Spanish Flamenco Music
Paco de Lucía
1947 -
No one revolutionized
Flamenco music as greatly and as intensely as Paco de Lucia.
Not only this, but besides bedazzling the world with his musical
magic in his youth, Paco de Lucía continues to bewitch
and influence young musicians.
In 1967 Paco de Lucía recorded his first
album entitles "La Fabulosa Guitarra de Paco de Lucía".
In 1968 he met singer Camarón
de la Isla and a team was formed, with both working together
for many years and well known in the Flamenco world. Their
first album together, "Fantasia Flamenca"
was recorded in 1969. In 1973 he released the successful album
"Fuente y Caudal" which included the popular
rumba "Entre dos aguas" as well as the
transition from traditional Flamenco music.
Paco de Lucia’s
musical horizon continued to expand through his participation
in works with numerous other jazz guitarists such as John
McLaughlin, Al DiMeola and Larry Coryell. In 1980, his next
album, featuring a guitar trio "Friday Night In San
Francisco", was released, which put Paco de Lucía
in the international spotlight. Many more musical highlights
followed this album with other jazz musicians and in 1987
Paco turned back to more traditional Flamenco music with the
release of his album "Siroco". This was
a successful chance to demonstrate to his listeners of what
a truly great composer and guitarist he really was.
Paco’s latest album "Cositas Buenas"
is made up largely of his own compositions, and also includes
collaborations by other artists such as Tomatito,
Jerry Gonzales, Alejandro Sanz and also famous Flamenco singers
La Tanta, Montse Cortés, El Potito and the late Camarón
de la Isla.
