I happened to read a small 2 line ad in the paper here of a free concert by a flamenco guitarist last weekend, so I went and checked it out. He was awesome! It was just him, a rythym guitarist, and a guy on percussion (bongos, cymbals, and such). I bought one of his cd's and had him sign it...listening to it all this week, I'm even more impressed. Instrumentals with blazing fast lead runs, melodic chords, and tons of rythym. Apparently he's actually a chart topping, award winning artist. I'd never heard of him, but that doesn't mean much. Mediterranea is the album I purchased...so if you're into that kinda music, I highly recommend it if you see it at a store, or if you wanna order it.
