As a flamenco anthology, due to the inclusion of 18 canteand its corresponding touches, a historic recording meeting took place uniting the guitar of Augustin Castello Sabicas with the voice in Enrique MorenteAnd the bell rang, as they say, because that same year the Pamplona maestro said goodbye to us.
It was in 1990 when RCA decided to unite the destinies of these two giants of our art. The title was Enrique Morente & Sabicas – New York – GranadaIt should be noted that, on the one hand, Sabicas was no longer the virtuoso of his youth, but like fine wines his touch is imbued with flavour and substance. On the other hand, Morente's deliberate or unintentional alternation between publishing albums with more open aesthetic horizons and others with a more orthodox tone, such as the present one.
From such a vast work I can only invite you to listen to a few pieces. So I have selected a taranto in the tone of a rondeña, the unusual soleá Orange Blossom Sprig that the Granada native collected from Pepe the Matron, fandangos of The Glory, vidalita to Pepe Marchena and tangos. A varied sample.
When two great performers come together, art always benefits.
