What do you do in a style that, at a minimum, is already hyper-virtuosic? Is it even possible to play with more eloquence, dexterity, force, and speed than Paco de Lucia? The smart way is to take another musical path entirely. Well, Vicente has somehow found a personal path down calle flamenco. You’ve got to have big ones to even imagine being a rudimentary flamenco guitarist, much less a classic one. Vicente Amigo (no relation) is of the latter type and brings an original tone, rhythmic astuteness, and a fresh musiclity to the art. Check out his fandangos and bulerias and switch styles fast. I like to think he’s my Spanish cousin and that this type of playing runs in the family, but I was only dreaming. hijo de puta!
