This review is from: Gypsy Passion: New Flamenco (Narada Collection Series) (Audio CD)

With apologies to Mr. L.K. Coleman and his utterly misleading Spotlight Review, this album does not pretend to be anything but what it is. Flamenco is a traditional form of music born in Andalusian Spain and created from Indian, Arabic, Jewish, Romano-Iberian and Celto-Iberian elements. GYPSY PASSION and its successors in the Narada catalogue are examples of Nuevo Flamenco or "New Flamenco" which is a style of Fusion incorporating traditional Flamenco, Jazz, Rock, Classical, and other musics. Either Mr. Coleman doesn't know about New Flamenco as a school of performance, or he's a purist who just dislikes it.

In either case, this album deserves five stars as a lively, engaging and pleasurable listening experience. And yes, "New Flamenco" has revitalized the traditional Andalusian form in modern-day Spain. GYPSY PASSION is absolutely worth your time.

This is what I've been looking for---the fire, the passion, the musical skill. The depth and quality plus variety of rhythms and moods make this a well rounded album.I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Captivating and sensuous to the last note!, July 12, 1999

I had really never heard flamenco music much before I bought this. My daughter's friend's Spanish class went to see a flamenco show in Trenton, NJ, and came back raving about it! My daughter then insisted that I buy it for her. Ever since then, I cannot get enough of it! It's BEAUTIFUL! I know it's not the traditional flamenco, but with the new modern twist behind it, it can bring in a whole new audience. I must say that the second track, Gipsy, is particularly excellent; yet, all of the tracks are exquisit in their own way, providing a variation of tempos and styles while still keeping the theme of the CD. After all, it is entitled Gypsy PASSION, and that's exactly what it is: Passionate! I would buy it five more times!
