It was late. We'd been drinking. I was with my muso, tabla playing mate. I mention that because he knows what he's doing.
We were surfing flamenco on YouTube and clicked on this. And for about 30 seconds, we couldn't figure out what was going on. We started with 'Oh, Paco is so great' to 'wow, this is out there' to 'this sounds wrong'. Then we got it. It took us that long. And then we pissed ourselves for 5 minutes. It's done so well. As I said we were drunk, and it was late. So we spent the next hour watching all the other shreds. Clapton is great.
By the way, this, of course, is how I think I sound on those bad days.
This is the real deal of course, and to my probably ignorant ears, Paco starting nuevo flamenco.
if you want the track, it's on this great CD.
