Paco de Lucia - Cositas Buenas - Listening to this album inspired the beginnings of root. I
don't know where to begin about Paco. Amazon reviewers have it right
when referring to the master guitarist's work as 'Mephisto-like
technique' and 'probably the finest album Paco's put out since the
seventies'.
Carmen Amaya- La reina del embrujo gitano - Esflamenco.com
writes 'The most temperamental, tragic and passionate figure in
flamenco dancing was also capable of expressing the captivating emotion
of the gypsy race as a cantaora (flamenco singer).' There are a few
tracks where one can even here the sound of the dancer's feet. A
classic for any afficianado of the artform.
Radio Tarifa- Temporal -
Named after a ficticious radio station, Radio Tarifa fuses North Africa
and Spain in multi-layered grooves that create a new form of fusion
for other bands to aspire to. Listen closely for Afro-Cuban and
Mediterranean influences as well.
