Ellipsis Art has released three CDs, each highlighting a different facet of flamenco. They are accompanied by an extensive booklet with a lot of background information. The first CD Passion gives an overview of flamenco singing. You can hear the young Camerón de la Isla, the successful Enrique Morente and singer La Niña de los Peines. The second CD Magic explores the flamenco guitar tradition.
You can of course hear Paco de Lucia, but also lesser gods like Tomatito and Losadas. The third CD Exploration highlights the developments of flamenco rock with songs by Ketama and Pata Negra, among others. An overview map of Spain and an explanation of the most important flamenco terminology makes these CDs a beautiful, perfect sounding document of a still vibrant musical tradition. (GO)more
