Sabicas
sabicas, “arabian dance,”
from: flamenco reflections, 1963
Recently, while readying a post, the music kept running and Sabicas appeared. Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, you get to learn of another master of whom I know nothing. He has fallen gracefully into our laps. We have fellow Bopper Shopper, Alan West to thank, for he unleashed another flamenco player, Carlos Montoya several days ago. As it turns out, these wisecrackers had a record in which they acoustically jousted with one another. Flamenco bullfighting of sorts. Yes the sonic arts are a deep well and the water keeps rising.
