RE: What are your top 3 flamenco albums? (in reply to Strudl)
El Camaron De La Isla Con Paco.
YES Ron.
I find it really difficult to listen to because Paco's playing is so incredibly flawless, like he couldn't make a mistake if he tried. Breaks my heart.

Well, they change all the time, but right now: Only cante I know, but here you get some of my favorite guitarists as well:
1) Antonio Mairena: Actuaciones historicas (Melchor de Marchena y Enrique de Melchor) 2) La Paquera de Jerez (Parilla de Jerez y Manuel Morao) 3)Camarón: Arte y Majestad (PDL)
I´m currently looking for a great album with a great singer and Paco Cepero... Any sugestions?

quote:
Are you talking about the Chant du monde series... The white ones? And are you sure its with Cepero... He must have been VERY young
Yes. Borrico was an amatuer singer until 1967 when he won the Copa de Jerez or some award. He went to madrid to record for the first time after that. Paco Cepero has been around for a while accompanying great singers. He also accompanies La perla de Cadiz in that series I think. Another great recommendation.

I have just one buleria por solea (Mira si soy buen gitano (killing title..)) of Tio Gregorio with Cepero (on Master of flamenco vol.2) y es fenómenal !
