Title: Ottmar's a competent guitarist but this is not flamenco!
Review: It is unfortunate that whoever is responsible for marketing this record does not know the true meaning of what flamenco is or anything about its history. Simply stated, calling this flamenco, even nuevo flamenco, is a sham. I've played flamenco over 20 years, and studied it's background and history, even published a book on the history of the Gypsy and I can tell you there is not one Gitano compas in the whole album.It is truly unfortunate that competent flamenco guitarists cant stay gainfully employed, Pedro Cortes, Jr. in NYC for instance, and this guy is making money "mano a mano" calling what he plays flamenco. It simply is NOT flamenco but it is good elevator or dentist office music.
