Honestly a couple of really outstanding review texts from Aloysius and TechnicLePanther
I was thinking about what Aloysius said with flamenco leaning to the trebly side of things. That could be a thing that keeps me at an arms distance, since I tend to complain about songs in all sorts of genres if they feel unusually trebly to me. It didn't cross my mind when I listened to this album myself, originally.
I'm not sure I want to return to Bola again and again to try and develop an appreciation for it - but I do want to take a closer look at flamenco. I think I could get along with it well after some adjustment and exploration.
Alo's flamenco journal might come in handy for me
