Performer Notes

"New flamenco" isn't so much a revival of flamenco tradition as it is a melding of flamenco guitar with new age musical sensibilities. That means that while it's still passionate and rhythmic, new flamenco is also a bit more polished and controlled, especially in terms of production. Its primary audience overlaps with contemporary instrumental and adult alternative listeners. Guitar Greats: The Best of New Flamenco is an excellent introduction to the style, featuring many of its biggest names: Ottmar Liebert, Strunz & Farah, Jesse Cook, Govi, Young & Rollins, Lara & Reyes, and more. Some of the artists incorporate non-flamenco ethnic music into their compositions, while others lend a more meditative air to their still-emotional playing. Eclectic adult listeners may discover a new favorite style here. ~ Steve Huey
