Editorial Reviews
Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune
Some of the most handsomely rendered ensemble music of the season. The compositions themselves ... stand front and center.

Product Description
Straight-ahead jazz moods and orchestrations reminiscent of Gil Evans with simple melodies played on top of rich harmonic backdrops.

With the dizzying array of recordings on the market claiming to be flamenco, it's hard for someone looking to discover the music to figure out what the music is, let alone which of the thousands of records available are worth the price. For both novices and those wishing to expand their knowledge of this Afro-Andalusian-Gypsy music, this three-CD set with a detailed and entertaining book is a must. From the deepest, most heart-stomping roots to the slickest pop crossovers, this set has endeavored to distill centuries of evolution into a few hours, and actually succeeds rather nicely. Whether your taste is for the simple guitar and palmas accompanying the raw, wrenching voice of Terremoto de Jerez, the Afro-Spanish explorations of Toumani Diabate, or the youthful exuberance of Pata Negra's flamenco rock, this set has it covered. Important artists are given a wider listening (the Paco de Lucia tracks offers a traditional bulerias instead of the jazz fusions he is well-known for). The whole set would be worth its price just to hear the gorgeous tones of La Niña de los Peines, whose voice was one of the wonders of the flamenco world. Her 1930s recording included in this set is priceless. --Louis Gibson

Customer Reviews:

Consider buying the second disc, "Magic," separately.......2000-02-12

This is an excellent collection of flamenco music. There are three discs; one comprises mainly singers, another artists who are stretching the genre into new areas, and one, called "Magic," is dedicated to guitarists. This last one is the only one I listen to. Granted, I am a guitarist with an interest in playing and listening to guitar-centered flamenco. However, I would guess that many associate flamenco with dazzling guitar playing. And that is what this CD offers with most tracks having a level of recording clarity often absent in flamenco compilations. The tracks, particularly the more recently recorded ones on the front half of the CD, are all truly amazing. This is easily stands out as my favorite flamenco compilation. If what you like about flamenco is the flashy guitar playing, consider buying this CD by itself - they are all sold separately.

Good flamenco roots in rock n' roll form.......2002-03-21

Great flamenco-based guitar work and some very catchy songwriting make for an excellent album that is far better than most anything being produced in the english-speaking music world at this time. There are two secret songs hidden past the last track on this album that are puro flamenco, para el aficionado del flamenco mas autentico. An enjoyable album that holds up well over multiple listens and does not grow stale at all.

Infusion of Fresh and New Flamenco Fusion.......2000-08-10

This latest CD by Los Martires Del Compas serves up emotions that are at the same time raw (vocals by Chico Ocana), bittersweet (guitars by Julio Revilla and Manuel Soto), and with salty longing (bass by Jesus Diaz Benjumea) all in a flamenco-tinged stew. The first song "Tu Hielo" ("Icy"), evokes an Andalusian sunset whose rays illuminate Moorish memories......[Sigh].

ti mozza il fiato!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-05-10

Questo chitarrista è GREAT, non ha bisogno di presentazioni, simply THE GOD OF GUITAR.

great work!!.......2005-10-19

I've been following Paco de Lucia since i was 11 years old, but i haven't had acces to his early work 60's and 70's and this record was an excellent example of how his work started to grew up.

An essential and ground-breaking recording.......1999-12-04

This is what I call Paco's "break away" album. Paco was already recognized as the most technically accomplished Flamenco guitarist ever, the "rising star" of Flamenco, before this album's release. However, until "El Duende Flamenco," Paco had not fully developed his own, distinctive "toque"; i.e., a unique style and, most important, a full set of unique creations.

It is difficult to impart the impact this album had on Flamenco in general and on Flamenco guitarists in particular these more than three decades later. I will never forget the first time I heard it, lying on the floor of a small apartment in Madrid in 1972, the year the album was released. The first cut, a zapateado, was one of four cuts on the album where Paco plays with an orchestra. Arranged by the knowledgeable and very talented Jose Torregrosa, it instantly revealed Paco's musicianship and musicality, which were of such a degree as to place him head and shoulders above any other Flamenco guitarist, past or present.

Two times before an attempt was made to place Flamenco guitar with an orchestra, both of which were musical failures. One was by Sabicas, who was a great guitarist and innovator, the other by Carlos Montoya, a fraud when presented to the public as a virtuoso. In both cases, however, they played what they always played while a composer sought to build an orchestration around them. In contrast, Paco plays here WITH the orchestra, and his compositions (in addition to the zapateado, a farruca, a guajira and a rondeña/canastera) are just that: Complete musical compositions. With a few notable exceptions, until Paco the majority of Flamenco guitarists just strung together a collection of falsetas ("riffs"), but here Paco created themes to which he constantly returned in multiple variations. (His inspiration for this "compositional" style of flamenco were those "few notable exceptions": Sabicas, Mario Escudero and, most notably, Esteban Sanlucar.) Particularly at that time, the overall effect was startling.

