A great loss of a great talent which will ripple through the flamenco world in the year to come. Imagine all the homages to him in the upcoming flamenco festivals!
I never saw him perform live (I don't think) as he always performed outside of Madrid city (but within La Comunidad de Madrid) for the Suma Flamenca festival - until LAST YEAR when I didn't get tickets. Figures! (I was in the USA that whole month)
"At any given moment, our contradictions and nostalgia depend on which way the wind is blowing. And so, 'cante' grows with every coming year, as new artists are born who continue to enrich it as long as they live and are always constantly reinventing everything".
-- Enrique Morente
