You should hear the rendition of The Flintstones theme also on this disc.

I'm ruined. I need Gabriela Quintero banging percussion on a guitar with this.

This sounds like it would be great to watch.

Jimmy Rosenberg and his brothers are keeping the mighty Django alive. Excellent.

Que Pasa. What's happening is that this dude ought to learn how to play his guitar. ...
Wow. That's smoking.

I just noticed that the ASIN is wrong for this song; it should be B0041IRNSE .

Interesting tune ..& the disk is seriously out of print.
Where the hell do you find these things?

I got mine when Public Radio Music Source was a thing. You called them on the phone and told them what music you wanted. They'd even make suggestions like a live person doing Pandora. Then they'd give 10% to your local public radio station.

Too "busy" for 3AM.

Damn! The commentary on this obscure tune is the very reason i listen to this station.   Oh, and the music, sorry Bill.

Edit:  Cynaera comment 6 spots below.  Insightful and warmly amusing, like most of them were. 

  
There is something comically frenetic about this work. A young Steve Martin or Jim Carrey spastically tap-dancing to a bit of this would be funny as hell. I'd buy a ticket to your movie, unclehud.

And yes, Cynaera's post was great. I started chuckling before I even realized who'd written it. She had a lovely personality that really comes out in her words.  We all miss her. 

Right now, Leon Russell's "Stranger in a Strange Land" is on. Weird outer-space blippings in it but my God his chorus is just A-MAY-ZING on that song.

I love the complexity of this guitar play.

There are probably a couple of marketing zombies at Disney who may see that as well; but I suppose one could craft animation for any music given "inspiration".

Very nice to hear this on RP! There is a nice docu about Jimmy Rosenberg and his  not so nice life... https://youtu.be/Bpc1G1e3SOU
What a talent. By some, he was called reincarnation of Django at the time.

My very first guitar was a wide-necked behemoth with thick nylon strings. I got it for five bucks at a yard sale, because I wanted to be John Denver. Those strings ripped my fingers to bloody shreds, and I could never seem to do bar-chords because the neck was so much wider than my hand-span.

I later learned that to play Flamenco guitar (such as in this song) takes incredible talent, more-than-the-usual callouses on the fingertips, and the manual dexterity of a super-species.  No wonder I almost gave up guitar before I even started.

Which is why I completely love this song. Yeah, the guy looks like Orlando Bloom, but I bet Bloom can't make a classical, nylon-stringed guitar sound like this. I bow down. Incredible, awesome talent here. {#Notworthy}
 
Miss you so much, Cynaera...  this music is cool...

I've never been so embarrassed about laughing my head off at a comment.  Racist?  Kinda.  Accurate?  Very.

Actually, seems that he was 16 at the time the album was recorded.

I know what you mean but you shouldn't feel that way.  All guitars can be functional as musical instruments

Great guitar playing, well worth a 7 from the Nottingham jury, shame about the bumfluff caterpillars above the boys' lips....

I thought this was Paco de Lucia to begin with... nice, although speed alone doesn't do it, the artistry lies in timing and hesitation (Jeff Beck is a master at that) but I'll certainly be looking out for more of Sinti (and Jimmy R)

By the way, whatever happened to the Gypsy Kings?  This reminds me of them ...
