Paco Peña es el guitarrista mas puro y mas genial que he escuchado... Si de Paco hablamos simplemente es Paco, Paco Peña... el mejor guitarrista de flamenco de hoy en dia, el más puro el más maestro. Saludos.
I discovered Paco Pena here on RU-vid 1 or 2 years ago. He has changed me. I listen to all of these gems over and over again. He is a Living Treasure. All of the Masters are just that, masters. For me, Paco is my favorite by far.
Wow, I havent seen this since it was shown in danish TV in 1978. I was 14 and completely stunned. It made me start play guitar, though I never leaned to play flamenco. Its still a wonderful gem.
aclaro::: " el flamenco ha involucionao con paco de lucia"... Paco Peña es otra cosa, es mas puro, conserva esa esencia innata del verdadero duende flamenco. Lastima que no sea tan famoso como paco de lucia.
It is widely considered that Ramon Montoya invented this beautiful and sombre piece, and this is Paco's tribute to that great artist. For the Rondeña the tuning of the guitar is changed, the sixth string being tuned down a tone to D and the third a semi-tone to F sharp.
tiene mucha influencia de Sabicas... y por ahi hay que tomar mucho camino a seguir, no hay que perder ese toque magistral... esa corriente hermosa. Saludos.
esta " Rondena .." , maravillosamente tocada por Paco Pena , es la creacion de Mario Escudero ( y si no me equivoco, ....Paco aqui introduce algunas :" variaciones " (.....) Variaciones o no , esta Rondena es una de las " joyas ..." de los " solos " de la guitarra flamenca - Una preciosidad......................
i have a new found respect for acoustic. an this is normally coming from a metal head who only plays with a pick an distortion always on.......... but this was just beautiful
Y,.de.escuchar a " Ésta música ! ......y ahora , , ...Diga ( yo) , lo que diga , comentando. , ......" E espantaría a los - duendes."!!!... ........ .los .que , porhai....andan sueltos
I think I agree with you. When people compliment me in my concerts on my music I say yes thank you but it is not mine it is of Paco Peña. Saludos Tomás Jiménez
That is a good guitar for his playing style. Since it's an unusual wood for traditional flamenco(cypress, sycamore) it produces distinct sweet warm tone, complementary to his playing..
squirrelmaster89, NinoMig, elverdaderojavier & megabopp: The Rondeña is indeed considered Flamenco, and the form it's played in today was invented by Ramón Montoya (d. 1949), and recorded by him in 1936. The distinctive tuning (DADF#AD) was also invented by Montoya. All other versions, including Sabicas's, Paco Peña's and Lucía's, derive from Montoya. Montoya's definitive version is still available on CD. Paul Magnussen (Flamenco correspondent, Classical Guitar magazine)
By the way Paul Magnussen it is good to se you have time to make the helpful information here. I have not seen your name around since the old George Clinton/ Guitar International/ Spanish Guitar Centre (Leicester Sq) days so good to see you are still very much active in flamenco.
@TomasJimenezGuitar Actually not long after I said that, I saw Paco play his stunning new tour Flamenco sin Fronteras ! If you get the chance, do not miss the opportunity to see Paco weave Spanish and Latin American music in a spectacular way.
@themosmitsos yes, Rondeñas with s at end is a kind of almost folk/flamenco style from Ronda and is a little similar to fandangos but this piece here is Rondeña and it is profoundly flamenco and dark and more similar to the mining lament called Tarantas
ole tio, paco de lucia ha modificao musha cosas, el flamenco puro en vez de evolucionar dentro de sí mismo ha involucionao con paco, bueno asi lo llamo yo, tal vez el flamenco-bossa.jazz de paco sea mas lindo para mushos pero eso ya no es flamenco, la esencia pura trae otros vestidos que no le pertenecen. El flamenco puede evolucionar dentro de sí mismo y conservar su pureza tal y como el maestro Segovia lo decía. Saludos.
