Talk:Vicente Amigo

Untitled
Vicente Amigo is one of the best flamenco guitarists ever. When he was only 3 years old he saw Paco de Lucia playing the guitar and since then he has loved it. He was born in little friendly village in Spain called Guadalcanal and later moved to Cordoba. He won many prices and also a Latin Grammy for his album "Ciudad de las ideas"(City of ideas). Furthermore he dedicated that Grammy to Paco de Lucia and also said that it was Paco's "fault" he plays the guitar.Vicente's first album is called "De mi corazon al aire"-good proof of his musical maturity, unbelievable talent and high spirited soul.After this album Amigo was progressing so much that noone knows which of his masterpieces are better. Vivencias Imaginadas Poeta Ciudad de las ideas Canto(with El Pele) And the newest one:EN MOMENTO EN EL SONIDO(one moment in sound)-which contains bulerias,tangos,alegrias,soleas... He is one of a kind.

Yes, he is one of a kind, that's why the statement that he is the best after PDL should be removed. Best by what standard? He is extremely talanted, yes, but calling anyone the best, and second best compromises NPOV. Afterthought: best is limited to coming first in a contest. Take art for the sake of what it stands for.

Vicente Amigo (comment)
I agree with what you said about Vicente Amigo. However, what we need to consider is, to whom we should dedicate our appreciation in changing the way flamenco guitar been played? No one can ever deny that Paco de Lucia was the one who revolutionized flamenco in a way which no one did before. Plus so many young guitarist started following his foot steps and imitating his style.

I personally admire and love Vicente's style and music, and there is no doubt that he is one of the top flamenco guitarists today..no doubt.

Maybe someone should add that he wrote the film music for ALmodovars "Habla con ella" and "L'auberge espagnole"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.113.221.139 (talk) 04:44, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
