    "I feel like I'm at the beach, with that happening in the background..." This crude simpleton in the presence of the Maestro!

    He is just so effortless and fluent. He plays beautifully. That's the name of the game.

    He's still one of the best guitar players in history as an old man.

    Virtuoso Paco Pena is always so polite and modest, even when having to put up with an ill-mannered and clueless presenter, and no sound check.

    •  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Idk why you guys asking for sound checking really... thats the way flamenco guitars sound in. No equalization. Like 70% of youtube videos use microphone equalizations, that is a fake sonority created for productions and studio results over time... not so trust-able for guitar

    • @SeverinLudwig
      @SeverinLudwig 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @ thats the worst recording of paco Ive ever heard. Do you have a guitar at home? If so, take her in your hands and play it. Does it sound like this video? Im not into recording at all but occasionally Im playing and doing simple "voice record" with my old iphone 4s. And I literally mean voice record app with internal iphone 4s 5$ mic, no editing or EQ at all. It does sound at least 10x better than this crappy recording. Prove it to yourself by simple voice recording any guitar playing with your smartphone and listening to it.

    Same old polite, discreet flamenco guitar master Paco Peña I have known since 1987!!
    Posesses an inherent quality of sound perhaps unusual to the flamenco guitar...good old friend....thankfully he did not play with his other cannon of a guitar, namely his famous Jerundino...
    Wish you the best, maestro!!

  • @marcosucci7550
    @marcosucci7550 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    The piece is "punta y tacon" from the great sabicas

  • @jaredngawaka3466

    Always loved not only his playing but also his expressive command of the English language which is a rarity in the prominent flamenco world.

    • @ventace
      @ventace 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That is because he moved to London at the end of the 1960's I think.

      Yeah...the reporter has no idea and was kind of condescending and smug about the whole thing.

      Though Sabicas; this farruca is based on Sabicas’ “Punta y Tacón”.

  • @fib3roptik
    @fib3roptik 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    thank you Flamencoblues I was affraid that nobody will mention that this music is a reinterpretation of punta y tacon de Sabicas

  • @reyrogers2806
    @reyrogers2806 10 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    Paco starts to play...and blows all needles off the scale. Sound technician frantically tries to adjust treble..fails. Paco plays rasgueado. Bass of the scale.... Sound technician tries frantically to adjust... fails. A simple sound check could have avoided his priceless guitar sounding like a piece of cardboard.
    They never had live music like this in this studio, and after this disaster..they probably never will again. Great to see you still around live and well Maestro...From an old student 1986-1987.

    Paco is superlative as always. He communicates Andalucía through his guitar which I notice is a new Gerundino but sounding good.

    Sow him just twice at the saddlers well theater Angel London in early 70s if i remember right in1972 it was more than just guitar playing but a whole history of flamenco from when people where working with Iron beating it to shape till guitars n dancers joined in what was so amazing was he filled the whole theater with beautiful music without any amplification i was aware of he really is a master of his craft

  • @Flamencoblues
    @Flamencoblues 11 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Maybe it deserves mention that Paco essentially played a somewhat abbreviated version of Punta y Tacon by the great Sabicas (1912 -1990).

    • @annndevries
      @annndevries 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      YES! Thank you that is it. I recognized the melody , it reminded me strongly of Sabicas.

    Don't think we have to be too critical about the reporter who can't be expected to know much about flamenco. What pisses me off is how these Americans seem incapable of pronouncing a Spanish name correctly. It's Paco, not Parko.
