Hey guys,

Looking for some good Spanish dance music…ala Gypsy Kings…but NO KEYBOARDS or techno stuff. Oh that drives my crazy. Any names/titles I should know about?

If you want Flamenco/rock check out Kiko Veneno, Rosario and Ketama.

For purer Spanish music try the late Camaron de la Isla.

Fusions include Radio Tarifa (Spanish-Moroccan) and Ketama’s collaboration with Toumani Diabate (Spanish-West African).

For novelty, how about some Flamenco-heavy metal? Medina Azahara. 😃

Give this one a try. You’ll be glad you did. [Steve Stevens-Flamenco-a-gogo](http://www.guitar9.com/flamencoagogo.html)

Yep. Steve Stevens, former Billy Idol guitarist, can play some damn Flamenco.
