This is an outrage.! To say Alejandro Sanz is related in anyway to New Flamenco is opposite to accurate! Only musicians who stick to the flamenco tradition of improvisation, placing sound first and virtuosism while mixing it should be included here! Otherwise you should regard Gypsie Kings as New Flamenco
This section lacks BIGTIME!!! Time to expand!
I disagree with the article entirely. It gives the uninformed reader a very false impression, while offending readers whom are familiar with flamenco music. From the "compas" perspective of flamenco, only Gerardo Nuñez, Diego El Cigala comply. Ketama and most of the other musicians mentioned should be more correctly called "flamenco pop".
I am changing the "New Flamenco" section as follows. I am deleting the introductory sentence "The group Ketama has a salsa derived New Flamenco style and has become one of the most important New Flamenco groups from Spain.", and replacing it with an introduction to a concept which does slightly more justice to the subject "new flamenco".
I am deliting the sentence "Saxophonist Jorge Pardo, pianist Chano Dominguez and guitarist Gerardo Nuñez are all Jazz inspired New Flamenco musicians, and can be called acknowledged flamenceros." Because I am not sure if the mentioned musicians are supposed to be jazz inspired flamenco musicians, or flamenco inspired jazz musicians, or both. The term "flamenceros" does not exist. It is simply "flamenco".
I am deleting Diego El Cigala from the following sentence, and replacing the term "fused flamenco" with the term "fused latino" because using the word "flamenco" to describe anything of such nature is misleading.
"More multi-faceted artists, such as singers Pata Negra, Alejandro Sanz, Diego El Cigala, Martirio and guitarists Lyloly, Jesse Cook, Ottmar Liebert, Young & Rollins, and Luis Villegas have fused flamenco with such diverse styles as latin jazz, salsa, rock, pop, blues and son."
