As always, please give respect to the Artist who make the music that moves us! Clip Used: • Paco de Lucia - Entre ... Smoking is a very bad habit. Highly addictive to some people, like Rollen. Rollen understands it's unhealthy.
"You say I am a guitar legend. You have no idea. There are only two or three guitarists that can be considered legends. Above all is Paco de Lucía," said Keith Richards.
it was said by keith some famous artists also said paco is the greatest artist they ever saw there was a story on an american artist getting invited to pacos summer house in mallorca and when she got asked what insturnment does she play she said the guitar and after a few seconds when she saw paco she fainted and everyone laughed @@adamsamuel6706
In 1970…..As a young lad, I traveled to Europe, to Spain, in search of Flamenco. Walking those mythical streets for hours, I stumbled upon Calle (Street) Ilustracion #7....the home of Paco de Lucia. I bravely, yet nervously, rang the bell and his lovely mother, Lucia, welcomed me in, escorting me to where Paco was studying in the back sunroom. With food & drink at hand...a typical Mediterranean custom I knew so very well as a Hellene ( Greek ), we spoke and played what seemed like hours and, at the end, promised that I would arrange a concert for him in Chicago. We bonded immediately then. He offered to teach me in Algeciras ( his summer home)..yet, foolishly, I became entangled with a beautiful young lady from South Africa... GRAVE MISTAKE !!. Paco later on said that he would have stayed with that "Mujer", too ! Ooh La La Before I left Spain, he made me promise a concert in Chicago and I agreed. Years passed, when back in Chicago, I established the Classical & Flamenco Guitar Studies at the Guitar Dept. at the famed "Arlington School of Music", in Arlington Heights, IL. With these credentials, I worked up enough courage to approach famed Impresario….. Harry Zelzer….of Allied Arts Corp at Orchestra Hall in Chicago and, as he quibbled ( money, of course ) with Paco's International Impresario Sol Hurok in New York city, I persuaded both of them to bring Paco de Lucia to Chicago for a gala concert. Zelzer even agreed to bring the fabulous Sabicas (The King of the Flamenco Guitar) also...on the same Guitar Concert Series including Andres Segovia. I called Sabicas in New York.... but,alas, no answer. This proved to be the greatest "Guitar Series" in Chicago's History! I called Paco long distance (no cell phones then) and he told me his agent informed him of his Chicago debut. Paco then told me to grab my guitar and preceded in working with me on "Entre Dos Aguas" as I was holding the phone, glued to my chin...for over an hour. No cell phones then....Ouch! “Que No... Hombre !” "NO NO... La Menor 7 (a minor 7)"...Paco would scream. “No Maldita Sea. JUGAR CORRECTAMENTE....TU MARICON !! ( how rude ). This went on for 30 minutes more until he was satisfied with my results. He arrived in Chicago and, staying at my apartment, we played all night. The next day , we drove to Orchestra Hall on Michigan Ave, and rehearsed there with the sound and lighting engineers. That evening, Paco played flawlessly to the utter shock of the audience...top professional Guitarists from all corners of the United States, Canada and Mexico.....riveted into their seats. They never heard a guitar sound so explosive, so emotional, so flawless technically.... so Espanol...so Gitano! It came time for his last piece..."Entre Dos Aguas" and I walked onto that immortal stage and accompanied him to the never ending screams of the audience... the "Latinos.... y Latinas" …. in dance form... drowning out our performance with perpetual "OLE'S !" That following day, at the airport, Paco asked me to join him on his tour across the Southeastern USA. This is when I was reborn. This is where my career began.....getting to know the intimate Paco, his loves and fears, the secrets of his monstrous technique, phrasing and study habits. Years later, Paco called and informed me of his new affiliation with AL Di Meola and John McLaughlin in their "Friday Night in San Francisco Tour" at Chicago's Auditorium Theatre...a legendary concert hall with perfection in Acoustics. I arrived at that afternoon's rehearsal and noticed Paco's sound was awful...couldn't hear the guitar. Without thinking, I ran back home, retrieved my Sennheiser Mic Paco used at Orchestra Hall, years before, to the utter satisfaction of Paco and the sound engineer...… ( try talking your way out of a speeding ticket with an Illinois State Trooper.) Night came, audience brimming with young eager, guitarists, whether Rockers, Jazz Pros, Country Artists from Nashville or famed Classical guitarists , they were all there waiting to get a glimpse of this......."Paco de Lucia". Lights dimmed to the constant rustling of hungry youth...then...it happened...... ALL HELL BROKE LOSE! Well ! ... This "Paco de Lucia" simply exploded with "The Face of An Angel And With The Technique of A Demon" The audience gasped, going wild with hundreds and hundreds of cigarette lighters ablaze in hand, to the sound of "The Holy Three". "Musical History Had Been Made !" The next morning, I drove Paco and John to the airport...said our goodbyes in Hellenic-Hispanic Style...and promised that we would attend each other's funeral who would die first. That was the last time I saw Paco. Sadly, he died first and I angrily realized that my passport had expired, at the last minute. It was too late for me to go. I was incarcerated in my home, shocked and immobile upon hearing of his death.... my life with Paco flashing before my eyes. After all this time, and after these many, many years looking back.... I can only say...... "Paco!" "Hermano" "Escuchame !"...... "When it is my time to enter the Pearly Gates of Heaven (if I get there, that is) ...I'm bringing that Sennheiser Mic with me.... . .we"ll jam all night”. “The entire Universe will hear you again... .LIVE! “ "Esperame, mi Amigo!" “Wait for me, My friend" Memories!
