Pata Negra Quotes

�My music feeds on the same old thing. I take music like literature, like poetry, like something pleasant that has grandeur. I like jazz the same as rock, as blues. Flamenco is my thing, but at the same time it�s everybody�s, it�s an ingredient that lets you approach every other type of music. I think if I�ve done it, everyone can do it. For my music, which is what I believe in, I like listening to Donald Fagen, Miles Davis or a good blues album. Today�s stuff doesn�t inspire me to make good music. I�m not saying it�s bad music. Each musician... has his own way of thinking, and I have mine�.
Rafael Amador

�The truth is that flamenco�s making good headway. They�re playing the guitar really well, they�re dancing damn well and they�re singing really well. It�s riding high. Now then, what I don�t like is with so much syncopation, people make mistakes; there has to be a base, a weight�.
