G.E. 5 Carlos Montoya 1946-1953
Carlos was born in Spain but eventually lived almost all his life in New York. Before leaving Spain he accompanied La Argentina, Vicente Escudero, La Malena, La Macarrona and many other singers and dancers. He plays every Flamenco form with astonishing technique and uses a Marcelo Barbero guitar that has such clarity and presence. These songs were recorded before Carlos applied Flamenco technique to American folk, jazz and blues styles for which he was highly criticized and written off by serious aficianados. The Verdiales is much like the transcription by Juan Serrano in Juan's Concert Selections for Flamenco Guitar book. CD $17.00
