No details yet, but one of the greatest flamenco guitarist ever has departed.

Sam,
Thank you for this post. This is really shocking news. He was just 55 years old (born September 13, 1955, in Jerez de la Frontera) and apparently died of lung cancer. He was one of my 2 favourite flamenco guitarists, and definitely one of the greatest accompanists of cante ever.

Roland, If you haven't seen this video, you will enjoy it. Real deal Gypsy flamenco without all the staging, rehearsed choreography, and fancy dress. Moraito and Molina in their favorite setting.

Sam,
I hadn't seen them before. These are really great videos. I love the mix of the generations. Thank you.