The next cut was an alegria uniquely played in a minor mode, and it was a revelation. Again, an entire composition rather than a string of falsetas, major seventh cords which had rarely before been used in Flamenco, and other innovations. To anyone with a depth of knowledge about Flamenco, "genius," in the truest sense of the word, came to mind.

By the third cut, a rondeña, there were tears in my eyes. The rondeña was made into a guitar piece by Ramon Montoya several decades before, who made the innovation of tuning two strings differently (the base E down to D, the G a half-step down). Until this recording, every rondeña played by any guitarist was essentially a variation of Ramon's original creation. Paco's rondeña changed all the rules, and once again added a depth of musicianship that had for the most part been missing from Flamenco.

Every single cut on this album was revolutionary for its time, and with it Paco almost single handedly raised the Flamenco guitar to world-class - and the musicianship necessary to play it.

One other thing should be noted: Paco was only 24 when he made this recording. "Genius" is, indeed, the word.

Having revolutionized the small world of Flamenco artists and aficionados, the next year Paco would catapult beyond those small confines and achieve true national popularity in Spain with "Fuente y Caudal" (pieces of which have been re-released under many different names, such as "Entre Dos Aguas," named for the most famous cut on that album). And it was all due to a caprice: When he finished that album in 1973, there were a few minutes left, and Jose Torregrosa, Paco's regular producer at Phillips, suggested that he play a rumba Paco had been experimenting with, using bongos and an electric base (neither of which had ever been used before in purist Flamenco recordings). Paco obliged, and Torregrosa, always with a nose for what might sell, made it the first cut on the album. That one cut, Entre Dos Aguas, created another revolution beyond the bounds of Flamenco, of which Ottmar Liebert and his minions are a direct result - much to Paco's and all other aficionados' chagrin. But that's another story.

Bottom line: This album is a "must have" for any serious collection of Flamenco recordings. It can arguably be called the first recording of "new" Flamenco.

This CD is about the Flamenco Muisic, not about technique.......1999-09-08

Every track on this CD is a superb musical masterpiece - most have orchestral arrangements in the best modern classical taste. The pieces themselves are the best examples of the "golden" era of Paco's compositions. This is not flamenco dance music - the whole CD is more "classical flamenco" (there is no singing at all - just pure Music). I would say this CD stands out among all of Paco's CDs.

Good, but no Siroco.......1999-02-19

The last 4 tracks on this disc are great. The others are less of a showcase of Paco's immense talent. All things considered, it's worth picking up.

Something to play early on or on the way down. Nice.

Good Stuff overall!.......2000-03-02

First let me say Duende is my favorite song from the Karma album (which is my favorite album of currently 1187 audio CDs, but that version does not play well on radio because of the long intro. This album version has a shorter intro period before getting into the song fully. The spiritual collapse remix is also a very good rave-type dance version, but it would be hard to tell it from the original. In conclusion I recommend this CD single, especially if you like techno-dance type music. It gets 4-stars only because, I'm harsh and like the album version better.

It takes you on a magical journey........1999-04-03

This is a wondeful C.D, the album version is the best having many foreign sounds in it. The others are just a s good, bur are a bit long, but it's still great.

Good single, strange mixes........1998-09-16

First off: if you read the promo copy for this group that said how much Enigma fans would like them, and went looking for them based on that, this is probably not going to be to your taste. That said, it's still a decent single in its own right. The album version has nicely poetic lyrics, layered vocals, and lovely atmospheric music. The remixes, unfortunately, won't do much for you unless you are a fan of club music, and they do drag on rather too long. It's not that they're bad, it's just that they don't seem to have any place on the single. The upside to all this is that at least one of the tracks should move you. And for the price of admission, one's good enough.

Conjuring the aroma of jasmine, wafting on a warm southern breeze or moonlight on the sandy beach of a gently rippling ocean, these arrangements of well-known favorites evoke feelings subtle, sensual... suave. Supported by an ensemble including latin percussion, piano, sax, flute, sitar and fretless bass. Mr. Arizaga's impeccable fingerwork on the guitar greates a performance soulful and seductive. Reminiscent of a balmy summer evening.
