5.0 out of 5 stars The roots of Flamenco, August 26, 2009
This review is from: Early Cante Flamenco: Classic Recordings from the 1930's (Audio CD)
I should say at the outset that I don't possess this CD, but I do possess the two LPs from which it's taken.

To cut a long story short, this is a stunning collection: there's no one here who wasn't a giant in his day, either singing or on guitar. Manolo Caracol in particular was a major influence on Camarón, as Niño Ricardo was on Paco de Lucía.

These are the roots of Flamenco, pure and simple. If you're learning it, you can do yourself no greater favour than to listen to this album.

You will, of course, have to make allowances for the age of the recordings.

P.S. Kudos to Amazon for not only listing the tracks accurately (for once) but giving the guitarists too.
