Temas flamencos vol.1

A rumba delight. This piece requires no technical prowess on the part of the right hand.

One of the few seguiriyas in the modern repertoire. The mood of this palo is remarkably well captured. Although Quique Paredes, who passed away too quickly, leaves a discreet legacy in guitar production, his style, both limpid and incisive, represents the very essence of the flamenco toque

Juan Habichuela, perhaps the greatest accompanist of cante, has left very few solo recordings. Hence the particular value of this granaína, a unique testimony, a model of classicism and orthodoxy, and a tribute to his native land

Unfortunately, this piece is not included on any recordings. It was with this prodigious composition that Niño Joselé entered the La Unión competition in 1993. I have transcribed it from a recording made on the spot. The video of this exceptional moment can be found on the Internet, if you look hard enough

Moraíto will be remembered as the absolute master of bulería, magnifying the festero character of this style, born in the streets of Jerez. Moraíto de Jerez, or Jerez de Moraíto?

This fandango is a composition of some scope. Isidoro Carmona made a name for himself as an outstanding accompanist to the dance, notably alongside Mario Maya. Now deceased, he left only one opus, Aljarafe, with 8 tracks brimming with ideas as beautiful as they are innovative.
