I’ve never really enjoyed listening to flamenco.
But I love playing it myself on the guitar. It’s such a fascinating blend of Arabic, European and Indian musical traditions. And, incidentally, they invented the guitar. I doubt anyone will play with quite the same expressiveness as Sabicas any time soon. Enjoy.

Selection now playing: #Sabicas aka Augustin
Castellon, of Pamplona, Spain, guitarist. He left Spain in 1937 for Mexico and later, the U.S.

I made a guitar playlist w a lotta #GypsyKings and #StrunzFarrah and #LuisVillegas, and was told, You gotta listen to Sabicas!

Now to look up dates of 20th C Spanish revolution to see if his d partner is from that time.
