Could someone find me examples of Flamenco and Andalusian Folk music?
February 172010
I wan’t to research a lot of music of Flamenco and Andalusian Music but I cannot find a good example for me to hear.
If you search it in the internet. I will only find a few , one or none at all.
Mention as amny as you can. PLEASE.
Youtube is a great source, but searching for FLAMENCO wont get you to the heart of Andalusian Flamenco.
Base your searches on more specific Flamenco, Spanish and Gypsy terms.
Gypsy Surnames: Vargas, Jimenez, Garcia, Reyes, Monje, Heredia, Fernandez, Morena, Flores, Cruz, Montoya, Amaya, Gomez
Search for Specific stars
Carmen Amaya: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=carmen+amaya
Cameron: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=cameron+de+isla
Paco De Lucia: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=paco+de+lucia
Rafael Utrera: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=RAFAEL+UTRERA
Or harder to finds stars like these guys – www.youtube.com/watch?v=62S2V0M-dK4
Search for flamenco in specific towns withing the flamenco cradle
Utrera, Cadiz, Seville, Grenada, Malaga, Almeria, Cordoba, Jaen, Huelva
You will often see the towns name use like so ‘de utrera’ (of Utrera)
Combine those with searches terms in spanish
Boda (wedding), Flamenca, Pena.
The best flamenco videos are not the polished theatrical acts, they are home video recordings of parties and weddings and late nights around a table or in a bar.
and child stars like this young chap – El Carpeta en una boda – www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb89bF-Jtr0
When you find something good steal terms from the title and re-search

Flamenco consists of four aspects: Song, Guitar, Dance and Percussion.
Search terms: Cante, Toque, Guitarra, Baile, Palmas.
There are also many palos (types of songs and rhythms) in flamenco
You need to know them and be able to hear and distinguish between them.
Search based on those terms: tonás, saetas, malagueñas, tarantos, fandangos, tangos, tientos, rumba, zambra, tanguillos, zarabanda, jácara, canarios, soleá, seguiriya, bulería, peteneras, guajiras, soleá, cantiñas, mirabras, romera, caracoles, soleá por bulería, bulería por soleá.
And then there are the names of famous flamenco:

Keep combining your native Spanish search terms and you will find the good stuff. From there you should well and truly fall down the rabbit hole!
