Influential pianist Michel Camilo and flamenco guitarist Tomatito, nephew of Niño Miguel de Huelva, play Ástor Piazzolla’s Adiós Nonino (previously featured), from Spain Again.
Struck by the virtuosic playing of his son, El Niño Miguel de Huelva, Miguel el Tomate de Almería, the master of Flamenco who started a dinasty that follows down to Tomatito, his grandson, shakes his head.
From this video.
Tomatito, of whom I have posted before, plays some Bulerías back in 1980, similar to what Niño Miguel plays in the video I just reblogged.
The connection? Niño tres cuerdas Miguel is Tomatito’s uncle.
Tomatito, of whom I have already posted, plays his Bulerías de Gata live, using Turkish guitarist Erkan Ogur’s Bir Omurluk Misafir as an introduction.
Mind the communication going on between the musicians.
"Open your mouth only if what you are going to say is more beautiful than silence."
Arabic proverb (via bokura)
Quite a show from French director Tony Gatlif’s film Vengo, with musicians Tomatito and Sheikh Ahmad Al-Tuni, mixing Flamenco with traditional Arab music.
The look on Spanish guitarist Tomatito’s eyes as he tries to understand and accompany Egyptian singer Ahmad Al-Tuni’s melody is something unique, which you may witness shortly after 3:45.
