Music is music .... how can you start to enjoy it when all you do is quantify its genre.... i think you miss the point of enjoying music.. music is not an entity that you should quantify... such a pity... what a waste :(
Great to see this virtuoso actually playing (as opposed to slideshows set to his music). Where did this footage come from? Is there a higher res version available?
@g23el its called Libre from the album Mi Passion :) If you like this music I recommend you to buy or get Armik's album Gypsy Flame from 1995. That is the best Flamenco on earth....Tango Flamenco, Pure Paradise, Alone with you, For your eyes, Meet you in heaven, Gypsy Flame, Mystical Eden....all hits.
To be more accurate, Armik is considered Nuevo Flamenco. Which is Flamenco mixed with modern pop and world music, and very often played with a pick. Another example of this style would be Strunz and Farah.
Dude, please don't say you play Flamenco! You play with pick and all you play in Spanish theme is fast picado. When you call it Flamenco, people think Flamenco is this! Please listen to Paco de lucia, Vicente Amigo, Tomatito, and other great Flamenco players, and then listen to your own play. C'mon! Don't call it Flamenco, it's an insult!
@bboyarshak Yes he is. Go on Google and read his biography. He is a Christian Iranian(Persian) and left Iran in 1981 after the revolution due to restrictions in musical activities
Hard to believe how many personal e mails i have had from him and ordered cd's that he personally signed. He is one of a kind on flamenco guitar and i have never heard one cd that i did not like! He is that good!
Armik; The Best of todays New Age Flamenco genre, no-one can match him for Romantic Guitar. Govi and Jesse Cook high on the list but Armik has just a bit of an edge on them.
This is a guy playing a "spanish guitar" and nothing more. Beyond that only a distant relationship with flamenco because it's the same TYPE of guitar. Not the same type of MUSIC. I personally prefer Flamenco.
Listen to Paco de Lucia, Paco Cepero, Tomatito etc.
torer... Armik's website describes him as "... one of the most adulated virtuosos of the Nuevo Flamenco genre...". Also Armik's latest album is entitled "Fuego Gitana - The Nuevo Flamenco Collection". Even though his music has a unique sound he has clearly been identified with the Nuevo Flamenco movement.
and by the way Armik IS NOT FLAMENCO!!!!! Do you want to hear flamenco-listen to gererdo nunez, paco de lucia, tomatito, ramon montoya, sabicus-then..you will KNOW FLamenco music!
Actually its called flamenco fusion or nuevo flamenco. However, Armik sounds different from others who sound alike(Cook Liebert, etc.) Armik is certainly unique, there is no like him.
Armik es masavilloso guitarrista,toca la guitarra con un talento extraordinario...Lo que me parece muy interesante es que el siendo un Iranis,su guitarra caiga al estilo flamenco moderno,toca hermoso que sin ser Espanol es un autentico musico flamenco 5********** mas que esto saludos a todos Dalilah
I have had personal e mails from this man being such a big fan for almost 10 yrs. I love flamenco guitar and he is one of the best. I have autorgraphed cd's and a poster that he personally sent me. One of a kind with a god given talent.
