"One
of the best flamenco puro players in North America."
- Jesse Cook Raised in the Gitano tradition, Chuscales has influenced and taught many of today's hottest flamenco guitarists, including Ottmar Liebert, Jesse Cook, Miguel de la Bastide, among others. Chuscales' long-awaited new album comes alive with the rich flamenco tradition and the lush sounds and spirit of Spain's diverse cultural center. His debut album, ENCUENTROS DEL ALMA (Soul Encounters) and contributions to Narada's popular flamenco flamenco collections have exposed listeners to Chusco's vibrant musical heritage and stunning guitar virtuosity. A native of Granada, Chuscales was born in the tradition of the Gitanos in a family well-known for its professional musicians and dancers. His grandmother was among those who lived in the save of Sacro Monte, the legendary cradle of flamenco. Chuscales recalls, "there were shows, with gypsies from Granada who grew up in families who lived in those caves. I wish you could see it, to see the families in the caves, and the singing and dancing. It was unbelievable. This is where I learned everything - the rhythm, the beat, the guitar. I am still learning from those thousands of nights performing with my family, with my father, my grandfather, and friends." His deep understanding of these traditions and consummate skill have made Chusco one of the greatest performers of new flamenco. |
