[@rediryou]

[@rufinosanchez2703]

Grande este maestro de la guitarra flamenca con su estilo propio. Muchas gracias desde Chile.

[@АлександрСемёнов-м1з]

Люблю слушать старых мастеров фламенко Монтойя, Сабикас и другие Россия г.Саратов на Волге. Александр.

[@luiseduardofraire]

Extraodinario guitarrista español que vivio a la sombra de su tio Ramon Montoya...sus grabaciones de video y lps buenisimas..si traia el duende flamenco 100 %

[@8LocKDowN8]

Hes fingers , the way they move are outstanding! Carlos Montoya is mind blowing!

[@QuintinPenola]

hes very in control of the rhythmic old style

[@bearasojrnr]

I was privileged to witness his beyond outstanding performance and audience interractions in Dallas, TX back in the fall of 77. I've never forgotten that experience as we sat in center about five rows back. What made it even more enjoyable, it was my cousin's treat of a lifetime for me....

[@sambaransarkar5551]

Magic...

[@DanieleSRD]

Una meraviglia assoluta

[@Gitanoz]

Funny thing is that he played in Spain for all the great singers and dancers in perfect compa's. When I met him in 1980 in Australia he told me that when you play solo you don't have to play in strict compas! Guess you like to play free.

[@KevinToine]

so much different and difficult rythm parts. Love it!

[@frizzyll]

Simply the best!!

[@drruth82]

I met him when I was about ten years old and had just started to play the guitar. He was a guest of my neighbor, who was a Spanish professor at Frostburg State Teachers College in western Maryland (now Frostburg State University.)

[@DanieleSRD]

How lucky

Bravo!

Guitar God!

[@richardthompson5851]

A master never blazes a trail but teaches others to make their own

[@rootsguitar1]

[@placo10100]

Beautiful example of the gypsy Flammenco LA Maestro Montoya :)

[@guitarrasenescenas]

Excelente!!

[@justincguitar]

thanks for this

[@FernandoAlva96]

Esto es increíble!!!!

[@cidcampeador1952]

BRAVO ! ! ! ! !

[@uiscepost]

amazing

[@moshiko7701]

NEUROMANCE holding the guiter far from body gives a profound sound

[@roman14032]

poor carlos, he has to put up with the "no compas" asholes "he's not playing flamenco, he's doing his own thing that isn't authentic " doing your own thing is the MOST AUTHENTIC FLAMENCO

[@theoclaus6430]

Flamenco is punk rock before it was a thing. There’s always people gatkeeping what is and isn’t the ‘real thing’

[@acompas]

ole flamenco, ole el compas

[@Mhjot]

I agree @roman14032,they said the same thing about MANITAS DE PLATA Both were GREAT!!!in my opinion .

[@aldocesar3599]

VAMOS!!!! OOOLEEEE!!!!!

[@domjuandeperon]

Show. Rare congratulations

I am viewer 85,000!~

[@山内シヨウいち]

確かカルロスモントーヤさんのギターは普通のサイズより大きかったとおもいます、すきなぎたりすとでした。

[@jamh2000]

Well I take your point that playing from the heart is the most important thing, but Flamenco is a tradition and compas is one of the most important elements. You may disagree, but people are entitled to feel that the music is weaker without the compas.

[@davidsaldananavarro65]

No es una "Bulería", son unas "Alegrías" de Cádiz. Un saludo desde Sevilla.

[@joseantoniocondecorrales7906]

Son cuplés por bulerias, tocadas al golpe como muchos lo hacían antiguamente.

[@davidsaldananavarro65]

@@joseantoniocondecorrales7906 ok, pero no se rige por los cánones actuales, es una pieza mixta de dos palos que ha sabido hilvanar..

[@joseantoniocondecorrales7906]

@@davidsaldananavarro65 solo a un estilo (Palo) y es bulerías hay falsetas en en sistema dórico (tono flamencos) y mezcla con falsetas en tono menores y mayores, estás falsetas entornos mayores en lo que usted dice Alegrías. En el compás de la Bulerias y de las Alegrías los tiempos son los mismo 12 tiempos y los acentos están en el mismo sitio, pero la diferencia el aire y ese aire lo da la velocidad. Usted escuché Alegría y bulerías de Cádiz de la primera época de Montoya o Sabicas y verá que son la noche y el día, pero está diferencia cualquier incipiente aficionado se da cuenta a la primera.

[@manhquannguyen1007]

the way he hold the guitar ........

[@albatrosseable]

somehow older than "old-school" in style and phrasing.

[@needs2know1]

When in the fall exactly? I was born on November 27th.

[@SciMasterGeneral]

To think that this was way past his prime.

[@anandanaga999]

Senior pizzicato

[@jamh2000]

I suppose he plays with passion but it's very strange to play bulerias without following the rhythm. I don't uderstand why Carlos Montoya would learn all these hard falsetas but just not bother with working out how they fit into the compas. Listen to Sabicas play bulerias and you will see what I mean!

[@noelalvarez141]

old style bulerias was created on 3x2 like fandango. 12 times buleria was an evolution of that

[@Anriuko]

Poor Montoya, why didn't he bother to learn some flamenco?!

[@Anriuko]

@jon athan I have, but obviously I don't know-it-all. On a general level, I'm against formalisms. To me flamenco is a restless, living entity that defies being subdued by academic correctness. Although there are idiomatic phrases and patterns and tradition that make it recognizable, being "true" flamenco is more about intimately understanding the soul of that living entity, which to me means understanding life itself (from human perspective). I don't like superficiality, showboating, egotism and self-promotion, especially in arts, and consequently I don't like many of the more modern takes on flamenco that seem to be all about impressing people as if music was an art of illusion. To me it's the art of REALITY! When the stories you tell are all about Your Self, it doesn't take long to determine there's not much intrigue in them and to lose interest. My original comment was sarcastic and regrettably just another example of how not to communicate with people if you want to have a meaningful, civil discussion...

[@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504]

I don't think this is a bulerias, these are the wrong chords for the general theme. It should be A and Bb predominantly.

[@BESTEVAAR]

What the hell is this ???????????

[@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504]

A Farruca, I think it was titled incorrectly.

[@maxbal1777]

This is not Bulerias!! This is FARRUCA FLAMENCA,

[@thomasszejnmann3917]

Anda jaleo !

[@FernandoAlva96]

Demonio!!!!

[@halimbourenane6029]

Sabicas the best I’m sorry

[@rupenkesenci8081]

You people ever hear of freestyle? Carlos played everything freestyle and improvised. He is #1. Sabicas is great. Paco was fine on his own. But his band stuff sucks. Boring catchy repeated melodies for the masses.

[@mossimmo1271]

I listen to Montoya not because I think he is a great player but because after a few bars I realise how good the real flamenco players like Sabicas, Paco de Lucia, Juan Serrano, Paco Pena et al are. Montoya? not even close to these guys, if fact I don`t even rate him a good guitarist, his sound is just too awful.

[@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504]

He has a very powerful rasgaeo on him. His picado, hmmm...not so good.

[@alansouzacruz970]

Bravo 👏
