Funny you mention, I was just listening to that album he did with Vicente, “Encuentro” and realized I don’t really care for Potito that much anymore! He hasn’t aged well for me.
I think that’s right. Moraíto is two albums earlier, on Mía pa los restos, and it would make sense son Diego would record afterward.
I’ve never cared for the sound of his voice or the way he uses it, although, because of that, I haven't listened to him all that much. I thought he was younger but it turns out he’s the same age as me.
Is anyone ever keep note of any other tracks he accompanied early on in his career?
Not many Cd's mention the accompanist on each track and I find the Diegos early accompaniment was special.
I have a disc called Jerez Joven, with Chiqui, Juan Zarzuela etc. But he plays exactly like his dad. I first saw him with Macanita in 1999 with his modern style in full display (Pueblo de Cazalla), so maybe he recorded at that time? His hot buleria appeared first accompanying Niña Pastori. I learned that version of the falseta but later he recorded it on his solo album and changed it, and honestly, the first version was superior. He has a nice falseta also on Diego Cigala’s Picasso ablum, but frankly the cante on that track is not good.
for what i understood (Diego) he isnt professional , only part time , he works as a administrative ("paper" office work) full time , is this true? maybe i understood wrong
I don't know. But he can't be a great guitarist with incredible tech and brilliant musical feeling if he is an office worker. He is so creative, and his fingers have magic. I think that he needs to practice more than 8 hours per day to get where he is now
he regrets for his lack of dedication in the past..., and currently the doesnt reverse previously (days for example) the gigs, only warm up.....
I didnt understood why he was telling that (his lack of dedication in the past) because hes great , but yesterday i think that understood. I was finishing a paper work (social (i)migration etc) and i put Diego as background music , i almost didnt notice that he was playing diferent stuff. His playing style is allways the same ( i enjoy but..) , his phrases with power chords are allways the same ( i enjoy a lot but..) etc
