  Spain - Michel Camilo & Tomatito   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Flamenco guitarist extraordinaire, Tomatito (literally "little tomato," named after his father and grandfather, both known as Tomate) rose to national and international prominence when he joined Camarón de la Isla, considered by some (including Paco de Lucía) to be one of the greatest flamenco singers of all times.
Tomatito played with Camarón for many years until the singer's tragic death at the age of 42 in 1992.
Tomatito moves seamlessly between tango, milonga, and flamenco making the genres flow in and out of each other, the Spanish guitar being their common link.

Tomatito not only has an innate sense of rhythm but the compás is engraved on his subconscious with the result that he plays it without having to think twice.
