Any ideas?

I'm looking for songs that contain flamenco/classical guitar elements in them but don't belong to the genre itself. For example, something like "Out of Time" by Blur or "Blindman" by Diverse but not Otmar Leibert. Any help is much appreciated.

"Aloneagainor" by Love

― Softly Weeping at the Oki Dog (Ben Boyer), Wednesday, 11 August 2004 15:24 (twenty-one years ago)

umm, black saint and the sinner lady by charles mingus has flamenco stuff in "group dancers". this is certainly closer to the original genre than love or blur, but not ottmar liebert.

The Monkees - Valleri

Simon Fisher Turner uses a lot of classical/Spanish guitar in his ambient-type stuff. See the Deux Filles albums, etc.

That's the first thing that came to my mind as well ... "Rendez-Vu".
Also Tindersticks - "Her".
