Following generation

The pioneer movements of new flamenco are already three or four decades old, and therefore have children... and even grandchildren. Direct heirs of Smash and Veneno are the Jerez group Los Delinqüentes. They coined the term ‘garrapatero’ to define their music, which has drawn on flamenco and street rock. Triana leaves its indelible mark on the group ElBicho, which with an extroverted vocalist, also likes arranging typical Spanish coplas with retro metals. But there are also traditionalists. Amidst so many experiments looking outwards, quite curious is the act of Son de la Frontera, who recover the legacy of Diego del Gastor and combine it with popular Cuban music. There will be more offers to renew new flamenco... it's only a matter of time. The album ‘Fragua futura’ by Nuevos Medios, the record company that presented most of the groups of this trend, provides a few clues. Keep an eye out for Kímica, who is a recommendation by none other than Pepe Habichuela.
