If I had only three cantaores to listen to, they would be La Nina de los Peines, Chocolate, and Fosforito.

The boxed set put out by the Conjunto de Andalucia, which sits on my shelves, is titled "La Voz de Estaño Fundido."

I don't think I could ever pare the list of essential cantaores down to three, but Pastora would definitely be on any list I would make, along with her brother Tomas Pavon.

Luckily we have recordings and many classics on youtube in order to develop tastes. Afición will probably last in some form, even if the singers can’t do it. In the far future will exist some small groups that try to recreate those classics.
