Title: Flamenco
Post by: Juanathon on 18 Jul 2007, 01:58
I was recently exposed to some flamenco music, and i need more. I don't really know where to start or where to turn. You guys know more about music than most places. Does anyone else listen to flamenco, (Spanish is no prob) or have any idea of where i could even begin to start with flamenco. Artist names would be great. THANK YOU

One of the better ones currently making music is rodrigo Y gabriella

Of course there are the classics;

Fernando Sor
Torres
Julian Bream

That should get you started, I doubt you'll find much of this around on the net, its classical music and thus hard to come by! But good luck

I'm not sure if this is what you want... some albums are just straight out funk... but do you know any Seu Jorge?

If the idea of Flamenco combined with metal interests you check out Breed 77.

Thank You for all the info. I'm a big fan of Rodrigo and Gaby. although i'v seen them get pissed in an interview about people saying they play flamenco. Paco de Lucia is a master of the guitar, thank you. Im gonna go and try to find some of the other ones. :mrgreen:

Well i guess it comes down to how classical you want to get. Strictly speaking they don't play flamenco, but for most peoples interests they do. I can understand why they wouldn't want to be called flamenco though.
