As a result of infinite curiosity and a broad musical culture, Juanfe went from the guitar to the bass to delve into a long investigation of this instrument in flamenco. Thus, he has found his own language and technique, which he has been developing while collaborating on different projects and composing his own sound imagery.
Finally, he has captured his entire journey with the bass in his first album, Prohibido el Toque, a project in which he composed, arranged, and produced all the songs, nominated for the 2023 Latin Grammy for best flamenco music album.
Can’t wait to plug this into my stereo and turn it up to 11

I prefer my flamenco guitar spicy, doesn't have to be fast, should have some meat on the bones, can be raw or well done, as long as it doesn't sound like it's turning green on an elevator floor.
This came up on my music feed. What do you all think of this?
Solo five stringed bass...maybe Silddx would be interested (as a bass player). The guy sure can play, no doubt about that.
Fak me! I love it, wonderful stuff. So much passion in that. It's rare that I like anything like this, often feels like artifice. But this feels entirely authentic and full of heart. Thank you, Rob!
