5.0 out of 5 stars This is the one to get, May 13, 2000

I bought two disks as an introduction to Nouveau Flamingo. The first was by Ottmar Liebert. I found it rather uninvolving and might have stopped there, if not for Gypsy Fire. It is by far the best introduction to the genre and I highly recommend it. If you don't love at least some of the songs on Gypsy Fire, then Nouveau Flamingo is not for you. I particularly recommend Gentle Seduction by Oscar Lopez, Cascada by Jesse Cook, and the compelling A Touch of Love by the Ramon Bermudez Group. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything else by the latter group, but the other two are represented on other CDs, so you can follow their work.

If you like New Flamenco (or Nouveau Flamenco, as it's also called) this is a good CD to have in your collection. But the title "Gypsy Fire" ought to really be "Gypsy Embers" as many of the pieces are more contemplative than rousing. Not a bad thing in a guitar CD, but this is definitely not hot dance music.

My favorite cuts were the last two, "Tormenta de Fuego" by Ruben Romero and Lydia Torea, and "Moonlight Dance" by James Bobchak. These aren't sampled here, but the samples provided do give a good idea of the more mellow tone of this CD. What's also nice is the selection of artists, from Oscar Lopez, to Ottmar Liebert, Miguel de la Bastide from Canada, and of course Jesse Cook, whom I think is my favorite, though really it's hard to choose. If you like New Flamenco, you will probably enjoy this CD sampler.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fiery and fun!, May 26, 2003

This collection of consistently lively, rich and sensual numbers features a variety of "New Flamenco" artists. Included are works by Oscar Lopez, Jesse Cook, Ottmar Liebert, Strunz and Farrah, Govi and many more. I'm not sure how this wonderfully Latin music ends up in the New Age section of the CD racks rather than World Music, since it doesn't sound "New-Agey" at all, but it's great to listen to regardless of its classification. Consistently compelling, "Gypsy Fire" is my favorite of the Narada New Flamenco samplers released to date. Other compilations in the series include "Gypsy Soul", "Gypsy Passion", "Obsession" and "Flamenco Fire and Grace".
