This is great guitar playing. Beautiful, lyrical, feisty playing. From my position of ignorance, he reminds of Sabicas in that it is traditional & played straight ie. it's before Paco. But Sabicas is slightly flowery, showy, whereas Nino de Ricardo feels more kind of earthy, in his own bubble. Like he's playing for himself rather than for an audience. Which I love. Then again, what do I know, I'm just listening, he might have been a right show-off for all I know.
Because it's old some of the recordings don't sound so good. But that's flamenco for you.
As ever, here he is an action. Maybe I'm just a junkie for the old days, before everything was ruined by something I can't quite fathom. Then again, that's probably just bullshit.
