Ambient Flamenco

I can't I'm afraid!

'Ambient Flamenco' sounds absolutely horrific, rather like impaling my eyeballs on cocktail sticks. I wouldn't want to inflict that on you or anyone else!

If you are new to Flamenco and want some reccomendations within the genre I'd be happy to provide some.

Non-flamenco-snobs may now take over and provide some noodly reccomendation ;)

I love the music, Bottleneck. Hit me . .
 
Here's a few from my humble collection-

Azaham- Paco Pena with Tito Lasada (Nimbus). Classical in a recital setting;
Gypsy Flamenco- Manitas de Plata (Vanguard). A quote from author John Steinback from the cover: "A great and savage artist." There are several volumes to this date. Pick one with a Bulerias, for sure;
Querencia- Mayte Martin (Virgin). A bit of a favorite. Excellent recording, also, as is:
Flor de Piel- Martirio (Sunnyside). Soulful vocals with excellent accompaniment;
Flamenco, Pasion and Duende (soul)- Gino D'Auri (World Class). Some classic (the opening track will nail you to your chair listened loudly) and some modern variations with cellist David Darling;
Lastly, a little Portugese variety called Fundos: Branco- Cristina Ulisses (Decca). Lovely all around.

Enjoy, somebody.
