with one hand, and with the other hand you scratch, you search.With
tradition you can go anywhere and run away, but without leaving that root since,
in fact, the identity, the fragrance and the flavor of flamenco are there.If you haven't played well and the critique is positive, or vice versa, you stop
respecting the critic.The New York Times told me off, but
I was impressed by the truth it said.Isla, Juan El Lebrijano, Matilde Coral, Paco Cepero,
El Farruco...Spain, and would even say in Europe.Somehow, flamenco
represents Spanish culture, even if many people do not like such a globalization.Is success based on brainwashing the public?The artist wishes to
be understood, to communicate and to prove that he holds a truth.Maybe the success is to brainwash the public.Do you thing that
the more you have access to the majority, the less you are yourself?Does money symbolize the fulfillment of one's duty, the signal that you have offered
to the world what it wished to have?To live within a society
and within a system is like a game where money means that you win: you get money
for doing something everybody likes.One has to know how to value money because it's easy to
fall into the trap of wanting more and more money despite having more than the
amount you can spend.In
the past, the artist was surrounded by the silence conspiracy.Nowadays, the artist
is surrounded by the clamor conspiracy.Oporto, a small parrot
entered in my room.We became friends, I trained it, it would stand in my shoulder,
on my guitar.If the Devil
is valid, then long life to Devil!In my work with Larry Coryell,
John McLaughlin or Al Dimeola, music was neither flamenco no jazz,
it was a fusion of musicians, not of music.His marriage with sensitivity has bore
fruits, nineteen records.Perfectionism is the
flaw of his apparent cuirass, and an extraordinary quality is the germ of his
damnation.Do you pursue the
muse and leave her a message?When you are inspired, the ideas seem to flow
better, but you have to take the guitar every day and scribble on a sheet of paper
to see if anything comes out.People are basically
the same no matter what we do.The fact that I play the guitar does not give me a title,
because when it comes to work I am a worker.Others, besides being artists, work in an artistic activity.Even if they do not
have a technique, they know why they do it and how they do it.He also knows that
the need to express something in public is a secretion which can only be excused
if it is innate and that it cannot be cured.He
says he has never tried to be the first one, never tried to run faster than the
others, but simply to walk his way, without hitchhiking, even though luxury cars
passed by him.Now I only work

Concierto de
Aranjuezin 1991, he had never learned how to read
musical notes.While learning to play the Concierto, as a flamenco
guitarist, where rhythm and pace is essential, he preferred to risk
giving the listener a 'dirty' note when being forced to go from a
low note to a very high one, rather than to displace the rhythm and
pace just to keep the note clean.He felt that as a flamenco
guitarist, he could interpret the Concierto in a fashion not
previously done. |
