Flamenco kick
I've been to a ton of flamenco performances in Boston recently, partly due to the influx of said performances this season (thank you, Boston, for being the "European city" and kudos to MIT flamenco club); and also partly because my time in Spain seems like ages ago. I want to remind myself that indeed, I was once there. Winter there wasn't nearly as bad.
I've been loving this awesome duo since the summer -- of course, virtually, since seeing them live isn't possible. Bebo Valdes & Diego el Cigala, combining the best of Cuban and Spanish music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WrXqN_qEy0
I love the combination because it softens some of the harshness of flamenco, but adds that Latin lyricism in the melody... and Bebo is a genius on piano, I can't stop listening to it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-kN9kn59AQ
