Someone Who Inspired Me

Do you think it can be a conflict listening to hardcore hip-hop after the last hits of electro-dance music?

Or before put any flamenco record on the music player?

Well, no doubts it can be done, I mean, look at myself, I have no problem with mix and enjoy different music genres.

But has never been a problem? I guess that when you look back and you see how you used to be, you think “How dumb and unskilled I was”
I haven’t always have the ability (let’s call it ability, why not) to enjoy eclectic and different kinds of music.
I guess it all started ten years ago, more or less. I had recently discovered an Spanish hip-hop artist called Distorsion M., and as I enjoyed a few of his records, I started following him at Facebook (I guess this is a ritual, nowadays)

Then, few days later, he posted a link to an interview he had done; this link, added to my motivation of wasting five more minutes in front of the computer, made me read it.
And there was, after the typical questions that can be asked to a musician, arrived the one

“-What are you currently listening to now?
-I just discover a few groups of flamenco fusion which are awesome!”

Flamenco fusion? What does it mean? Is THAT even a genre?
Seemed to me like “something only your parents will enjoy”

Really didn’t expect that, and maybe was the shock that made me think “why don’t give a chance?”

So, I gave it a chance, I listened to those groups and surprisingly I enjoyed. After this… obviously not every single group I have listened, I liked; but I can tell you that I discovered awesome groups far away from my mainly music taste.
This is how, Curro Morales, as known as Distorsion M., who I admired as an artist, made me open my music preferences.
