
I now have Catarsis. He doesn’t seem to have posted the contents list on his website, so here it is:
1) Rumba al Sur 2) Fandango «Cruce de miradas» 3) Minera «Agua, fuego y sangre» 4) Tanguillo «Tunante» 5) Alegría en Sol 6) Serrana «Reveses del alma» 7) Colombiana «Silencio entre dos» 8) Soleá por medio «Isla de las esculturas» 9) Bulería «Soñarte cada día»

RE: New album by Paco Serrano (in reply to Paul Magnussen)
Unbelievable! While reading this topic the postman stood at my door with a nice green envelope which came all the way from Cordoba (Spain) to the Netherlands. And guess what is in it....Paco's new CD 'Catarsis'. When the Cd only sounds half as good as his previous CD 'Mi Camino' then I am a happy man. But I am sure it's another juwel worth waiting those 13 years.
Damn.....promissed my girl-friend to go shopping with her.....but want to listen Paco. What good excuse shall I use?
RE: New album by Paco Serrano (in reply to Don Dionisio)
i'm waiting for mine too but i should just say that 25 Euros is expensive for the CD! There is no other way to have it ( like iTunes for example) they sell it only by a bank transfer. When i asked about the new book, they replied saying that it will be soon available on Paco's web site.

I tried to convince his partner, Olga, to accept Paypal but for some reason she did not want to do that. Bank transfers get expensive and are time-consuming.
also you can buy the DVD and/or the CD with a credit card as a paypal guest (ie. you don't need a paypal account) via his website http://shop.pacoserrano.org/tienda/
As far as I can make out most of the material on the DVD and CD are different so I am looking forward to hear some folk here play some of the tracks from the CD.

a Great Album without any doubt !! most of the pieces are catchy, they hook the listener from the very beginning IMO Paco was up to the expectation, I was expecting something at a high level and thats what I found in his new CD. as Paul mentioned it's an album to be proud of, paco is a truly phenomenal player.
