13 ancient pieces of primitive flamenco music from 1930's and on. Audiophile transparent clear vinyl, CD included. Fully remastered. Flamenco music has been admired throughout the world for centuries. Fascinating unique, esoteric and mysterious, alloy of fire and witchcraft. Flamenco is much more than that. It has something of Folk, something of Sacred Music, something of "Blues": it is a unique music in the world, born of many factors and opposite and antagonistic elements, like its country of origin. And like other traditions, it's not just music, it's a way of life. This compilation also brings us echoes of that way of life and aromas of places that today seem distant galaxies. For the connoisseur, names like La Niña de los Peines, Manuel Torre, Aurelio, Carmen Amaya, El Niño Ricardo, Melchor de Marchena and others will make mouth water. As if that were not enough, underground gents such as Sarita Heredia and Pericón de Cádiz coexist side by side with these great historical names. Bearing in mind that they can never be all they are in one single disc; the selection of voices is exquisite: from the acute of Manuel Vallejo to the wounding of Angelillo or Manolo Caracol, and everything that fits in between... Fan of flamenco guitar, what are you not going to find here? Melchor de Marchena, Niño Ricardo, Sabicas, Borrull, Manolo de Badajoz, Perico el del Lunar...First swords! And the one who approaches flamenco for the first time must let himself be carried away by the brutally honest sensation when listening for the first time to Sabicas's guitar and Carmen Amaya's taconeo. There is a lot to enjoy here. The present compilation shows some of the earliest examples of Flamenco music recorded, brutal and exciting music that easily combining the known and the darkest, is more accessible and attractive for the audience that is approaching for the first time. With this "pop" spirit, let's say, to look for a good song above all: this is a collection of Smashers and Cannon Shoots.
