Paco DeLucia was probably the greatest guitar player ever and Sabicas was one of his mentors who encouraged him to go beyond the classical Flamenco style.
I have heard hundreds, but to me this is the PUREST version of Malaguena I have ever heard. Everything about it....the smokey cafe, the women...everything is so perfect!
First thing i got to learn on a spanish. It being my first too. José Feliciano's black&white with the fancy but thurough 1-Hand segment first version to see done Live. Has to me too, been Infinitely Untouchable. Then this guy showed up.. *one of those schmuck-moments where you actually scratch your head and briefly doubt your sanity in full compliance.
In my opinion, one of the greatest flamenco guitarist's. With such spirit and passion exposed through the music, who can deny the true art this man provided.
In my lifetime I have heard all the great Flamenco artists including the famous Carlos Montoya, all the members of the Romaros family and all the current popular Flamenco guitarists. Sabicas will always be my favorite. In his lifetime there was none better. The smoothness of delivery and the technical ability was and will forever be the very best. He played with magnificently trained fingers and with his heart. His music and style has been copied by all the greats today.
@@dreia2405 Is Lil Wayne any good? Don't be asking stupid questions- we all Paco De Lucia is a noob and Lil Wayne, well he's a phenomenal virtuosic atrocity.
Malaguena's music will remain the sad voice coming from the depths of tortured hearts, then it will continue to scream in order to declare its wounds over the years that it will continue to receive the pain of wounds and forever....🌍
Mesmerising. If you didn't see it, you'd hardly believe it what you were hearing. Even seeing his playing is so fluid it's beyond belief. I don't like comparing individual players, but Sabicas' technique is something else entirely.
This is without a doubt the best malagueña. Technically. Musically. Such a graceful guitar player. Sad that these legends aren’t alive still but the clock never stops ticking.
@@ernestourra6253 Ernesto Lecuona se inspiro de “Souvenirs d' Andalousie” una composición de Louis Moreau Gottschalk. Hay que ver si este compositor estadounidense se basó en la música popular española como referencia.
complete mastery. all class. greatest flamenco guitarist to ever live. yet he gets overshadowed by many others (cough paco cough). many have incredible talent and technique but no one will ever come close to the grace sabicas exuded when he touched a guitar.
For those who don't know Paco followed Sabicas. Watch a documentary on Paco de Lucia and listen to what he has to say about his maestro Sabicas. Thanks to him, Paco branched out and formed a style of his own for a new generation, but not until later. Paco also discusses other great's who influenced him. Well worth watching a documentary on Paco. Nothing but respect for all those who came before him. Ground breakers since Paco,...hmmmm? Great players, but... innovators? We'll see... ?
Eso lo sabemos todos los que nos.gusta el flamenco. Y sino que vean la búsqueda de paco de lucía (francisco Sánchez gomez), por cierto, yo he tenido la suerte de haber bailado algunas piezas de ambos.... sabicas lo consideró su discípulo, y paco de lucía lo admiraba por igual, el maestro . pensaba que era el mejor de todos, pero mejorando lo presente el mejor paco de lucía.
This is the first time I've listened to Sabicas, and I am hearing where other players like Chet and Ben Woods got their ideas from. There's specific parts that were lifted from Sabicas.
I've never, seen such a display of right hand techniques done to over perfection, It's a great video, It really humbles to those striving to become Flamenco Guitarists, and provides insight and inspiration to pass on the Flamenco Tradition,
Filmed rarely for the spanish TV. Sabicas is the Jimi Hendrix and then some of the flamenco guitar. One could argue that Paco de Lucía was better at technique, but given the opposition that Sabicas was given (operating from the Bronx, New York) he was very captivating, to say the least. He filled up a Madison Square Garden. I could listen to his Malagueña 24 hours a day.
Juan Espinosa I disagree that P d L was better at technique. He looks like he’s straining to play when he plays fast and Sabicas looks totally effortless and plays a lot smoother. Just my opinion.
Sabicas es un fenomeno de la guitarra flamenca! il est au flamenco ce que Andres Segovia est a la guitare classique... deux geants de la guitare en somme! A.Fernandez
When I first heard Sabicas I was stunned into silence! I stopped playing my guitar for two years of just listening to Flamenco in general, trying to understand it. Pretty rad for a Led Zep fan!
