a young Roma singer from Andalusia named Jose Monge Cruz, who called himself Camarón de la Isla.

"Island Shrimp"? Sounds like a rapper moniker.

This is a real shame. I saw him play with John McLaughlin and Al di Meola many years ago. By the end, the general consensus was that De Lucia was the best guitarist up there and he got the biggest ovation.

RIP.

I noticed on the link there is a picture of Chick Corea - has he ever lost some weight - I hope he is ok and just got into fitness or something like that.

Entre Dos Aguas (confluence of two streams) — there was some blending of styles going in there.
