Niño De Elche (deconstructed flamenco)

yeah I was wondering when you'd get to this

http://www.elmundo.es/cultura/musica/2018/07/18/5b4eed3ee2704eba4e8b45ff.html

interview in el mundo about authenticity and cultural appropriation. does anyone know who he's referring to with the 'three kings/magi' thing?

cosmic folk allusions correct; reminds me a LOT of Richard Dawson

xp to ogmor That would be the Spanish equivalent of saying father christmas doesn't exist, no? Since the magi bring the gifts in Spain.

ah! ty, getting obsessed with this record is proving to be highly educational

seeing him moan abt the taxi strike on twitter I come to the sad realisation not even heterodox flamenco is left unsullied by politics, there is no escape in 2018. it's a great album but, at least through google translate, he's a pompous bore

nunca sigas a tus héroes

he's such a turd.

following him on twitter provides an interesting window into the workings of contemporary spanish complacent chauvinism.

his stuff on cultural appropriation was eyebrow raising but now i see him revelling in his provocations and defending ppls rights to make jokes about gypsies, a fuller and uglier picture has emerged. being full of shit is obv useful for an artist and I like this album of centrist flamenco

this is nothing compared to me still liking 'the voice of steel' by nokturnal mortum, last seen headlining a nazi festival

sometimes turds have tunes. hell, musical vision

ah the man is an asshole?

have been obsessed over this album all week, it's amazing. the scope of it. woah.

we only found out he was an asshole (of a common/garden variety) because we liked the music enough to find out

it really is a brilliant work

new album is pretty striking. i like it

appropriation and all

idk if I'll have the patience for the whole album but Europa off his latest one is sounding incredible, a sort of Spanish answer to Wire's The First Letter (the song) or something
