Diego del Gastor

This is a monster flamenco guitarist who goes beyond the limits. He had an uncanny sense of rhythm and flair for melody and one of the last few improvisers in the art. This is truly "flamenco puro".

David - Juan is his nephew, well one of them. There are four who all preserve the style. Juan's brother Paco del Gastor has a solo record out. It is available on Amazon.

There is also a record with Juan (same page)

Paco is the least representative of the school and Dieguito de Moròn (note the accent on the final syliblle. It's not the same word we use for our politicians. LOL) is the most representative.

"Dieguito is arguably the most musically connected of Diego del Gastor's nephews, and a true musico-spiritual link to the Moron style of flamenco guitar playing. This 1977 recording features members of Triana and Granada (two major Rock-Andaluz ensembles), but their accompaniment is hardly noticeable. The guitar completely dominates. Bulerias, Soleares, Alegrias, Tangos, Rondena, Tarantas, Bulerias, and Media Granainas. Remastered Special Edition in digipack format. "

The fourth nephew, Agustìn Rìos, lives in Oakland CA and sometimes but rarely performs in San Francisco. His bio and web page is:
