En Compás with Agustín

Who is Agustín El Moro? A kid in Atlanta sees flamenco on PBS at thirteen and never quite shakes it. A first guitar in San Diego in '91, a one-way pull to Spain in '92, and lessons that started in Spanish and never really stopped. In this first episode I tell you where the name El Moro comes from, lay down the One Rule of this show — craft and history only, no scene drama — and talk about the guitarists who built my ear: Diego del Gastor, Pedro Bacán, Tomatito, Vicente Amigo. And I tell you what this podcast is for: the view from the guitarist's chair — playing for dancers, playing for singers, and carrying thirty years of San Diego flamenco into whatever comes next. I'm not done yet.En Compás with Agustín — flamenco in San Diego and California. New episodes every other week.
