To me the most striking thing about this incredible video is that Paco actually seems not too happy with his playing. What could he possibly have done better? Every single note is alive and breathing, full of emotion. This is pure poetry with a deeply moving story. And he tells that story like a person who knows life and all its joy, passion and suffering. The sound he gets out of his guitar, the mannerisms and inflections are very unique, as if Paco himself was talking through it. It is so naturally expressive, yet not overly sentimental. Just perfect.
Grisha Goryachev very likely because this is a Taranta, which is a flamenco palo that comes from the the mines of Murcia, Spain... albeit to accompany the miners when they sang. It is therefore not a happy music... so in order to express such emotion of guys who worked in dark mines all day, hidden away from the sun, I believe Paco and anyone who plays has to put themselves in the mindset of those who originally played this music.
He did grow up around a harsh critic, his father, he practiced for up to 12 hours a day when he was 7-12, who knows what went on in his mind, and then again, he plays this with such ease because he already played a taranta similar to this 10 years before this clip, so his mind could be wandering around, maybe playing to him was exactly like speaking to us, he did say he learned the guitar like a child learns to speak. He reached the peak of traditional flamenco in his 20s, maybe he was getting bored of it? Maybe what was on his mind was the atmosphere in Spain and how it was too conservative for him and he couldn't wait to start experimenting with expressing himself a lot more, nobody really knows, I'd say this is close to his peak in technical ability, but when it comes to expression, Luzia and Cositas Buenas are some of the most original sounding albums I've ever heard. Brilliant man, I gave only a few ideas because who knows what was really going through his head when he didn't look too happy with his playing, and I'm scared to even think about all the possibilities.
Poodle ͡ ͜ ͡ couldn’t agree more re what’s going on his mind... but that sounds more like what was going on in his mind at that time of his life. Luzía is considered by him to be his best work, as it was the last album that was heart felt and was made in the name of his mother and after his musical journey to study with the Jazz folks, his sextet and everything else that was explorative in his efforts to enrich flamenco... so in making Luzía he came back to the flamenco Palos and made music that incorporated all that he had learned in his journey. One of the innovations was playing Seguirillas in F#m, the only key in flamenco that is played in three different ways... and the key that Camaron de la Isla loved and sang in the most... arguably the most important key for flamenco singers... Paco made Seguirillas piece, Luzía, in that key... and Seguirillas is arguably the first/oldest flamenco palo... this had never been done before Paco did it... and hasn’t been done since. Cositas Buenas he made because he was contractually forced to do so, although it still has excellent music Paco didn’t favor that album.
@@ThatPoyglot it's a shame they forced him to do cositas buenas and I can see why he wouldn't like it, but Antonia is still a monster of a piece, I've never heard such an expressive and original buleria por solea until Paco came out with it, and yes Luzia (the seguiriyas) is one of the most amazing seguiriyas to exist
The first 20 seconds are so fucking brutal. Thick chords with natural reverb, played by a hand that is perfectly at ease while still dominating the strings. Gotta love it.
¡Qué gran maestro! Más allá de la técnica, más acá del virtuosismo, moraba en él un genio singular. El del portentoso compositor que fue. Y cuya música sobrevivirá en otras manos mientras haya quienes la sientan suya y la recreen, como el agua tras su largo fluir hacia la lluvia.
+pedro a. cantero . Cierto, y yo, que no sé nada respecto a la guitarra y al Flamenco, me quedo con la boca abierta, hipnotizado y hasta me salen lágrimas de felicidad...
apenas cumpliré 19 años y reconozco, puedo decir con certeza que el flamenco en guitarra es musica verdadera, que es belleza en verdad el flamenco es lo más bello, hay géneros sí, pero a mi criterio jamás podrá ser sobrepasado por la musica moderna de otro tipo, es algo que jamás perecerá pues retumba el eco y retumbará... apenas conocí a Paco de lucia, escucho muchas composiciones de él, tantas una y otra vez, cada vez que escucho algo nuevo (para mi) de él me quedo maravillado, inmediatamente lleno mi celular de su musica y me es tan increíble, tan grandioso, es mi ídolo es un grande. Me hubiese gustado tanto poder haberlo escuchado en vivo...
