Post Description

Originally a poorly recorded 1959 recording, the digitial remastering has accomplished a near miracle in making this a pleasant, more than satisfactory, album of flamenco guitar. Most of the tracks are very short [total of 32 minutes] and are of the lighter, free flamenco forms, more Celtic than Arabo-Anadalus or Gypsy rooted [evidenced by castanets in the Fandango, for instance]. One exception is Soleares Jerezanas. Jerez de la Frontera is the other main center, with Moron, of Gypsy flamenco. Here, this music, supplemented by a dancer and a second guitarist, is serious and regular in rhythm and has a strong Gypsy sound.
