Question:

I'm looking to buy CD's of Flamenco guitar music with a heavy Moorish influence. I've no idea which artists/CD's to look for, any personal recommendations?

Answer:

How about some flemenco with a heavy drum'n'bass influence with a touch of ska and thrash metal? Moorish Flamenco? Hmm thats a new one. The king of Flamenco in my opinion is Carlos Montoya. I recomend getting The Art of Flamenco featuring Carlos. Ketama - Flamenco / Jazz Fusion http://www.flamenco-world.com/noticias/ketama.htm Manolo Garcia - Flamenco Pop - (Formely El Ultimo de la Fila lead singer) http://www.artistdirect.com/music/artist/card/0,,677963,00.html Flameco Encyclopedia http://www.flamenco-world.com/autores/autores.sql Ernie www.eazi-k.com Al Demiola is good place to start. Try to find his influences.

    "radio tarifa" are pretty good for mixing conteporary morrocan and flamenco sounds, also many contemporary guitarists such as vicente amigo ,work with arabic singers check out "ojos de la alhambra" on the "album ciudad de los ideas"

    I recommend "Andalucia" by Brent Gunter. Although he's not pure flamenco, his music has definite Moorish influences! You can hear a lot of north african / arabesque stylings in his melodies and solos. Here's his site http://www.brentgunter.com
