Summary: Gypsy music theory done right 2008-01-30
Comment: This is a wonderful compilation of some of the best gypsy flamenco song I know. The Manitas de Plata songs blew me away. In English, it means "little silver hands." Silver is high in value, and so is the quality of the music. All odf the artist play the guitar super fast it's mind boggling. The music theory is good too. Flamenco is in the Phrygian mode which you'll find some examples of if you look it up online, but the best way to get a feel for this CD is to listen to the samples. On the review that got one star, the person complained about the screeching voices. I could see how the voices would be unpleasant, but the timbre was appropriate for the gypsy style.

Summary: Hypnotic and mysterious 2007-09-19
Comment: I had heard about this recording from flamenco aficionados, but was skeptical that a compilation would be true to the form. In fact, it is as if a complete evening of flamenco performances had been recorded live, such is the energy and spontaneity of the singing and playing. Listen to this late at night with the lights dim and a glass of brandy. You won't be sorry.

Summary: Down to earth Flamenco 2007-05-12
Comment: The performers on this collection are the cream of the crop of grass roots Flamenco. El Loreno's voice is simply mystical. La Paquera holds in her feeling the power and pasion of Flamenco in one person. if you love Flamenco this is a must.

Summary: This is not Gypsy Kings... 2007-05-07
Comment: This music was not at all what i expected. I was expecting a bit more fun guitar and such, but the singing is what blew it: it sounded like so much screeching to me. Played once. It hurt my ears. Now, its collecting dust.

Summary: superb flamenco classics 2007-03-12
Comment: If you want to hear flamenco at its very best you can't do better than to buy this CD. Manitas de Plata was the best of the flamenco guitarists of the 60's and La Paquera de Jerez was the signature female flamenco vocalist of her generation. The other artists on this CD are also the best of their times. Flamenco of our day still has technical virtuousity, but I can't help but think that something essential has been lost, something to do with the soul of this music form.
