Video of the Week
Artist: Vincente Amigo
Song: "Tango del Arco Bajo"
Country: Spain
View This Video Now!
�
No stranger to Link viewers, Vicente Amigo is one of the finest of the new crop of Flamenco guitar wizards.� Born in Seville, he grew up in Granada, both hotbeds of the genre. At the age of eight he was given his first Spanish guitar and showed amazing aptitude and precocity on the instrument. Now thirty-one years later, he has built a distinguished career and played with some of the giants of Flamenco. His "City of Ideas" CD won a Grammy in 2001, and how he is back with another release and tour "Tango del Arco Bajo." is a smoldering black and blue�-tinted mood piece, wherein Amigo claps his hands and plays brilliantly. And the shot from inside the guitar is worth the price of admission alone!

January 26, 2006
I stumbled into LINK TV last night, and watched for four
hours mesmerized.All day the three powerful and unique stories I watched have
been re-running through my head; and I cant stop telling people about LINK. I
have a question. Black harvest seems like something every American coffee
drinker should see. Is there a way for me to by a DVD of this documentary?
January 23, 2006
You are a insight to those of us who are imprisoned by
invisable media bars that poison us ....& seperate our sight to the truth...
we are being blinded daily , the world does not realize we do� care - just
cannot see...
