5.0 out of 5 stars Los Mejores Gitanos, November 20, 2000

This review is from: Viva Flamenco! (Audio CD)

In the mood for some flamenco? Put this on and you'll know that besides the beautiful Espanola on the cover the CD has substance. This a compilation featuring 14 different artists playing nearly a hour! An excellent choice if you're in the mood for some authentic musica Espanola. Each artist is talented beyond words and just a joy to listen to. The frenzy, passion, colors of Jerez, families rooted in gipsy traditions, rhythmic, melodic, eclectic, improvisational, spontaneous and most importantly bound by tradition music is a wonderful representation of the state of the musical genre. The greats are here, featured artists include possibly the best , Paco de Lucia, Pepe Harbichuela and a host of others hailing from diverse locals and backgrounds. The booklet gives you biographical information on each artist and what CD the songs come from. A non stop tour de force this CD is awesome and shows the true character of Flamenco with only momentary side excursions into nuevo flamenco. The vocals and castanets are authentic . The challenge for the listener is to able to distinguish the styles of each player. That said I guess I'll get many listens out of this CD. Until that day when I go to Espana and sit with a bottle of Rioja at a sidewak cafe I'll listen intently. A learning experience taught by the masters I look forward to years of listening to this CD

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Group Of Guitar Players, February 12, 2002

Good Group Of Guitar Players. It would've been fantastic to add to the list the musical group NovaMenco.
In their new CD "FORTUNE TELLER'" NovaMenco is introducing more and more fans to this new style of flamenco.
