Free Music Review: Top-flight modern flamenco
Hit: 5 Stars
Raw-boned, energetic Spanish flamenco, with a warm stylistic twist. Guitarist Raul Rodriguez introduces the double-stringed Cuban tres guitar into the flamenco ouvre, and the cross-cultural experiment pays high dividends. The mellifluous tres, which lends itself to melodic improvisation, adds a fluidity to the ofttimes severe flamenco style, while the crushing muscularity of flamenco gives the tres a bit of a goose, demanding it be played with more authority and force. Mostly, though, this is a traditionalist album, with Rodriguez and his cohorts taking up the mantle from one of Seville's master musicians, Diego del Gastor, who developed much of the group's repertoire. If you enjoy flamenco with its original raw, elemental power, the thunderous chords and keening vocals, then this electrifying debut will knock your socks off. Recommended! (DJ Joe Sixpack, Slipcue music reviews)
Son de la Frontera Poster
It's rare to find an audio album that utilizes a dancer to great effect, but there is occasionally a flamenco effort that captures the rhythms and excitement of the art form. Son De La Frontera is such an effort. A tribute to the groundbreaking guitarist Diego del Gastor (1908-1973), the album features his songs performed by a top-flight quintet. Dancer Pepe Torres is a true artist here, not only tapping out complicated time signatures but also eliciting a broad array of sonic textures from his feet. Along with two percussionists (one which occasionally sings), the group also features precise but fiery playing by Raul Rodriguez on Cuban tres guitar and Paco de Amparo on traditional flamenco guitar, giving the songs a broader steel-and-nylon-stringed palette that is both Old World and New. With no gratuitous use of electronics, the real innovation here is the exceptional abilities of the players and their broad faith in these great flamenco songs to create breathlessly exciting music. ?--Tad HendricksonInternational Music CDs
