I start looking for words and I can't find them. He doesn't understand much. flamenco of explanations. How do I bring you a pellizco without losing the thrill along the way? Knowing what happened is impossible. Describing moments without the flavour of a sound is summarising in words the incomprehensible. Reducing caresses to drawings on paper makes no sense. Ramon Amador He did it again. When I realized he had stolen me. His guitar slipped through the fabric of my heart.
He shortened the program because there they limit art with the clock. Unheard of. But it took him less than fifty minutes to enamor. And he still had time left over. Because he who has the gift searches for himself in the trance and makes you vibrate from the beginning. If there is a duende, he took his last name. And he embraced the six silver rivers of his guitar. Beard.
«Then he put the bass drum in D to give us a zamarreones with an apotheotic farruca, fat and flamenco, leaden, deep, sublime... with Moorish airs of zambra, perhaps inspired by that arabesque Gitanería of Niño Ricardo. He was undone in elegance with the rondeña. He even sang to the cante "a few lyrics with a lot of taste"
El Turina Space He became the temple of the guitar in Seville. Ramón became the totem to which all souls turned with their ears. He curled the granaína. He began to give off an intoxicating aroma that perfumed the gypsy hall. And with gushes of sensitivity he dazzled the public.
To reinvent shorter minutes, in a display of genius he linked his compositions in an all in one three by four, linking it with airs of seguiriya to arrive at the salt garlands of extraordinary joys. Then he put the bass string in D to endow us with zamarreones with an apotheotic farruca, fat and flamenco, leaden, deep, sublime… with Moorish airs of zambra, perhaps inspired by that Arabesque Gypsy of the Nino Ricardo. He was elegant with the rondeña. He even sang the cante some lyrics with great taste. And he closed the recital with some dizzying bulerías that are incomprehensible to almost any human being who plays. He received a round of applause. The ovation called for an encore. He came out to take his bow and held back, because otherwise the theater would scold him for time. Ramón Amador was crowned in the Seville Guitar Festival and demonstrated why he is one of the best guitarists today in the capital of Seville and beyond.
He accompanied him on percussion louis amadorAnd it was not a success. Not because of its artistic quality, which I do not question at any time, quite the contrary, but because it was an acoustic concert, without a PA system, the cajon ate up the guitar's volume on numerous occasions and we could not fully appreciate its sound.
«Ramón gave a lesson in playing. He offered a high-quality recital. He set the bar very high and made me fall in love again. Because his guitar is made of silk and fire. He hit the mark. pellizcoYes, scratches, but mostly caresses.
Ramón excelled with a strong, warm and firm touch, with enviable neatness, with security and ease. He stood out above all in the picados, always clean, with fast and precise scales. He was tremendous with the alzapúas. His tremolos stood out brilliantly, crystalline. As did the arpeggios, whether in the first three or tied with the bass strings, where he knew how to play his right thumb with absolute mastery. He combined the melodic and the harmonic in fresh falsetas, current and at the same time ancient, with his gaze on the Vicente, Gerardo, Paco…But they were all his. Superb, elegant and exquisite, he deciphered the mysteries of rhythm between his fingertips. And he earned a doctorate in composition.
