the guitar  Starts crying guitar. They break the glasses in the morning. Begins the crying of the guitar. It is useless to silence. Impossible to silence. weeps monotonously as water weeps, as the wind cries on the snow. Impossible to silence. Cry for things distant. Hot southern sands yearning for white camellias. Weeps arrow without target no tomorrow afternoon, and the first dead bird on the branch. ! Guitar Oh! wounded heart by five swords.

oh yea this is great....wonderful guitar!!!!!

I Love Paco De Lucia (Flamenco Chill Mix)

Miguel Poveda - ¿Y yo qué culpa tengo?

Grounded in authentic Spanish traditions, Calaita Flamenco Son’s innovative flamenco combines passionate vocals, awe-inspiring guitar virtuosity, intense percussion and jazz-inflected saxophone.  Diverse musical influences have infused this stunning debut album with exquisite hidden qualities.

Calaita Flamenco Son was formed by flamenco singer Chico Pere, guitarist Glenn Sharp and percussionist Leo Paredes. The trio soon expanded to include Diana Castro’s soulful Spanish vocals and Matt Nickson’s jazz-inflected saxophone.

Founding members Chico and Glenn composed most of the tracks heard on this beautiful recording. Chico draws inspiration from his childhood experiences in Triana, a neighbourhood on the western side of the Guadalquivir River in Seville, while Glenn Sharp, who crafted his incredible guitar playing under the tutelage of flamenco maestros Juan Martin and Francisco Morales, expands the sound via his multifarious fluency in flamenco, Turkish and Arabic music. Together they create a new brand of flamenco that is full of energy, spontaneity and experimentation, taking this most famous of musical forms in new and exciting directions. This is flamenco at its finest, by a group of artists who have incredibly diverse musical stories. 

Chico Pere is from a family of flamenco singers and whose history can be heard in the truth and resonance of his voice. Glenn Sharp has performed internationally with numerous acclaimed world music artists including Nitin Sawhney, Guy Schalom and Nizar Rohana, and has worked on projects in African, Arabic, Indian and Latin American music. These experiences have enabled him to subtly incorporate this musical knowledge and awareness almost subliminally into any musical project that he is involved with. This broader understanding of many musical styles and cultures truly sets his playing apart from other flamenco guitarists. The musical partnership of Glenn and Chico is beautifully illustrated on the track ‘En El Puente’ where the lyrics refer to ‘Triana’s bridge’ where the protagonist ‘gazed at the waters’. The guitar parts here are stripped back, but delivered with exquisite elegance and purpose and beautifully compliment Chico’s coarse and passionate vocals. Other flamenco palos nestle alongside sultry seguiriyas, lilting rumbas and fast-moving bulerías.

Calaita’s last two years have been jam-packed with gigs and tours across the UK and Spain. Venues that have welcomed the band’s headstrong flamenco grooves include The Bridgewater Hall and The Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester as well as El Parque del Salao and La Casita Papel in Spain. Calaita Flamenco Son is the group’s debut release on Riverboat Records and captures the spirit of their dramatic live performance, expressing perfectly Calaita’s mysterious duende spirit. The entire album was recorded intensively over three days at Wavelength Studios in the United Kingdom. The tracks were laid down naturally often without copious retakes, cementing the natural and organic musical feel heard throughout.

‘Un Mensajito’ is a up-tempo tango influenced track, driven by Chico and Glenn’s pulsing guitars. Matt’s trilling saxophone riff repeats throughout while cajon and handclaps add to the tight rhythmic structure. ‘Tu Mirada Flamenca’ (Your Flamenco Look), fuses traditional Spanish style with a ballad feel. Drawing on typical flamenco drama the lyrics are sung by one pining for his lovers ‘black eyelashes’ and ‘honey coloured eyes’. ‘Una Mujer Como Tu’ plays on the Latin flavours of a traditional colombiana and spotlights Chico’s bounding and leaping vocal range. ‘Entre El Tardón Y Triana’ is composed in a 12-beat traditional flamenco form called alegrías, this one in the style of an alegria de Cadiz with the familiar opening lyric 'tiriti tran'. ‘Que Lejos Está Japón’ is a traditional bulerías, the fastest and most energetic of all flamenco palos (forms). ‘Si Tu Me Cantas La Caña’ is an ‘ida y vuelta’guajira’, meaning it is a dance form that was brought back to Spain by sailors from the New World – in this case from Cuba. ‘Quedate Con Tus Anillos’ is a seguiriya, a form considered the hallmark of the most emotional and serious genre of flamenco, cante jondo. ‘Rumba del siete’ also draws on Afro-Cuban music that returned to Spain, this time the sexually provocative rumba dance is explored.

This is flamenco as you have never heard it before. Their vibrant sound presents the passion of traditional flamenco alongside the energy of flamenco rumba and jazz. Calaita’s unique sound is set to soar.

Descripcion de una obra que fue improvisada en un estudio de grabacion por el maestro Paco de Lucia. 
Todo un icono en la trayectoria de este gran maestro, inspiracion para muchos guitarristas en la actualidad.


La guitarra

Empieza el llanto
de la guitarra.
Se rompen las copas de la madrugada.
Empieza el llanto de la guitarra.
Es inútil callarla.
Es imposible callarla.
Llora monótona
como llora el agua,
como llora el viento
sobre la nevada.
Es imposible callarla.
Llora por cosas
lejanas.
Arena del Sur caliente
que pide camelias blancas.
Llora flecha sin blanco,
la tarde sin mañana,
y el primer pájaro muerto
sobre la rama.
!Oh guitarra!
Corazón malherido
por cinco espadas.
