For the first installment of the new online feature, First Listen, Cordoba is streaming the genre-bending band Flametal’s new album “Heavy Mellow” in its entirety. Fronted by Cordoba-endorsed artist Ben Woods, Flametal blends the fiery flare of flamenco with the dark intensity of heavy metal. On “Heavy Mellow”, Ben pays tribute to his favorite heavy metal tunes in the traditional flamenco style. Most of these songs were recorded with little more than a Cordoba 55FCE and a laptop.

World famous flamenco-pop group the Gipsy Kings recently recorded a fiery flamenco version of Randy Newman’s famous :You’ve Got a Friend in Me”for this summer’s upcoming animated blockbuster “Toy Story 3″ using their signature Cordoba guitar models. Recorded in London at the storied Abbey Road Studios, the Gipsy Kings’ take on “You’ve Got a Friend in Me (Para Buzz Español)” will be featured in the film and on the official soundtrack. Over the past decade, Cordoba and the Gipsy Kings have worked closely to develop the group’s signature guitars: the thinbody cutaway 55FCE and the fullbody cutaway FCWE. The new Cordoba GK Studio model is based on the original FCWE.

“In Toy Story 3, Buzz Lightyear accidentally gets switched into Spanish-language mode, and there’s a fun Paso Doble-inspired dance between Spanish Buzz and Jessie,” says TS3 director Lee Unkrich. “We got the crazy idea to have a band record a raucous flamenco cover of Toy Story’s signature song in Spanish, and we thought the Gipsy Kings would be perfect.”

On May 11, 2010, the Gipsy Kings appeared on the hit TV series “Dancing with the Stars” to perform the new song, playing signature Cordoba guitars during the live show. Watch the video.

Due for release this June, Toy Story 3 is an animated 3D adventure, featuring Buzz Lightyear, Woody and the rest of the central characters from earlier films in the franchise. The Toy Story 3 soundtrack will be available digitally from Walt Disney Records on June 15.

Founded in 1997, Cordoba is a leader and innovator in the acoustic guitar and ukulele market. The instruments are internationally distributed, and played by a growing, eclectic group of talented musicians. Learn more at www.cordobaguitars.com.

Last night, the Gipsy Kings performed the new Toy Story theme on the international television hit Dancing with the Stars. Lead-guitarist Tonino, along with other members of the group, played Cordoba guitars during the performance. As endorsees of Cordoba, the Gipsy Kings have worked closely with the company to produce signature guitar models: the 55FCE and GK Studio.
