(El Niño de Almaden [1899-1968]: "A river meandering through the sunlight; passing through the darkest forests and coming out into the light again... What is special about Almaden is the way in which he can take the song to the limit, swoop and rise suddenly to break the tension, and slow down, to move the listener with notes which are only faintly discernible in the distance... holding back with a fragility that comes from the depths of the soul...")

(Terremoto de Jerez [1934-1981]: "He's a force of nature, a soaring mountain peak, a turbulent cascade, a peninsula jutting out to sea, a raging volcano. He's a tidal wave breaking over a rocky promontory and bearing everything away in its wake.... For once we have a cantaor whose name reflects his vocation: terremoto means 'earthquake.'")

(Ramón Montoya [1879-1949]: "He frequented the Café de la Marina as a child, endlessly watching the fingers of the great fin de siècle guitarists and little by little receiving advice from them.

Thus Ramón, who never learned how to read music, 'created his own technique, using his creative genius to synthesize all that he saw and heard.'")
