Pepe Romero es un malagueño, hijo de un genio de la guitarra Celedonio Romero y hermano de dos virtuosos Celín y Angel. Toda una familia de magnificos interpetres de la guitarra española.
I met him, his father and his brother at a concert in st louis in the late 80s, the three of them played as a trio. You talk about the most beautiful guitar sound imaginable in a concert hall with all that ambiant natural reverb....amazing. I worked as an usher so I got to meet them after their performance,and enjoy some wine and cheese. Was great night.
I was fortunate, as a young person in high school, to go to a concert by the entire Romero Family - Celedonio Romero, the father, and the three sons, Celin, Angel, and Pepe. To say they blew me away was an understatement. I have always been a fan of guitar, and that concert, even today when I'm over 70, is still a razor sharp memory and literal highlight of my entire life.
I also met the family when they gave a concert at the university that I was attending. I had a chance at the end of the concert to have a chat with Pepe, and got a few pointers from him as a beginning guitarist. And now I'm 80. Where did the time go? I still play the guitar, but not as well as when I was younger.
It's amazing that he first recorded it in 1960 when he was only 15 year old - you can hear it on the Flamenco Fenomemo cd. He just keeps getting better and better.
Leo Kottke, the amazing 12 string guitarist, rebuilds all his 12 and 6 string guitars. He had two stolen jyst before a concert in London. Two guitarists heard about that and lent him theirs. Romero is an amazing artist.

Malaguena is iconic and is a Flamenco rhythm as much as a composition. The famous version by Los Romeros as a quartet is also iconic, and a crowd pleasing standard. After playing this piece for so many years, it is refreshing to hear Pepe's father's composition in a variation for fans that have heard the same piece before. Spanish music is meant to contemporary to the moment. The audience on Bogota had heard the original version, and were open to a new version. Bravo!
Actually it was written by a cuban composer Ernesto Lecuona initially and was for piano with spanish lyrics. The name of the song itself 'Malagueña' is taken directly from a flamenco music and dance style of the same name. So, Cuban composer with spanish influence. Sorry no mexico bud.
BRAVO !!! BRAVO !!! ENDLESS BRAVO Dear Pepe Romero !!! I LOVE GUITAR ENDLESS !!! VERY, HEART GREETINGS FROM Sofia - Bulgaria - Europe !!! With LOVE Nadya Mirkova from Sofia
Нет слов, просто самое великолепное исполнение и необыкновенная музыка. И сам Пепе Ромеро такой замечательный человек! Спасибо за доставленное удовольствие!

O senhor,é um encantador de Almas,(invade nossa essência e ternura);com seu talento e seus dedos Mágicos!Parabéns!Que Deus o abençoe!E quando,puder aparece aqui no Brasil,para honrarmo-nos com beleza,virtude e talento! Muitas Gracias por tudo e Buenas noches!Tchau!
This guy has potential. Very "crisp" (articulate). A real joy to listen to. Actually this is probably the best rendition I have ever heard of this piece.
By that logic you will never do anything, since there will always be someone who dedicates an extreme amount of time to becoming a master at anything you could choose to do. Better off doing it anyway and getting some enjoyment out of it. You could even become a master yourself, but not if you don’t try.
I used to play guitar when I was a kid but I have abnormally small hands and I don’t have any fingernails since I bite them. I was just stuck at a beginner/intermediate level. I quit, and I wish I didn’t. I don’t think I could ever be a master guitarist which is fine. But I just listen to this as music now, whereas I wish I could listen to it with a little more technical knowledge.
Different people have different criteria for judging things. For example, maybe they liked the playing but didn’t like the poor audio quality, or thought the playing was skillful but didn’t like the song. Also, 99.98% upvotes is an extremely good ratio.

Gracias por compartir estos videos, yo estuve allí, fue la primera vez que vi a Pepe Romero en vivo, fue brutal (poco despúes pasó con los Romero en Cali donde también estuve) ^.^
Since the 70's he's been the best Classical player I've heard..whenever he plays I believe every note he plays..nothing sounds contrived or imitated and you don't need a cathedral background or visual effect to enhance his performance. (He and Segovia are the only recordings I enjoy as two very expressive and convincing players..although I'd put Bream in that category as well.Great footage.

have you ever done something that is really hard and mastered it so well that nobody could do it better than you? it felt good right? thats the emotion he has when he is playing this. guys like hendrix and page say the first to things that come to mind, and guys like this carefully plan out what to say. its like beer vs. fine scotch, they both do the exact same job but with different methods of delivery. to say one is emotionless is to say that fine scotch wont get you drunk. believe me, it does
It’s the technical ability that blows me away. He doesn’t miss a note. Each fingerpick is precise. Each strum is flawless.
sounds easy to do but actually id HARD to perform
It's great but right around 2:08 I hear I slightly flubbed note

was one of the few supreme guitar heroes ever lived on this planet!
This is a showcase of true agreement between mind , ears and body. Breathtaking.

If you can’t play this good, sit back, listen and enjoy a legend playing.

Ole Pepe, esta es la mejor interpretación de la malagueña que e escuchado en mi vida que fenómeno eres. Un fuerte abrazo
I first heard this from Roy Clark. Now I have heard it in the original form. Outstanding performance!
I remember seeing him, his brothers and father playing together in Oregon back in the mid 70s...amazing then; wonderful now!

What a brilliant musician Pepe is.
Amazing sounds & so,so good.
I like to imagine in the middle of this he just bursts into stairway to heaven and then carries on as normal.
He was born a true master - then spent sixty years polishing his tecnique.
