Various Artists ~ Las 101 Canciones Mas Flamencas ~ 5 CDs

This collection is like having a day's worth of really good commercial free Andalusian radio programming on five discs (CD changer, sherry and tapas sold separately, but then you'd be all set). Way too many artists to list here, but the material includes instrumentals by guitarists like Riqueni, Habichuela, Tomatito, Vicente Amigo..., mostly upbeat cante by the likes of Jose Merce, El Pele, La Susi, Camaron, Nina Pastori, Duquende, Miguel Poveda, Esperanza Fernandez, Montse Cortes, and a long etcetera, lots of good Rumba by Manzanita, Bambino, Peret, Los Amaya, Los Chichos, Los Chorbos..., and some great fusion and pop/rock with strong Flamenco flavors by groups like Ketama, Tabletom, Joaquin Sabina, Smash, Las Grecas. Not only will this collection expose most listeners to several if not dozens of previously unheard artists, but it really is a blast to just put the CD's in a changer and let them run.
