Traditional flamenco.......2005-10-30

Judging from the comment made by DISAPPOINTED "N/A", it's obvious that he/she hasn't really listened much to flamenco and understood the traditional roots of the art form. If you're expecting flashy or jazzy solo guitar then forget it. But this is where flamenco started, ie. cante or singing. The live capture of cante is great and I see no reason why this should be rated poorly if people appreciate flamenco 'song' instead of focussing on flashy show-offs.

Don't waste your time - TRASH.......2005-07-22

Very disappointed. This CD is trash. I was expecting great music and what i received was a list of songs that all sound EXACTLY the same.

Excellente y mas!.......2003-03-24

This CD is one of the best collections for those occasions when you are sitting down to purely listen to great flamenco singing. All the major rhythms are represented here from bulerýas to soleares to siguirilla, and were recorded by five performers from the great flamenco dynasties of Andalucia. This live recording, a juerga, is not for the rank-beginner listener; it is for someone with a little listening experience who can appreciate the style and have the patience to listen to the raw emotional sounds that are the signature element of flamenco music. The 11-minute soleý by Josý de la Tomasa is a particularly intense piece and a sharp contrast to the exuberant 22-minute Bulerýas that closes the CD. Total time is 75 minutes.

The lyrics are enclosed, which is tremendously helpful even to native speakers of Spanish. The booklet also contains biographical information on the performers and some background on flamenco useful to anyone who has developed an appetite for this music. I strongly recommend against attempting to listen to this in your office, however, as the recording levels (as on almost all live recordings) are not condusive to this. You will miss too much if you are forced to listen to it at the whisper level required of people in US offices.
