Eduardo Rebollar

This guitarist gave a very interesting interview which just went up in English at:

http://www.deflamenco.com/indexi.jsp

He's outspoken about the tradition vs. fusion issue, defends both Antonio
Mairena and Pepe Marchena, and has clear ideas about how to learn cante
accompaniment.

Estela,

Thanks for sharing that article. If I had known sooner, I would have tried to enroll in his cante accompaniment class in Los Angeles this week.

Sounds like he's got a good method for it.

Great, Zata,
Eduardo was my favorite teacher at the Fundacion this summer. It's nice to hear him talk... he is an outstanding teacher of cante. Many of the other students had tried to learn cante before, and remarked at how he was the only one who could really explain to them how it worked, not just tell them, "do like I'm doing." Not that he could tell you what beat of the compas it was without difficulty! He and the other teachers told me what I needed to do was start playing with dancers, ASAP! When he was showing me a tangos strum, he had me hold down the left hand and he did the rasgeuo with his right, and I was having problems holding on!

He is a magnificient performer, although not a virtuoso-type player, and when I saw him in the Caves at Nerja (where I snuck in pretending to be a caterer!--but that's another story) his presence completely overshadowed that of Enrique Melchor. His love of cante and the incredible, almost childish amount of fun he has playing come out well on stage. And he's a real nice guy.
