Canastera
'Canastera' seems to show the most experimental sides of these two flamenco virtuosos. It coincided temporarily with the flamenco 'duende' of Paco de Lucía (1972) y reflects the sound of that time with echoes and rever effects. It starts with an attempt at creating Cante, 'La Canastera', with a chorus that brings back the memories of the copla 'Ojos Verdes', originally written by Valverde, León y...

With the help of the London Symphonic Orchestra, Lole and Manuel's music is not progressive rock nor Sinfonic rock, but they did...
