Inexpensive Place To Have A Baby Shower Chicago

24 hours Flamenco music Web-Radio.


The Andalusian Radio and Television Group RTVA from Sevilla, best known for the Canal Sur , expanded its cultural offering a flamenco channel the World Wide Web.

96kbps/Stereo In comes the audience 24 hours a day in the listening pleasure of flamenco music. With Cante (vocals / songs) and Toque (guitar / guitar), history, interviews, lectures, expanded the channel, which just celebrated its twentieth birthday, his offer on the Internet for all flamenco aficionados around the world.

Maybe that this is no novelty for many, or any special event. But for people like us, who in the '70s, when there were only plates of Carlos Montoya and Manitas de Plata , continue for 2500 km with a rusty VW bus had to at all times to enjoy a Cantes to come, this is already a small revolution, or rather, a wonderful convenience of ungemeinem value. I do not hear every day flamenco, but to enjoy it when I want, any time, day or night, I feel a great achievement.
(Click in the middle of the white cross on the "play"!)

astonishing is the so-called playlist, the music program. It is a day a healthy mix of traditional and contemporary and modern flamenco music of renowned as well as young, ambitious artists together. Live recordings, studio recordings are known or heard, as well as radio and mid-sections of Festivales , you can hear anywhere else because they are not published, or otherwise have been preserved somehow. For me personally nice to listen to and associated with many memories are great live recordings Festivales del Cante that took place in the mid-eighties in the regions Málaga and Cádiz . At that time there were probably few Festivals, which were of us (my friends of the Sierra Blanca Peña ) is not visited.

Here is the direct link to the playlist ...

... and have fun while listening to flamenco Canal.
