O.k...I plan on adding a Flamenco song onto my website and I am looking for something subtle and sweet..This song would appeal to a mature, sophisticated group of people. These people would be potential clients thus the persona I am trying to project would be one of stature, class, sophistication and intelligence. I like flamenco but most of it seems overpowering. I like the sound but am looking for something a little on the softer side, almost like background music yet something that can grab your attention right away and keep you interested.

Try Lo Bueno y Lo Malo by Duquende/Tomatito
Or a Tarantas or Granaina (I like the one off Paco De Lucia's En vivo desde el Teatro Real ... if you can ignore the woman who coughs through it!) |

Maybe this is a nice suggestion too...
From the film Vengo, it is a quiet song, keeps your attention, and not too much screaming, ( a lot of non flamenco find that annoying) YouTube - Naci en Alamo here is a nice one too, from Lola Y Manuel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRWQtx5hbyI |

My suggestion is go with Vicente Amigo... A bit more modern flamenco but Vicente has a great ability to create a mood and do it with a solid groove...
I would suggest listening to the Album versions of the following songs as the live videos are bit more aggressive. Manuel, My Friend - (Compadre Manuel) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NrXUm64QX0 Three Notes To Say I Love You (Tres Notas Para Decir To Quiero) YouTube - Vicente Amigo-Tres notas para decir te quiero Tangos Del Arco Bajo YouTube - Vicente Amigo-Tangos Del Arco Bajo Hope this helps... Let us know what you end up using! |

You're right about Vicente Amigo.... perhaps a track off 'Poeta'?

I would advise Juan Serranos Romance flamenco. Remember using other people music requires their permission. Juan has a fairly simple version of this piece in one of his books with demo CD that maybe you could learn and use your own playing on your site.
YouTube - Juan Serrano "Romance Flamenco" (Duet with Leng Widjaja) |

Im a big Pepe Martinez fan. You could use Choro Brasileño
as a cool website song. Its more brazilian than flamenco although P.M. is definitely considered a flamenco player. You can find it here: YouTube - Pepe Martínez-Choro brasileño I love that funky bassline! |

Get acopy of "El Vito" on the guitar. It is not too complex and very Spanish sounding for the general public.