No matter how much we talk about Paco de Lucia, we cannot shed light on the great art that he created in the world of flamenco. My personal opinion is that I consider that Paco de Lucia is a very big revolution in the transition of flamenco music from local stillness to global movement. It is the true and original symbol of all flamenco heritage since its foundation ....Farewell to the music after that🌍
Again, absolutely incredible playing from Paco - The speed with which he plays is obviously thrilling and amazing but it's his subtleties that make him stand out head and shoulders above the rest. Just listen to how perfectly he takes the aggression out of the insanely fast run between 30 and 37 seconds and leads us into a new soundworld.
Madre mia….. se me encoge el estomago solo de oírle, no se puede explicar lo que este hombre hacia,,, solo se puede cerrar los ojos y disfrutar de lo que nos dejo
The greatest musicians have a rare ability to stretch an instrument to its fullest capabilities. It's amazing to see people like this, Jimmy Smith, Miles Davis show us what can be done with an instrument. We will never be able to play like this, but it's fun to try and fun to watch.
when i was 17 years old , i told my brother to buy guitar from spain cuz he visited it. i told him buy flamenco guitar and i did not know flamnci is an art and he bought it from Madred i started to play but i did not know how to play the guitar was broken by my famely someone stepped on it. now i am 22 years old and bought new guitar and i started to play flamenco and i know how to play lol !! greatings from Oman. middel east.
madre mía q sentimiento y ternura me provoca cada vez que está música me envuelve y entra en mi cabeza, es fascinante poder disfrutar señores de magistral guitarra , este hombre no podía tener más sentimientos internos, ole usted paco!!! orgulloso de tu música y tu legado, oleee esa capacidad e ingenio
Such a masterpiece of a master extraordinaire! 3:27 the look of paco...the one time he actually looked. You can see how immersed he is in the music. Or some might say, the determination in his look! Such an unique person he was
2:28 si lo ponéis a cámara lenta se puede ver a Paco mirando su uña del dedo índice derecho para ver si se le ha roto y sigue tocando sin que se note. Es alucinante que haya visto este video decenas de veces y nunca me había dado cuenta de ese detalle hasta ahora mismo. Increíble
Decir que fue un genio, es quedarnos cortos. Dominaba la guitarra de tal manera que convertía la brutalidad en una absoluta maravilla espectacular. Y tenía un poder especial y sobrenatural para sobrecoger al oyente y sorprenderle. Buenos guitarristas clásicos tocan "Fuente y caudal", como Eliot Fisk, Joaquin Clech, David Martínez, Eduardo Baranzano, pero siempre prefiero oírsela a Paco, porque es incomparable.
The guitarist composer who was the God of Spanish and Flamenco guitarist and mastercomposer all wrapped into the perfect package and we may never see or hear the likes of him again
Each music phrase of Paco says allways the truth... and his superb technic speak that truth so clearly and full of elloquence. His art will speak centurys.
Sincerest thanks to HolyEggRollys for posting this and the other clips from this occasion. El Maestro seems to excel even his usual self -- which would not seem to be possible, but here it is. Long live the king, and thanks again.
As the piece opens- like the sky darkens with clouds to release a perfectly coordinated storm of thunder and lightning, maybe the way god observes it from above. At 00:59 rays of sunshine pierce through the darkness for moments of sweetness to sooth the embattled. Paco is an angel -more than technique, to play like this you need to be special and must have a special soul. The world is smaller without you, may your name be glorified!
