The Stars and Superstars of Spanish Flamenco Guitar Music
Although there are not as many musical "stars" in the genre of Flamenco Guitar - those that do exist are as well known as their Rock counterparts. One guitarist in particular is recognized World-wide. Not only for his undeniable artistry, but also for his accomplishments in expanding the frontiers of Flamenco Guitar Music.
Paco De Lucia is undoubtedly "first among equals" in the pantheon of Flamenco Guitar Stars. His concerts have gained him an International reputation. Both with his sextet,and as a solo artist. Although he came from a poor family and received no formal musical education - fortunately, Paco was a child prodigy. That natural talent combined with dedication to years of practice, enabled Paco to begin his career at the tender age of 17. Accompanying the Dance Troupe of Jose Greco. Subsequently,Paco provided the musical background for the legendary Flamenco singer,Carmen De la Istra. A Professional realtionship that lasted 8 years.
Paco continued to elevate both his profile and that of Flamenco Music with the "trio" World tour and CD. The Trio being composed of Paco and fellow guitar superstars John mcLaughlin and Al Di Meola.
Paco's ability to assimilate,but not imitate other musical styles, while respecting Traditional Flamenco,has naturally influenced the current generation of Flamenco Guitar Superstars.
Three of the most progressive are not Spanish. And all but one are based in Canada. Oscar Lopez is of Chilean origin. Jesse Cook - a Canadian,born in France. And heavily influenced by the Gypsy Kings,who were once his neighbours.Add to the list,North Carolina's Lawson Rollins. Now based In San Francisco.
These guitarists,who continue to evolve Flamenco Music could not have become "stars" without the innovations and accomplishments of Flamenco's "Supserstars." The "pre-Paco" guitarists. It is their legacy that all of today's Flamenco Music is derived from.
Ramon Montoya,Sabicas,and Nino Ricardo. The three"wise men" of Flamenco Guitar,were responsible for establishing and popularizing the Flamenco Guitar as a solo instrument. Lifting it from a singer's amd dancer's accompanying role in bars and cafes. And it was these Superstars who first introduced authentic Flamenco Music to an International audience.
It was Ramon Montoya, Uncle of the renowned Flamenco guitarist, Carlos Montoya, who first liberated the Flamenco Guitar from it's role as an accompanying instrument to solo status. The son of a family of Gypsy cattle traders,Ramon Montoya's persistence and dedication were responsible for opening wider the door to solo Flamenco guitar Music.
Building on Montoya's accomplishments,and opening that door further was "Sabicas." After leaving Spain in 1936 at the outbreak of civil war, Sabicas played a prominent role introducing authentic Flamenco Guitar Music to an International audience. Sabicas was renowned for his exceptional technique and unfaltering sense of rhythmn. No doubt a legacy from his early days of accompanying dancers. He was also reputed to have perfect pitch.
Seville's Nino Ricardo is the 3rd of the "three wise men" of Flamenco Guitar. And the one whose History is the saddest. An accomplished composer with a unique performing style,owing to his upwardly curved fingernails,Nino died of liver failure at the age of 68. Perhaps aggravated by his early years of playing in Seville's bars and cafes.
Today,a new generation of guitarists are expanding on the legacy of the three Flamenco Guitar Superstars. One of the most innovative is Santiago Cortez. Combining elements of Jazz,Rock,Pop,Classical,Celtic and World Music,while continuing to respect traditional Flamenco forms. Santiago's impressive sense of melody is always in the foreground. Never overpowered by his formidable technique. Respecting and expanding on the legacy of the Superstars of Flamenco,Santiago is clearly in the forefront of contemporary Flamenco Guitar Stars..
