Though I always had a love of Flamenco music it was my discovery of "Silver Hands" that that truly awoke the fire in me. There are all these groups about now, but they seem to lack the fire of the older artists who grew up in gypsy encampments in Northern Spain and Southwest France. For lovers of the "true spirit" of flamenco, Manitas de Plata is a great place to start.
Manitas de Plata (Silver Hands) was and is truly
a great flamenco guitarist. I have a CD from many
years ago, a live perdormance at Carnegie Hall,
that is remarkable. This guy is a legend!
