E.- Video Recommendation of the Week:

1.- " Corre por mis venas" (Bulerias) With Tomatito, Camarón and Paco de Lucia. From Tomatito's New Album "Soy Flamenco" 2013

Tomatito and Paco de Lucía chose some of the unknown and not used recordings with Camarón's voice and made a great track which is included in Tomatito's most recent album. It came our just some days ago. It's very innovative way to accompany the singer (Camaron de la Isla). The excellence of Paco’s ideas to a variety of melodies in the higher registro of the guitar makes it a unique Buleria! This is a must for flamenco lovers! Enjoy it!
