"I have a large collection of Spanish flamenco CDs, and this is one of my favorites, that I come back to time and again. La Macanita has great power and soul in her voice, and the guitars of Moraito and Parrilla have that undeniable Jerez rhythm, and some beautiful melodic statements and falsetas as well. Whether you're a diehard flamenco fan, or are just beginning to explore real flamenco (and have tired, or never liked, that lukewarm Ottmar Liebert junk), give this one a try. Raw in emotion and flavor, polished in technique, excellent compositions almost to a number. I highly recommend it."
