Review by Daniel Lima

El Flamenco Guitar by Carlos Montoya is a masterpiece of flamenco music that showcases the virtuosity and passion of the legendary guitarist. The album features a collection of traditional flamenco pieces, as well as original compositions by Montoya, all performed with exquisite technique and soulful expression.

From the opening track, "Fandango de Huelva," Montoya's playing is electric, with lightning-fast runs and intricate fingerpicking that seem to defy the laws of physics. His sense of rhythm and timing is impeccable, as he effortlessly navigates the complex rhythms and syncopations of flamenco music.

Throughout the album, Montoya's guitar is accompanied by the palmas (hand clapping) and jaleo (vocal encouragement) of a group of talented flamenco musicians, adding to the infectious energy and passion of the music. Standout tracks include "Soleares," a hauntingly beautiful piece that showcases Montoya's lyrical playing, and "Bulerias," a fiery dance tune that will have listeners tapping their feet and clapping along.

Summary by Daniel Lima

El Flamenco Guitar is a must-have for any fan of flamenco music, and a testament to the enduring legacy of Carlos Montoya as one of the greatest flamenco guitarists of all time.