Me emocioné al leerlo. Que gran fortuna haber conocido a Paco y disfrutar de su amistad!! Seguro que te esperará en el cielo y podréis seguir tocando toda la eternidad.
What a beautiful, nostalgic and exciting story. It makes you reflect on existence, on how fragile life is... you have been privileged by your experience, which you will carry embedded in your being until eternity... Greetings from the ends of the world, Chile...
Beautiful story thanks for sharing. Wow, Sabicas was a guitar giant, his technique also impecable. It was him who told a young Paco de Lucia to start composing his own music if he wanted to succeed in the music business.
Gracias señor, por reaccionar a Paco de Lucia, y por su subtítulos en español. El no toca la guitarra, la acaricia, sentimiento y arte. Saludos desde España.
Éste es una de tantas increíbles composiciones que nos dejó el gran Paco de Lucía,hay muchas más, Gracias por reaccionar a éste video,y ojalá te hadentres más en nuestra cultura,un cordial abrazo desde España 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Just to let you know. Paco de Lucia normally plays the flute part as well. For some reason he gave the flute it's 15 minutes of fame. RIP Paco. One of the top three guitarists of all time.
Paco de Lucía is the greatest flamenco guitarist that the Earth is known. He revolutionized the genre with an impeccable technique and a speed of execution that many have copied. He is considered a genius by the whole community of guitarists of all types of music because he realized with his fingers what others do with a pick.
Así es pero antes de el estaba niño Miguel niño ricardo.sabicas etc.que Paco tenía otro sentido y noslo atraído 1911 2090.Y no abra otro.pero antes abia muy muy buenos
que le den por culo a ser humilde, era reservao y sabia y queria ser el mejor que lo era y es y punto. Hasta los cojones de los "humildes" comentarios que luego encima suelen ser como personas unos falsos ("orgullo de ser humilde" que chorrada). yo soy descendiente de la raza que creo el primer imperio global de este planeta. Toma humildad.
I have a huge soft spot for this stuff❤️🔥😁👍!!! Not even sure why, I just know it speaks to me🤗. I hope your doing well Mamasita ❤️🔥. always great to see you🫂! I'm hoping to get to that dance competition request of yours later😏. I started it yesterday, but only had time for a listen, not a sit and watch. So I put it on hold, till I have the time, I'm a little curious. I have little to no rhythm, so I appreciate those that do so much more❤️🔥😉👍🚌💨💨💨💨💨
Yo no sé de guitarras pero según he oído en la Expo de Sevilla de 1992 se reunieron varios de los mejores guitarristas del mundo y Paco de Lucía demostró que era capaz de hacer técnicamente cualquier cosa que hiciera cualquier guitarrista de cualquier estilo, pero lo que el hacía los demás no podían hacerlo.
Love the pure joy and respect of your reaction. Discovered Paco when I was 13 and played guitar since. One of the best ever. If you've not reacted to him playing with Al Di meola and Jon Machlaughlin on Friday Night in San Francisco .. do. Classic guitar trio from 1980. Thank you for the content.
