About this episode

Ned and Paul are joined by world-class flamenco guitarist and composer Rafael Lloyd Iglesias for a rich discussion about the origins and history of flamenco, the musical magic that happens after the show, how a multicultural upbringing (and an early love for new romantic bands) informs his own approach to composing, working through otosclerosis (and the inspiration that comes from being able to hear again) and takeaways from time spent in the company of Paco de Lucía. Oh and also teaching Radiohead guitarist Ed O'Brien how to play flamenco. Learn more about Rafael and discover more of his work at www.flamencoguitarist.com "M21 Electro Flamenco" and "Sinfonía del Mar" are copyrighted by Rafael Lloyd Iglesias and used with permission of the composer.
