V.A. (VARIOUS ARTISTS) - Take a Knife and Open my Heart

Format: LP Label & Cat.Number: Sound Miracle Recordings - SSMM001 Release Year: 2018 Note: AND NOW TO SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT: probably the very first FLAMENCO album we have in stock, but this one is wonderful, historic pieces from 1930 on, flavoured with nostalgia and true passion, usually based on acoustic guitar and the singing, very emotional.. - "Flamenco is much more than that. It has something of Folk, something of Sacred Music, something of Blues: it is a unique music in the world, born of many factors and opposite and antagonistic elements.." - with OBI and CD ! Price (incl. 19% VAT): €23.00 More Info https://soundmiraclerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/take-a-knife-and-open-my-heart Flamenco music has been admired throughout the world for centuries. Fascinating, unique, esoteric and mysterious, alloy of fire and witchcraft. Flamenco is much more than that. It has something of Folk, something of Sacred Music, something of “Blues”: it is a unique music in the world, born of many factors and opposite and antagonistic elements, like its country of origin. And like other traditions, it‘s not just music, it‘s a way of life. This compilation also brings us echoes of that way of life and aromas of places that today seem distant galaxies. For the connoisseur, names like La Niña de los Peines, Manuel Torre, Aurelio, Carmen Amaya, El Niño Ricardo, Melchor de Marchena and others will make mouth water. As if that were not enough, underground gents such as Sarita Heredia and Pericón de Cádiz coexist side by side with these great historical names. Bearing in mind that they can never be all they are in one single disc; the selection of voices is exquisite: from the acute of Manuel Vallejo to the wounding of Angelillo or Manolo Caracol, and everything that fits in between... Fan of flamenco guitar, what are you not going to find here?: Melchor de Marchena, Niño Ricardo, Sabicas, Borrull, Manolo de Badajoz, Perico el del Lunar... First swords! And the one who approaches flamenco for the first time must let himself be carried away by the brutally honest sensation when listening for the first time to Sabicas’s guitar and Carmen Amaya’s taconeo. There is a lot to enjoy here. The present compilation shows some of the earliests examples of Flamenco music recorded; brutal and exciting music, that easily combining the known and the darkest (legends), is more accessible and attractive for the audience that is approaching for the first time. And with this “pop” spirit, let’s say, to look for a good song above all: this is a collection of Smashers and Cannon Shoots.
