TOMATITO - Rumba De La Lira REACTION | Metal Head DJ Reacts

[@simonrangeley]

Llove the way that flamenco musicians just seem to be having so much fun. Even when playing the sadder songs. That applies to those on guitar, those clapping and those on the cajon.

[@TheKillogicEffect]

I can imagine it is because it is sure fun to listen to! even at its most basic level its mind blowing stuff without a doubt!!!

Tomatito, Paco's little guitar brother

Qué bonito ver cómo disfrutas con nuestra música. Abrazos desde España

[@danielperezcabezas109]

Nice to see your reaction to Tomatito.The young man playng rythm guitar is Tomatito´s own son.Tomatito is one of the greatest.In the studio recorded version of this song he had George Benson playing some electric guitar.I´m amazed by how Tomatito can switch from flamenco to jazz or latin stuff so naturally.Greetins from Spain!

El Grande Tomatito!❤️

Gracias por sentir el flamenco saludis desde Andalucia

[@TheKillogicEffect]

Greetings! It is a pleasure to learn about this style and genre of music! I'm looking forward to hearing and learning more!

next time listing to Moraíto Chico

[@frankgately518]

I loved his playing! Raw and awesome.

[@cosmopolitanbay9508]

Tomatito is one of the big names, who together with, and after Paco de Lucia, started pushing the boundaries of flamenco. They listen to and pick a lot of influences from bossa nova, Cuban music and jazz. In an interview he admitted he loves listening to George Benson. He & company have been constantly been evolving as guitarists and composers.

[@TheKillogicEffect]

I have been enjoying learning about all these incredible musicians! We have set up both a Flemeco and Paco De Lucia playlists, please feel free to suggest a song or artist we should be adding!! George Benson sounds familiar, I'm looking forward to checking him out!

Love your reaction to Tomatito and your final remarks on the whole craft. You really dig it. A Flamenco master is like a Jedi master for Guitar playing. They have to start practicing as 4 year olds. If you are 10, you are too old to start 😆. Still, you could get to be a good one, or even a great one, like the plectrum guy in this video, but you'll never reach the likes of Tomatito, Vicente Amigo, or Paco the GOAT. Their hands and brain are wired to play the guitar at levels that made them look superhuman.

[@TheKillogicEffect]

Yeah thats a very good way to put it! Trying to learn this later in life and get to this kind of skill level is quite the impossible task! Seeing this masters at work is so inspirational though and makes me look at chord progressions in my own playing a lot different. I totally agree watching the magic in their hands is more a kin to the force flowing throw them where they seemingly do the impossible effortlessly!

[@franciscogimenez2133]

Hi Tomatito is from my city ALMERÍA IN ANDALUCÍA SPAIN ,he started playing guitar when he was a child whith 2 or 3 years old,i recomended youtube a documental of tomatito playing in new york at the blue note whith the pianist michel camilo,i ll look the video and linkedin you, greetings from spain

[@nadim4343]

You should listen to Vicente Amigo. One little thing: flamenco is a very niche thing: you have to know how to acompany cante (flamenco singing) dancing and master all the palos (rhythms): bulerias, seguryia, soleà, alegria, tangos, etc. Any guitarist that can't do it is not flamenco no matter hoq good they. They play another unrelated genre.

[@mjge9411]

El flamenco es algo maravilloso que ni siquiera en España (fuera de Andalucía) es suficientemente conocido y menos aún apreciado. Pero ese planteamiento tuyo sobre lo que es y lo que no es flamenco, el eterno debate de los puristas, llevo tiempo pensándolo y no acabo de estar seguro. ¿Crees que en Nueva Orleans pensaran lo mismo sobre lo que es y lo que no es jazz? En esta misma grabación, Tomatito funde flamenco y jazz, ¿nos vamos poner picajosos con si es o no jazz? Si a unos músicos de jazz se les ocurriera fundirlo con el flamenco, ¿crees que estaría bien ponernos en plan purista y decir que eso no es flamenco? Decía un flamenco, con gracia gaditana, que el flamenco puro es el que se hace desde Cádiz hasta Jerez, que por eso se llama de la frontera. Como gracia es genial, pero a mí me encanta que este hombre se interese por el flamenco y que haya músicos que intenten incorporarlo a su música, aunque sean de Nueva Zelanda.

[@fernandorguez.9931]

I suggest to listen the full Album Omega by Morente & Lagartija Nick, you can find several of this artist (Vicente Amigo in "La aurora de Nueva York", Tomatito in "Sacerdotes") and if a had to chose a song, it would be "Niña ahogada en un pozo". In this one the flamenco guitarist is Cañizares, (usually is a classic guitarist too)

[@Jerez109]

Tomatito lo más flamenco de toda España..

[@alv672]

You have to look for "el niño miguel". Some experts say he was better than paco, but he end up begging in the streets because of drugs problems. There are not many videos in YT of him because his career didnt last so much, but there are videos playing a 3 strings guitar where we can see him very affected by drugs and it's still amazing.

[@TheKillogicEffect]

I'v done one about him so far, I'm looking forward to hearing more! Such a sad story for such and incredible musician!

[@blasamuel]

Excelente selección, te sugiero algo de Camaron de la Isla, gracias tienes mi like.

[@TheKillogicEffect]

Thank you!! Thank you for the suggestion I really appreciate it, I just did a video with him and Paco De Lucia that was pretty incredible stuff but I am looking forward to learning more about Camaron de la Isla for sure!

Flamingo guitar players have been born with a guitar in their hands. They begin to learn guitar since they are little children 4 or 5 years old, not much later.

Guitarist Tomatito is the grandson of Niño Miguel

[@TheKillogicEffect]

I was not aware of that! Small world I can see there are some musical notes in their DNA

[@sergiogarciagallegos4602]

Grande Tomate!!!

[@pacoval100]

Busca , Paco de Lucia & Manolo Sanlucar

[@odvedokikrema]

also check out Rumba by Jesus Guerrero. people already mentioned Vicente Amigo, Antonio Rey is another brilliant player, Grammy awarded for all those who dislike typical jazz, flamenco has much to offer. it incorporates the classical, jazz and ethnic traditions...

[@AOARAUJO]

Thanks for share the guitar culture.

[@TheKillogicEffect]

It is a pleasure and I'm looking forward to learning more about it!

[@marcopelaezfernandez4573]

Spanish folklore is out of this world. Got to spent 12 hours of daily practicing during your whole existence to reach TOMATITO´s level. Its surreal..

[@Classiclove122]

Tomatito is famous for his tangos usually, but I prefer his Alegrias 'La Ardila'.

[@Trizzayala]

You must play a spanish band call El Bicho and their legendary song La Toba, they mix flamenco música witcher Many others styles please check them!!!

[@sergiogarciagallegos4602]

Bien tirada esa son unos makinas tb

No mention of Paco Peña?

[@CroquetaNinjaTV]

But you are a littel bit wrong in something. We don´t use all our fingers of the right hand. We use all but the little. That hat an tow reasons. The first reason is because that finger is very weak and they barely have coordination, in addition to being very short. The second, if you make tremolos or "trills", which go at 3 beats between note and note, you get out of rhythm, there is one beat left over. These styles of music are always played with 4 fingers, thumb, index, heart and ring finger, if you play with two, you will lack fingers for many things, but you learn much faster than you think.

[@fernandomorenobarcenilla2947]

Very nice video

Tomatito fue el guitarrista asta los últimos días q falleció el genio del flamenco en el mundo entero, José Monge Cruz,llamado,CAMARON DE LA ISLA.
