Format: Audio CD
José Mercé is probably the most popular male flamenco singer in Spain today, particularly since the death of the immensely popular and now legendary Camarón de la Isla. And deservedly so: His voice has that edgy "rajo" (raspy, scratchy) prized in flamenco, particularly for the gypsy-style of singing; he is a completely formed singer with a thorough knowledge of all the cantes; his "palo" or "compás" (rhythm, timing) is always flawless; and he has that ability, when he's really "on," to give his audience that other-worldly, goose-flesh sensation. You can see him in Carlos Saura's "Blood Wedding," the first movie in Saura's flamenco trilogy. (The other two are "Carmen" and "Amor Brujo.")
This was an extremely popular album in Spain, Mercé's best and most commercially successful. But that's for a very good reason: It's not for nothing that his accompanist, Vicente Amigo, is given prominent billing on the album's cover. Vicente both composed and helped produce the album, and it's his superb playing that gives this album its sparkling quality from beginning to end. (See my review of Remedios Amaya's "Me Voy Contigo" for more notes on Vicente Amigo.)
This album is another example of the importance of pairing the right singer with the right guitarist(s). Flamenco is a "team sport," and invariably, the combination of singer and guitarist will either enhance or diminish the performance of both. The same holds true when you add dancers to the mix. For example, if you can ever find them, compare the legendary dancer, Carmen Amaya's, first albums with her father and brothers accompanying her, with the albums in her prime with Sabicas as lead guitarist, another legendary figure. The difference is night and day.

From Spain. I heard Jose Merce singing from a few feets in a couple of times. This CD is one of his best performances in his life. Every person who likes flamenco has to have his one. From the whole music that I have this one is probably the one that I most heard.

If you could own only one contemporary flamenco album, this should be the one. Put it in your CD player, close your eyes, and feel yourself transported to Andalucia, to Seville, you can almost picture the flamenco dancers performing as you clap your hands, you can hear the gypsy guitar players... I discovered Merce on my last visit to Madrid and believe that this is one of the best flamenco albums ever. A great mixture of latin passion, traditional flamenco guitare sounds, and a modern feel as well. This is the real thing from Southern Spain, where Flamenco was invented. Great for parties, for creating atmosphere, even for learning Spanish, but perfect just for listening and letting the CD take you to Spain.

This is a must-have for anyone who has an interest in flamenco. This album is a collaborative effort between two of Spain's most deserved popular and beloved flamenco musicians- cantaor (singer) Jose Merce, and tocaor (guitarist) and producer Vicente Amigo. Together they have masterfully bridged the gap between true, authentic flamenco, and the mainstream flamencoesque pop music popular in Spain today. This is an incredible album. Jose's beautiful raspy, lamenting voice is not to be matched among flamenco singers today and Vicente Amigo lends his trademark polished sound to this masterfully created album.

If you're curious about flamenco, this is a good place to start.