True Flamenco by the great Master Sabicas. I love the story of him smashing his guitar onstage at Carnegie Hall when one of the male dancers came out stamping away during Sabicas' big solo. Anyone else have more details about that ? Such a legendary meltdown...from such a Maestro!
a true master never stops perfecting his craft . here i believe sabicas is around 60 years old . if you go see his other video " malaguena with 2 encores " he`s probably well into his 70`s and plays a much improved version of malaguena.
+Jonathan Larkin Even the greatest masters suffer from again, unfortunately. I haven't seen the other videos, but I'm just saying, I've seen many great violinists' and pianists' skills deteriorate.
The Malagina are the constant torments of the wounds since they occurred and will continue to resound in the world of music at the hands of flamenco players through time, and their tears will shed ceaselessly.🌍
Brian May: "Hold my beer" B.B. King: "Nah, hold mine" Jimmy Hendrix: "Hold my spliff" Eddie van Halen: "What?" Eric Clapton: "OK, let's have a session" Steve Vai: "I'm in" and so on.. There is no such thing as the best guitarist.
Sabicas fut le maitre de paco cela se ressent beaucoup.paco savait jouer du sabicas mais ce dernier ne savait pas jouer du paco.2 grands genies et l eleve a depasse le maitre💕💕
Its an "artificial harmonic", it is done by holding your index finger directly over the fret (barely touching the string) and using your thumb to pluck the string. Artificial harmonics are used to make harmonics other than the common 5th, 7th and 12th fret harmonics. Whatever note you are holding, simply pluck the fret 6 whole steps from the point of origin. Hope this helps!
Si camarón hubiese nacido en su época y hubiesen estado juntos el flamenco se contaría desde otro barco. Nadie puede cambiar ni el momento ni las circunstancias
Sabicas is my Favorite Flamenco Guitar Player and his version of Malaguena is the significant version of all-time! I play this Songs in various versions as well.
for those new to flamenco and used to think rock guitarists was the pinnacle..GO SEE PACO DE LUCIA next time in your area..he may not be around much longer,but if you pass it up,you will miss one of the great guitar performances you've ever seen...I've seen him twice in NYC and simply the best guitar performance,along w/cajon,horns,2cd guitar,singers and dancers,,total package
PA\RA QUEM NAO CONHECE ESTE E O FAMOSO SABICAS , GUITARRISTA ESPANHOL DE FAMA INTERNACIONAL QUE SE DEDICA A DIVULGAR AS MUSICAS FOLCLORICAS DE SEU PAIS, PRINCIPALMENTE O FLAMENCO'. ESCUTE ESTA MARAVILHA QUE SUA INTERPRETAÇÃO DE "MALAGUENA "
What I find interesting here is how soft and subtle some of Maestro Sabicas' techniques are. Totally different to the "rough" sound that you often here with flamenco guitar. I really enjoyed this video!
MALAGUEÑA ; es un fracmento de la Obra SUIT ANDALUZA del Gran Maestro cubano ERNESTO LECUONA , considerado el mejor musico cubano de todos los tiempos . VIVA ESPAÑA , VIVA ANDALUCIA , VIVA IBERIA . VIVA CUBA REUNIFICADA CON ESPAñA Y OLEEEE .
To gerundino98. You don't understand, Segovia was the only person in history that mastered the classical guitar. Sabicas was the finest flaminco player in all time. Sagovia did not like flaminco players, w/an ecception of Sabicas, they respected each other, & Sabicas changed his style to more classical.
Estoy de acuerdo y reconozco la maestría al tocar esta obra que fue escrita para piano y hacerlo genialmente a guitarra, solo lo comenté por no ver el Nombre Ernesto Lecuona en el video, este cubano dedicó obras muy bella para toda España y en especial para Andalucía. Saludos
Qué bella y nostálgica es la malagueña. Una gozada escuchar estos aires de mi tierra en tan prodigiosas manos. Gracias Juan por compartir, Saludos Carmen
