PACO DE LUCIA - Almoraima (Bulerias) (1976 UK Live TV Performance) ~ HIGH QUALITY HQ ~ 

No drugs, no girls, este extranjero no tiene ni idea de lo que es paco de Lucia

he did use marijuana im pretty sure

Paco de Lucia loved weed

But this is not what made him the best guitarist. It's all the hours of practice instead of school and homework. Musicians' night life is the reason for girls and drugs which probably cut his life shorter than if he took more care of himself.

Well he did smoke two packs of cigarette each day and had five children.

Most apt observation.

Works of art are broadcast all the time. Miley Cyrus' "eat my stinky poosy" comes to mind

@@ConcedoNulli it is what it is, it's a bulerias ...it's a genre in flamenco. Has its own swing just like jazz and a lot of the charm is about the rhythm and percussion and the fast tempo which is normal for this genre, there are other stuff of his more melodious if mad virtuosity is not your thing. Started hearing this type of music about 20 years ago and it made almost no sense to me cause of the "weird" rhythm, it's not 4/4 like regular music and it's not waltz either. Once your ear gets around this and you can see hear how it repeats, becomes much more enjoyable. If you listen other flamenco genres like tangos, or rumba or fandangos which have a more conventional rhythm I think you would find it more bearable. Not very surprising traditional music makes no sense if it's not your tradition the first time you hear it, but if you grow up hearing it it's different. I wonder how was for people to listen to blues for the first time, pretty sure it took a while to "get it"

¡Han cambiado para peor!. ¿Será cierto que todo tiempo pasado fue mejor?. ¡En música, así parece!.

what nonsense my man. Thats freaking BBC four, very few people cared about this back in 76 as well. Just as little as people care today about great flamenco guitarists. But its not that you never see virtuoso players on TV. You see them quite frequently for other instruments like piano or violin in big concert-evenings on TV, even on the main channels. There's better music out there than ever, just eat less of those memberberries and keep your eyes open for the good stuff.

Where are you from

Oh my, I guess a year after making this comment you will have come across even better performances. Have you watched the documentary, La Busqueda? His musical soulmate, the great Cameron de la Isla is also featured.

The camera work was lousy.

​@michaelmckinney7240 that's how flamenco works..

"Quite possibly one of the best ever recorded live guitar performances in any genre" 2024 March, it's the first time I see it and I was thinking precisely the same thing! 🤗 ok, we would have to know what the master thought, but knowing him a little, he would surely think that he could do it better... 🙃😊

patrick connors With out a doubt! Number one!

patrick connors I can't agree more. Sure, others are great, but they pale in comparison.

He said himself that he wasn’t as good as Dimeola.

Jose Garcia Very true. I only just started watching him but noticed that right away.

Segovia

Amazing

Oranges and apples.

j en sais quelque chose cela fait 10 ans que j essaye j ai 50 ans de pratique guitare classique ,c est vrai d une difficulté extrême tous ses morceaux, pour sa rapidité du picado il faudrait jouer 8 h par jour ,sa soeur avait dit toute la journée et tacataca j ai son cd de toute sa Biographie

Damn right. I grew up with his music and was lucky enough to see him live. Real genius!

We don't care of the difficulty, if you talk about virtuosity man ! We just need to feel it, that's it !

Go watch Grisha Gorayev doing this piece you will be amazed by how far human beings can go if they really want to(:

@@zemach4422 I saw Grisha's video first and then wanted to see if the original still held up to its name 😉😂

There is similar story... manolo sanlucar say: paco its nice for people who dont know music, and makes crazy they whom know about music

@@zemach4422 this might actually be one of the few pieces Grisha managed to play on Paco's level. But generally Paco was mountains above Grisha.

Completely agree.

Depresivo?, todo lo contrario hermano, inspirador.

La musica no es una competencia

А Ниньо Мигель?

@@user-mv7in Sabicas, Paco Cepero, Moraito Chico... there's a lot of Flamenco players that are just outstanding, for me the best are Sabicas, Niño Miguel and Paco de Lucia

100 percent. Glad im not the only one that thinks so

Without a doubt!!! The maximum exponent ever!

Your is a great idea. I cannot believe that 366 people did not like this genius. Very disrespectful! They should not be allowed to do that!

its probably some guitarists

They actually did it

@@rogerivy2919 some butt-hurt guitarists who have no discipline or emotion let alone have the talent to match a fraction of what PACO plays with his eyes open.

careful what you wish for

Buckethead is a Spanish guitarist, he just born in the wrong place.

