“Dedos De Platino” means fingers of platinum. This solo Flamenco guitar selection is a great example of the raw emotion of the style.
Flamenco is one of the great European nonacademic musical forms. More than simply a type of folk music, flamenco embodies a complex musical and cultural tradition. Although considered part of the culture of Spain in general, flamenco is really specifically a product and part of the culture of one region in Spain - Andalusia.
A turning point in flamenco apears to have come about with a change of instruments. In the late 18th Century the favored guitar became the 6 string single-coursed guitar which replaced the double-coursed 5 string guitar in popularity. It is the 6 string classical guitar to which flamenco music is inextricably tied.
