NOT a comprehensive Carmen Amaya + Sabicas collection

(1 out of 5 stars)
"The CD is actually titled "Carmen Amaya: Amaya's & Sabicas". It has 7 historical Carmen Amaya numbers accompanied by Juan Maya Marote etc. (no Sabicas), then 4 with Amaya+Sabicas from Decca DL 9925 (Garrotin, Cuando pa Chile me voy, Columbianas, Sevillanas; the first 2 are somewhat poorly mastered) then 4 historical non-flamenco Sabicas tunes which are part of P 1011 on the Planet label. If you like Sabicas rocking with an alto sax, one of these last four is just what you were looking for. Or perhaps you would prefer Sabicas's immortal tremolo solo. One saving grace, the times given in the track listings are wrong for tracks 8-11, the bands on the CD are full-length. Enuf said. A ripoff, basically."
