Great list, Ricardo. I'd also throw in Jose Manuel Leon's album "Sirimusa", some albums by Juan Carmona (e.g., Caminos Nuevos), Canizare's "Noches de Iman y Luna", Myrddin's "Lucia Nieve" and "Novar", and Pedro Sierra's "Nikelao" and "El Toque Flamenco". As far as singers, I have a soft spot for Juanito Valderrama, though again, Ricardo's list is pretty great and exhaustive.

Jeez, overload much, people? These posts must be completely overwhelming! If I didn't know any flamenco, I'd find the list in the original post more than enough to get started on. Start with those guys and see what you like. Maybe you prefer the older style - guys like Sabicas, Diego del Gastor, and Paco Peña on your list. Or maybe you prefer the more modern guys like Paco and Vicente. I'd add Gerardo Núñez and Tomatito to that modern list as well - they're on the same level. Then you can start exploring from there. Here's a suggestion for a good/representative album or two for the modern guitarists I just mentioned. (I find that the albums by guys like Paco Peña and Sabicas tend to be fairly similar to each other.) People may disagree with some of these choices. But, these were by and large the albums that got me into these guys' music when I started to listen to flamenco, so I'd recommend them (biased, of course) as good introductions! Paco de Lucía: Almoraima Vicente Amigo: Ciudad de las Ideas Tomatito: Paseo de los Castaños Gerardo Núñez: Andando el Tiempo; Jucal There. Start with those five discs and a couple by, say, Sabicas, Paco Peña, and Diego del Gastor (for him, probably best to search YouTube) and you'll be busy for quite a while! Then let us know what you liked and we'll steer you in the right direction
