Customer Review: Good intro to a flamenco master
This short, unsophisticated film lets the guitar, clapping hands and tapping feet tell the story of the Flamenco Guitar master Sabicas. There is no narration, just the compelling and intricate passages of the guitar itself and some fine dancers interpreting this ancient art. The blending of cultures represented in Flamenco is easy to see in this presentation. I enjoyed it.
Customer Review: Wonderful, but very short.
The best flamenco guitarist ever or at least tied with Paco de Lucia and tiny handful of others. He plays with wonderful feeling, fiery performances, a real Maestro. One bad point, very short performance. The DVD is just half an hour long. They need to release a longer DVD of his genius. “BUY NOW”
