about

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 earliests examples of Flamenco music recorded; brutal and exciting music, that easily combining the known and the darkest (legends), is more accessible and attractive for the audience that is approaching for the first time.

And with this “pop” spirit, let’s say, to look for a good song above all: this is a collection of Smashers and Cannon Shoots.

Lovely singing and great music. I can really feel the emotion behind each song and how it's sung. The mix of east and west sounds is very inspiring. Long before we had wars we had each others music and were drawn to the sound. The music is beautiful. VUKARI

I have loved the dixie Humming birds since the 1960s, but have never heard their early work--amazing. Listening to all this wonderous harmony and spirit comes close to restoring my lost faith in Christianity. ronspin
