Great stuff Sonhouse.
That first Berta Rojas song reminds me of the intro music to the classic Orson Welles film "The Third Man". Though I think that was played on a zither.

Great duet at bottom too. Do you have any good Flamenco suggestions?

Here is Pepe Romero:



Sabicas with orchestra Sabicas was one of the greatest flamenco guitarists ever. Pepe is damn close!

Here by himself, Malagena by Albeniz



but here is the master, Sabicas himself:



Sabicas doing Malaguena:



Sabicas doing his own Arabian Dance



There are a lot of great ones, like Paco Pena



Here is Paco on the Alegrias a set form of which is only one, like Buleras.



Manolo Sanlucar :



And a 9 yo Flamenco prodigy: Spanish only, talks with narrator. Then plays the hell out of guitar!

Those are just a few of the real geniuses of flamenco, like Paco De Lucia, RIP now way too early. One dude I really liked when his first record came out was stage named Manitas De Plata, a Catalan player, very unique style.

here is a full 45 minute concert of him from 1975



And one even earlier, 1968:



His first TV show: This time only Manitas



And another treasure, Paco De Lucia on a show in Mexico, he died a few years later



Another full show of Paco:



Paco put a more modern twist to Flamenco. A great man.

I found this absolute traditional master, Juan Serrano and here he shows two different dances, Solea and Buleria:



And this one explaining Arabic influence:



That last was called Zambra Fantasia written by Juan, but here is a classical guitar take by Isaac Albeniz played by Fabio Zanon: Zambra Granadina.



Fabio Zanon is Brazilian, I have to show him off to my daughter who teaches music in Brazil at University level.

Here he is playing a pure classical piece by a Polish guitar virtuoso from the 1800's, Brobowicz, composed this piece, Grand Polonaise opus 24

Just out of curiosity, is this an audio book? Otherwise it would be hard to listen toπŸ™‚ I read another SF about post war robots helping humans, forget the name now, read too much SF.

Speaking of the great Leonard Cohen, here is a classical guitar duo, Stephanie Jones and Jacob Schmidt, youngsters from Australia doing Cohen "Hallelujiah"

Very impressive for kids so young or old!

This is a magnificent homage to Leonard Cohen!
Oddly enough, I've just been listening to 'Death of a Ladies' Man'. (Leonard Cohen, produced by Phil Spector and released in 1977) I probably haven't heard it for twenty years, and I still think it's a great album, despite not being a total LC freak.
