Music Reviews of Cositas BuenasMusic Review: Takes some time to get used to Rating: 4 Stars
Went to the performance in Neve Zohar, Israel (October 2007) and afterwards wanted to buy a CD as close to what I heard as I could. This CD isn't it: it doesn't have the melodious flute (?) or the various percussions, and is less instrumental as such. This CD's emphasis is [Andalusian?] vocals with Paco on the guitar. So initially it was a disappointment as I was hoping for something else, more varied. But, the more I listen to it, the more the quality rings through and I really enjoy it. Although I do hope that in the future there will be a disc of the performance with all the musicians in his group.
Music Review: Exquisite musicianship Rating: 5 Stars
How in your right mind can you not enjoy a Paco De Lucia album? I mean: the guy is a genius and he's helped shape Flamenco for the past 40+ years. This is his first album in a while, and one that pays tribute to the genre that he's so well known for, by sticking to the basics: his guitar, hand clapping and six different vocalists sporting heart tearing voices interpreting his bulerias, rumbas and tientos. My favorite tracks are "Patio Custodio", Antonia" and "Que Venga El Alba". By all means, get yourself a copy and chill out to the best Spanish guitar in the world.

Paco de Lucia is the best flamenco guitarist ever. This album is pure flamenco, del bueno, de corazón, flamenco de verdad!!! Great new compositiosn and amazing collaborations throughout the whole recording. If you are just atrting out get this, if you're a long time Paco fan, getthis too!!
Music Review: Great Flamenco Rating: 5 Stars
5 stars for this album, not for regular "guitar flashing-fast riffs" addicts; more for those looking for depth on arrangement and composition, those searching for the nuevo Flamenco.
In response to "ggprep" comments, a line from Paco's Zyryab: " Si tu no tiene soniquete pa que te mete".
Music Review: not for guitarists Rating: 3 Stars