Musica del infierno al diablo se biene

Ha muchos españoles la guitarra es una manera de expresarnos con los demás y también nos produce una sensación de paz que es indescriptible saludos desde España

You fui en un tour en Espana. El muchacho dijo que no los consideraba parte de la cultura Espanola, sino giant flamenco. Era un racista ignorante como muchos en Espana. Lastima que el muchacho hablaba Cinco idiomas...la ignorancia no tiene limite. Paco es lo mejor!!!

Las multiples texturas de la musica flamenca....manitas de plata,etc. Lo massimo.!!!

Ты забыл самого величайшего Ниньо Мигеля

@@jaimecueva121 El tema es interesante. El flamenco desde luego no es una creación española, es producto de la evolución de músicas de origen gitano (desde su peregrinación desde la zona de la India, pasando por todo oriente medio y europa), y de su fusión con otras culturas musicales. En particular, con la música árabe que trajeron los musulmanes a la península, aunque también con otras como la fenicia o la cartaginesa (casi todo esto en la mitad sur de la península). Como siempre, la cultura no tiene dueño. Quien la sienta, la disfrute y/o la avance es parte de ella, y muchos españoles se sienten identificados con el flamenco. Sin embargo, es innegable que el principal motor del flamenco han sido siempre los gitanos, que la han respirado día a día, que lo han escuchao, cantao, tocao y bailao en la calle y en sus casas a diario. El flamenco es parte de la cultura española, pero sobre todo es un pilar de la cultura gitana. Todo esto sin entrar en el tema de cómo los gitanos suelen percibirse en la sociedad española (vagos, delincuentes, mentirosos, etc.), pero cóm se nos hincha el pecho en España al defender aspectos de la cultura que nos han proporcionado los mismos gitanos a los que denostamos.

You really talked to vai?

@@digletttexano678 I am really sure she has...

Even “Slowhand” Eric Clapton stated Paco was the best guitarist of all time.

thanks for writing down an intelligent comment, most of the people don't know anything about music, that's deeply true, and Paco can be considered as the mozart of guitar in my opinion

+Tony Gazza Nah, better than Mozart.

+aretium1231 , yes I agree with you, Paco De Lucia music is like foods to my ear

+aretium1231 , yes I agree with you, Paco De Lucia music is like foods to my ear

WHile Paco has been my hero since I was a kid, I would argue that many musicians have had a MUCH bigger influence in the 20th century. 1. Stravinsky, 2. Louie Armstrong, 3. George Gerswin 4. Glenn Gould, 5. John Williams 6. Prokofiev 7. Sly Stone 8. James Brown 9. Chuck Berry 10. Elvis 11. The Beatles 12. Jimi Hendrix 13. Janis Joplin 14. The Doors really the list goes on regarding INFLUENCE. Regarding GUITAR, I agree 100%

He's not. Django Reinhardt is number 1.

More like you hear a lot of Spanish in blues

What can I say after U!?

His dream was to be a songer but this was impossible for him; solution: his guitar take the place of the songer.... (I hope you understand muy poor english).

ror sara i agree with you

I read an obituary which said something like he was poised like a majestic horseman when he played.

Sounds like you just find it hard to admit to yourself that you are enjoying a flamenco piece. But its a beautiful genre, enjoy it proudly!

hurrrr no one can like two different things duhhh hey basement guitar guy, I have a master's in classical guitar and even I don't go around dinging legends like a moron

+Phil Taylor true that man !

What is so difficult about it?

@@skydragon5555 hahaha its so technically complicated. At least for newish/intermediate guitarists. It takes lots of hard work to even sound close to Paco de Lucía's example right here.

Makes me embarrassed to claim to "play" guitar.

@@skydragon5555 you are either complete noob or complete pro to say this

@@ummagumma9969 Lmao I got no idea about guitar so a total noob lol. Sorry if it sounded the other way

They were so moved by the performance, that they accidentally clicked the wrong button. Other explanations do not make sense to me!

I'd rather prefer to say: Fuck 'em all.. Bunch of mediocres & pussies

They simply don't understand what's going on here. They have just listened to the most talented guitarist in human history and confusion has set in.......

Verdadero?
