Art of Paco Peña

If you're just interested in Flamenco Guitar, you'd be better off with Paco's  double album of that title , as this one includes selections from the  Flamenco Mass  and from the  duet album of South American music  with Eduardo Falú.That said, this is a good introduction to Paco, especially if you can't afford all the other albums.

If you are looking for a CD that will provide you with the essence of Flamenco guitar playing, then I do not believe you will find better than this. Right from the beginning of the first track it evoked in me everything that I had imagined flamenco to be. The sounds are those that bring the heat and the dust of the Spanish summer into your mind, and noise and passoin that goes with it. I think we need a little of that in the glum country of ours. I recommend this record highly for anyone who is not sure where to start with flamenco.