Diana is a very versatile singer. She sings different musical styles. The truth is that she is a very complete singer. She always transmits when she sings. With that particular voice she has. I recommend a live performance. It is worth seeing. The song is" CUPLERIAS GALA DE LOS PREMIOS CERES " Greetings from Spain
@@jositamoon5310 pues muy fácil de la misma forma que hay videos o actuaciones de ella y hay gente que en la caja de comentarios también recomiendan a otros cantantes
Paco de Lucia tocaba la guitarra española como nunca nadie la a tocado ni oa tocara .por que se estuvo 10 años en su habitacion tocando 8 , 10 , 12 h . y el talento extraordinario que tenia para hacerla hablar .
Es grande Rollen ,Paco de lucia es un genio soy español y lo vi en directo con Santana y lo siento, pero santana tuvo que asimilar la realidad y lo digo sin acritud. gracias.
"Entre dos aguas", España está entre dos aguas, el océano Atlántico y el mar Mediterráneo, pero puede significar algo más, gracias por reaccionar al gran guitarrista Paco de Lucía!!
He nacido escuchando a paco de lucía y ver como reaccionas me llena de orgullo. Todos mis respetos por ti y por la alegría q me has dado. Felicidades por tu canal. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Guiri ni te has coscao del toque del gran maestro jejeje, gracias por reaccionar al mejor guitarrista hasta el momento, un dato ENTRE DOS AGUAS FUE UNA CANCION DE RELLENO PARA COMPLETAR UN LP y es su mayor éxito, saludos desde Granada España
One of my favorites, t'he Mediterránean Sundance with Meola and McL was bases in that melody. I recommends you "Guajira de Lucía" by Paco de Lucía. Maybe the most south american piece of Paco.
My first introduction to Paco de Lucia was as part of the Guitar Trio with Al Di Meola (jazz fusion/shred legend who started his career playing in Return To Forever at just 19) and John McLaughlin (Yorkshire born jazz guitarist who played on several albums with Miles Davis, including Bitches Brew, before forming Mahavishnu Orchestra. He also collaborated with Carlos Santana and had another group Shakti that focused on material based off of Indian classical music) and their 1981 live acoustic album, Live In San Francisco.
This performance of Mediterranean Sundance has less of the raw energy of those earlier recordings but still gives a pretty decent idea of how insane the talent involved was: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tjPGuRYiaRo.html
Hey Andy when I saw the Guitar Trio live I was disappointed because they were so busy trying to outplay each other that there was no soul to the music. My then husband was a concert level Classical & Flamenco guitarist and even he was chagrined 🙄🤥
@@grumpybumme3289 I think with the later incarnations/tours they got caught up in their own hype somewhat, though DiMeola is always trying to outplay everyone else regardless. I love the playfulness of that first album.
Don Paco de Lucia es y será el mejor guitarrista del mundo, un virtuoso , solo hay q fijarse q toca con el corazón y sentimiento, tiene los ojos cerrados y no mira la guitarra
Paco de Lucia,nació en la provincia de Cádiz(sur de España)y está rodeada del Mar Mediterráneo y Océano Atlántico ,por eso se llama entre dos aguas.gracias👌👩⚕️😷🇪🇦
You are a machine (eres un máquina). You have all the art (tienes to el arte) 😂😂 Paco de Lucía is maybe the best of all times, i have seen him 3 times, fucking amazing
Yes he was amazing. I also saw him 3 times. Twice in london and once in Madrid. To be honest each gig was almost identical but it was still worth just to witness his greatness and ability
The song is trying to mimic the flow of a river as the water run around the rocks in the stream. Which to me is an amazing concept for a song. It seems so difficult to do this, yet I can clearly see in my mind how the water twirls and splashes around the rocks, and the fish swim around the current when I listen to this song.
See more from Paco de Lucia... The greatest Spanish guitarrrr 4ever. Need more than one day to understand what's fuckhin happen in youhead after listening Paco
That video is from 50 years ago or so... Paco de Lucia died at 67 in a mexican beach of a heart attack. Anyway there is a lot of videos of him playing everywhere and with everyone. Google them.
Paco de Lucía es el mejor guitarrista de flamenco y en general el mejor del mundo o sino del Olimpo de lo dioses de la guitarra. Que no sea conocido por los anglosajones no significa que no brillara en España e hispanoamérica.
