Mundos Alternos (Buleria) by Alfredo Caceres – YouTube

Superbly played and captured, I love this version of the Bulerias. The guitar is Córdoba’s premier Flamenco model, the Master Series Reyes. Need to get one someday.

Alfredo Caceres performs Mundos Alternos (Buleria) using a Cordoba Reyes model from the Master series. The signature quality of a Reyes guitar is in its dual personality — when played gently, it sings sweetly with a beautiful melodic voice, yet when driven hard, the biting, aggressive side is released. Flamenco guitars like the Reyes have a lower action than classical guitars, and so there tends to be a slight amount of “sizzle” to each note. This is produced from a very slight amount of intentional buzzing of the strings off the frets. This is what gives a flamenco an almost snare-drum like “pop” to the sound — whether one is playing scales (picado), strums (rasgueado) or the other various flamenco techniques (such as alzapua, tremolo, etc), these guitars are built and set up to deliver the authentic flamenco sound.
