Yo soy un inmenso ignorante en casi todo. Y siempre he pensado que el remedio frente a la ignorancia son los buenos amigos. Hoy me lo confirma un mensaje de mi amigo López, que mi suministrador clandestino de músicas y que me ha puesto sobre la pista de un pequeño tesoro:
"Hace cuarenta y tres años, al maestro Sabicas lo liaron para que grabara un disco con el fumeta de Joe Beck, y a éste tuvieron que explicarle que el gitano de la guitarra no era mexicano, y que no iba to fuse rock and rancheras. Both are covered his nose, and recorded Rock Encounter. Breathed a sigh of relief when they finished the recordings, they parted courteously, and to himself, said that St. Thomas, one and no more.
With this maravillosisima zambra MESSAGE:this weekend, trying to save some of the hundreds of mp3 I have of the days of Napster on disks that are spoiling (meeting their "life cycle", more than ten years), I Rock Encounter met and passed me that you say that you think with some songs that you engage. I've been listening since Sunday. A perfect album, as flamenco and rock, with psychedelic air the years hippies and some palms and hassles that are reminiscent of old recordings of the girl combs, Vallejo, or Seville Fair in Prado de San Sebastian .. Without this album, Smash, Triana, Imam and Pata Negra Founding Fathers would have been the fusion of flamenco and rock. But there was one who did it before. "came
I was thrilled. Not that I do not go often, but this time with basis.
Del maestro Sabicas know everything already. Virtuoso, gypsy and Republican (Although the order d elos adjectives one can never be sure) that Pamplona is arguably one of the greatest masters of the flamenco guitar of all time. A guy straightforward. Speaking to El Pais, esu d shortly before death, said: "Flamenco is not only one way. The public often does not understand what flamenco is. If people like something, then you have to play So sing it. But when it is pure flamenco ... the truth will be any the or the world. No matter that at the moment do not understand, and speak of you. "
Sabicas was a gypsy fair. He became famous with the nickname he was given small for his passion for the beans. Like many old and famous Roma, was a vain. Some of their video recordings may only be viewed with the sound up high to make the magic of his mastery of the guitar prevents us look at the image, often wearing a wig is unfortunate that in any other, would have seemed almost ridiculous ( it is a classic of the gentlemen toupee, as the Administrator of the Faculty, blatantly ignoring the original hair color, usually gray, that remains, it seems that fear less the contrast between gray hair and this kills redhead bald cap them worthily that it itself).
As a virtuoso, say the experts, on the one hand, contributed "Unpublished technical resources to it: sting in the sixth, arpeggios across the strings, with the thumb alzapúas alone", that have been made definitively by all the great guitarists later. Another of those guys who know both speak of "thunderous strumming, flashing thumbs chopped and techniques, crystalline arpeggios and tremolos, chord amazing effects and intertwined." I spread sweetness, rhythm, balance. Hobble touches prodigious, very fast and very clean, it seems that technically perfect. What you hear and goes deep, and you understand.
is curious that in the world of flamenco guitar seems have a before and after Sabicas, but is always presented as competing with Niño Ricardo, traditional guitar, much less innovative but remained in Franco's Spain. It's one of those dualities that we love, the better known English, against the bright unknown abroad. That is, famously Paco de Lucia, summarizing his own path:
" I, until I discovered Sabicas, thought that God was Niño Ricardo, and somehow I learned from his school and his style, but when I met Sabicas, I realized that the guitar was something else. With Sabicas discovered a clean sound that I had never heard of also a speed hitherto unknown, and ultimately a different way of playing. From here, not that I forgot to Ricardo but I could add to my learning how to play Sabicas and transformed to make it mine. "Anyway, no one doubts that Sabicas, all self-taught genius invented Flamenco guitar today.
of its past as a precursor to the merger, however, had no idea.

turns out that in 1966 an American producer proposed to make an album Sabicas with Joe Beck half. He recently deceased, was a famous guitarist, but always second fiddle. He played with Miles Davis, Duke Ellington and James Brown, specializing in merger to become quite famous also for itself. In 1966, the flamenco-rock fusion or thought in Spain (impressive recall the visit of the Beatles with their monteras bullfighters and the chronicles of the time) although in the United States itself had certain experiences, rather attempts. They hired the meeting that three of the hottest musicians in New York of those days: a very young Tony Levin on bass, Warren Bernhardt on piano and Donald MacDonald on drums. All three groups played already known and have continued after his career accompanying famous musicians yet. In any If it was clear that the figure was Sabicas (much better known in the USA at that time in Spain) and Joe Beck acted as guest musician.
A Sabicas, so classic he was not enthusiastic about the idea, in fact stated that "I do not like rock or jazz. I did it because my brother Diego covering other areas wanted to sell more." Be why the American critics observed, correctly, that Sabicas goes free, that does not follow at all to the band. He plays his slips in between flamenco and jazz-rock of Joe Beck and artists. So rather than fusion is an infusion, a stuck other.
The result, however, is unique, original.
But apart from the fundamental sounds like the disk is to be included in any manual of such type and look like a stoned by the music without having to study. " More than one is that whenever someone talks about people type Ketama, the Delinqüentes or Bebe, Sabicas pull the disc to tell how old it is the merger. Others prefer to use for typical peleitas between music geeks, not finding discussions difíicl racy: if Sabicas disc not sold until 1970 and took a Splash in 1971 could not be backed that, if the Doors in 1968 included an item that was also flamenco fusion ... small discussion on the bobbin lace in history. Needless to enjoy Sabicas & Joe Beck.
