An excellent best of no 2 Cds, including the greatest hits of the artistic couple who revolutionized the flamenco: Lole Montoya and Manuel Molina. This artistic couple never produced orthodox flamenco. The very sweet way to sing of Lole and the direct manner to play of Manuel have broken all the flamenco patterns. Manuel was member of the Andalusian rock group Smash (with Gualberto). From this...

The best from their six discs on this double CD: Sé De Un Lugar, En El Lago, Tu Frialdad, Quiero Contarte, Abre La Puerta, Una Historia... 24 songs but also the surprise of this launching: a DVD that includes the documentary "Una Historia", directed in 1995, with frames of Triana (from 1974 to 1981) and opinions of the carismatic and closer figures of the group: the producer Gonzalo...

Lole and Manuel always took things at ease; with a calmness that hid a revolution. Lole's cante, sober and sweet, and Manuel's guitar, straightforward and masterful, broke with established flamenco. Thanks to their poetic lyrics and worldly spirits they won over a diverse audience. This Cd has the song 'Al Alba Con Alegría' (1980) which was dedicated to their daughter.

Lole and Manuel's music is not progressive nor symphonic rock but it is part of the birth of Andaluz rock. Their music was not conventional nor classic flamenco, it was about being at the forefront of flamenco with a new rhythm. Their pastoral lyrics were written by the poet Jose Manuel Flores, who broke the mold of sour and sorrowful lyrics from conventional flamenco by composing sensitive ones...

'Blues de la Frontera' is considered one of the best records released in Spain in the 1980s, not only in terms of flamenco. It is the beginning of a kind of sound that the Amador brothers christened 'blueslería'. It is also the last album that the Amador brothers recorded together. After 'Blues de la Frontera', Raimundo left the band and Rafael continued on his own. As the title itself...

The brothers Raimundo and Rafael Amador (Seville 1959 and 1960) created a mixture of flamenco, blues and rock & roll that seemed the most natural thing in the world. Their recordings from the eighties are unanimously considered the best spanish pop music of that time.

Inspiración y Locura (Inspiration and Madness) is the first record by Pata Negra without Raimundo Amador. His brother Rafael is left as the band's only member, with whom other musicians cooperate.

La Barbería del Sur lead the second wave of New flamenco bands and picked up right where Pata Negra and Ketama left off, bleding flamenco with other latin styles and jazz. In many aspects there haven't been any other recordings better than the ones La Barbería made with Nuevos Medios. The member's deep flamenco roots and and their spontaneous sprinkles of jazz, latin and african rhythms yielded...

Triana's day came. The band's day came when Jesús de la Rosa, undoubtably the band's creative engine, died in a traffic accident. Many believe that had Jesús survived the band would have delivered a return to style from the first three albums. It's simply guesswork, however, given that there's no proof in this album for there to be returning styles from the past. There are some very good...
