'14 FLAMENCO POP BEAT BIG HITS 1968-1977' - "Flamenco Pop. Just like any other label, it is born out of the need to define in two words a series of songs that share a same stimulus. The term was coined in the late sixties on the eponymous record released by Alfonso Santisteban (Madrid, 1943-M�laga, 2013) and Rafael Ferro, 'Flamenco Pop' (Sinton�a, 1969/M�sica para un Guateque Sideral, 2018), an easy listening wonder with a bossa nova edge that takes flamenco elements and melodies to recreate sophisticated instrumental atmospheres. Santisteban had previously produced recordings for Bambino, Lola Flores, La Polaca or Chacho, and was a renowned soundtrack composer.

Waitzman, who married stylish singer Encarnita Polo in 1969, took his wife to the top of the charts with the single 'Paco, Paco' (RCA, 1969) first, and with the LP 'Encarnita Polo Y Ol�' (RCA, 1971) two years later, an LP on which he mixed his love for The Beatles' 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' with popular couplets (or "coplas" as they call them in Spain defining a whole genre) written by Quintero-Le�n-Quiroga, Sevilla's very own answer to Holland-Dozier-Holland at that time. He had previously produced some beat and prog-rock outfits like Canarios, Pop-Tops or the legendary UK ex-pat band The End. Last but not least, Alguer�, who married the explosive Carmen Sevilla in 1961, who had already attempted to mold his wife's flamenco talent on the 'Flamenca Ye-Y�' 45 (Philips, 1965), was also a key character in the era thanks to his many soundtracks, among them the iconic 'Tuset Street' (Philips, 1968). The selection of this compilation has a bit of everything. A pac...