Era taaaaaaan bueno que hasta los que creen que saben de guitarra (por haber visto a cuatro grupos muy buenos de rock -muy buenos, pero de rock-) tienen que admitir que era un Dios (aunque recién lo hayan conocido)
Shout out to grumpy ❤️🔥😁👍💯🚌💨💨💨💨💨!!! Absolutely nothing but ❤️🔥love❤️🔥!!! I personally have a soft spot for this stuff, so good❤️🔥😁👍. This guy is beyond outstanding ❤️🔥😁😉👍🚌💨💨💨💨💨💨
Escucha (el niño Miguel) un genio de su época adelantado.(vals flamenco) y la (zambra del moro). Hasta Paco de Lucia y los mejores músicos españoles iban a escucharle tocar para inspirarse. Era un genio

Eric Captón lo vio en directo en España y cuando termine l espectaculo Eric dijo...AL LADO DE PACO DE LUCIA YO SOY SOLO UN PRINCIPIANTE D MIERDA. PACO DE LUCIA ES EL MEJOR GUITARRISTA DEL MUNDO PORQ SIEMPRE IMPROVISABA Y ESO SOLO LO SABEN HACER LOS GENIOS
"Al verle he entendido que no sé tocar la guitarra". Mark Knopfler de Paco de Lucía. "Con Paco de Lucía se fue el Dios de la guitarra, el resto somos apóstoles". Eric Clapton de Paco de Lucía. "El Maestro, rey del flamenco gitano. La música está ahora en el cielo". Carlos Santana de Paco de Lucía. "A veces me han dicho que yo soy una leyenda de la guitarra. No tienen ni p… idea. Sólo hay dos o tres guitarristas de leyenda. Y muy por encima de todo guitarrista, Paco de Lucía". Keith Richards de Paco de Lucía. "No me atrevería a grabar con Paco de Lucía, no estoy a su altura" George Benson de Paco de Lucía. “Es un guitarrista asombroso. Llevo escuchándolo desde los catorce años”. Slash de Paco de Lucía. No existe un solo grande de la guitarra que no sepa que Paco de Lucía era único e irrepetible.
Sorry so much but … if this man knows Paco de Lucía right now (2022), then i have to say… who’s this guy??? Jajaja Really? Really do you know Paco now? Oh my God. What did you do all this time???
Paco de Lucia was very, very good. But another great guitarist of his time was Manolo Sanlucar. I send you a link of a joint performance of the two. enjoy it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RRPKSDmTuvs.html
Never claimed to be - sad you think a person must be an expert to enjoy Paco - I think I'll get some more Paco up soon and ask everyone if I should give him up - I don't know enough. WAIT - I know it's great music, what more would I need?
Escuchalo con CAMARON DE ISLA.son los mejores del arte flamenco tal para cual.camaron era gypsy.paco.no.don innato.nunca camarón estudio música.paco SI.hay tenéis la genialidad
Y el jazz de. Nueva Orleans, la muiñeira de Galicia, por tanto sólo un gitano puede escuchar flamenco. Paco no era gitano, era hijo de Lucía la portuguesa, tu comentario es ridículo.
it shocks me the ignorance... that is paco de lucia, the greatest guitar player ever... he did not make it to the american charts, in comparison with every other joke you can see on the usual lists of top ten guitar players... what an insult to the maestro, and to many other unknow geniuses.
Hola Adolfo ! Disculpame sin ánimos de menospreciar a nadie , el flamenco ya existía antes de la llegada del pueblo Gitano a la península, ellos aportaron como es el martinete y algún que otro palo del cante , pero como ya te he comentado ya existía ! Eso sí como camarón ya no sale otro en mil años ése gitano rubio era y será único, saludo desde Málaga 👋
!!! EL GRAN PACO DE LUCIA !!! JAMÁS HABRÁ OTRO GUITARRISTA COMO ÉL, QUE MARAVILLA DE HOMBRE TOCANDO LA GUITARRA, SIMPLEMENTE EL MAS GRANDE DE TODOS LOS TEIMPOS.
Siempre se ha dicho que si conectaremos con algún mundo alienigena les deberíamos mandar un mensaje pacificador con música de Bach,Beethoven o Mozart y quizá, en mi humilde opinión pienso que algo de Paco de Lucía aportaría una montaña de arena más a lo que se podría aportar no? BB King, Genesis, Zeppelin, Coltrane, Joaquín Rodrigo etc....
Paco de lucia,podría haber tocado cualquier instrumento de cuerda que le pusiesen en sus manos,,desde una guitarra electrica,una mandolina o un arpa,,etc etc,,,
The composition itself isn't that wonderful, although it is arguably his most famous one. His style and technique are unmatched. I don't think you will ever see a better guitar player
