Thanks to whoever recommended the documentary about flamenco singer Camarón de la Isla on Netflix. Great on his life and music (obviously) but also deeply informative on the history and philosophy of the Romani. pic.twitter.com/N6CbBc76RY— Andrew Male (@Andr6wMale) April 5, 2022

I love the flamenco/jazz fusion of Camaron's song Leyenda del tiempo. Anyone have recommendations for stuff along these lines? It cooks! The bass playing is stellar, it's got funky flute... so good.
