Whats your favorite Flamenco DVD(s)?

[falseta]

With so many new Flamenco DVD's coming out its hard to keep track of them all.

Right now I have three that are in or around my DVD player at all times.

- Francisco Sanchez - Paco de Lucia
- Blank y Negro - Diego el Cigala
- Ketama - Herencia Flamenca

What Flamenco DVD(s) are your favorite and or strongly recommend?

[Black Sheep]

I've been watching Vicente Amigo's 'Ciudad de las ideas' Brilliant stuff...

[Alverita]

there is one simply called "Flamenco" it is excellent. I also enjoy Carlos Saunas dvd's Salome is my favorite of his.

I also love the works of Carlos Saura. "Flamenco" is a great one of his. Also, for guitar aficionados/players, etc. the series entitled "Rito y Geografia del Toque" is great. I think there are 4 DVD's in all, covering a range of guitarists and cantaores from traditional to modern, sometimes playing together. Great stuff...enjoy!!

I would be a fool to not say Petenera – un drama flamenco en música y baile because it is really unique (I can say so since I had the pleasure of directing and editing it), but I must admit there is a lesser known film somewhere out there on the market called Flamenco at 5:15 – a real must see!

If you can get your hands on it, go for it.

Is this a work of paco pena?
I want to know what is the name of singer and what is The album,s name ?!

[michaelbrown]

Like I said: Flamenco at 5:15 and Petenera – a Flamenco Drama in Music and Dance

This cannot be Paco Peña, who is a very popular (and excellent) contemporary guitarist. What I heard reminded me of something like Edgar Nevilles 1952 documentary masterpiece Duende y Misterio del Flamenco, perhaps Fernanda or Bernarda de Utrera? Not sure, but you have to look into Spanish films of the 50s or 60s to find that. Hope this was a bit helpful, I'm sure there are specialists here who know better. :-)

I also do not know who the singer is, or the source from which the song comes. But we can rule out Fernanda or Bernarda de Utrera, without question: definitely not either sings this.

The Song name is "Romance de Juan Osuna" too many people sang this song, as I found.But this performance is very important for me.