Ojos mudos vagan por los pasillos de la noche espantosa Las bocas escupen brasas sobre todo ser vivo Y el pájaro de los genios observa ese evento con un ojo lleno de venganza Tú que duermes bajo la tierra Aquí te canto la melodía de la vida ¿Te levantarás de nuevo entre los escombros del sueño eterno? Tú, la Ilustración encadenada en las canastas del pasado desolador ¡¿Cuándo entenderás que el cielo no riega sólo a los justos? Tocad, oh vientos, una melodía que despierte los oídos de los locos Para volver al despertar de la razón pura Paco falleció dejando una guitarra en la última habitación del olvido Todas las caras se habrán ido Como las olas de la orilla borran las huellas de los amantes.......
I can give everything to learn this art but the thing is i don't have anything to offer other than hard work, passion, dedication etc. Sigh...! somebody gift me a flamenco! :(

It's the bad golpe at 2:24. And then a little mix-up at 3:55. He's bothered by that from that moment till the end.
The first 20 seconds are so fucking brutal. Thick chords with natural reverb, played by a hand that is perfectly at ease while still dominating the strings. Gotta love it.
Paco at the top of his game. Guitar playing doesn't get much better than this.
Mybe someone 1000 years after will born and be better/ i dont know
@@geo_blogger6439 I don't think so :)
@@satchsatch33 10 000 years mybe
well there always be someone better because they can learn from someone who was the best and add their work = new best
there are no boundaries for perfection.
Your looking at 1 of the greatest pieces of music ever played on any intrument ever!!!
que verdad.. ufff.. magico
When God played guitar.....insanely brilliant...

I want to play like him
@@picao4399 don't we all
0:42 omg the way he plays it is magical! we miss you so much paco!
El nombre comercial de esta taranta es "Fuente y caudal", trémolo inolvidable, maestro de las variaciones y de la combinación de notas.
when i was 17 years old , i told my brother to buy guitar from spain cuz he visited it. i told him buy flamenco guitar and i did not know flamnci is an art and he bought it from Madred i started to play but i did not know how to play the guitar was broken by my famely someone stepped on it. now i am 22 years old and bought new guitar and i started to play flamenco and i know how to play lol !!
greatings from Oman. middel east.
El mejor guitarita del mundo descansa en paz paco
Finally I find this legendary Tarantas from Paco here on TH-cam ...
Thank you very much for this rare recording !
Como si tuviera 10 dedos, pero en cada mano... Y pasión que desborda. Hermosísimo.
madre mía q sentimiento y ternura me provoca cada vez que está música me envuelve y entra en mi cabeza, es fascinante poder disfrutar señores de magistral guitarra , este hombre no podía tener más sentimientos internos, ole usted paco!!! orgulloso de tu música y tu legado, oleee esa capacidad e ingenio
Such a masterpiece of a master extraordinaire!
3:27 the look of paco...the one time he actually looked. You can see how immersed he is in the music. Or some might say, the determination in his look! Such an unique person he was
I need to get back in the womb and start practicing from the moment of my first breath! Lord. To play like this...
2:28 si lo ponéis a cámara lenta se puede ver a Paco mirando su uña del dedo índice derecho para ver si se le ha roto y sigue tocando sin que se note. Es alucinante que haya visto este video decenas de veces y nunca me había dado cuenta de ese detalle hasta ahora mismo. Increíble
Pues yo me he dado cuenta a la primera. Y sí, es que el dominio técnico de este hombre no encuentra parangón.
God Bless his soul... Paco we all love you..
I have No clue why i feel like crying when i hear this tarantas..
Es tremendo el nivel de este Maestro de la guitarra!
Every time i play guitar and think "wow this sounded pretty nice", i come to this video to be forcefully brought back to sanity
Don't be brought back to sanity, be inspired and go insane, you never know how far you can go.
You don't have to be a virtuoso to make enjoyable and interesting music
his dad made him practice up to 12 hours a day , his playing is the result of hard work , it may seem so easy to play this free ... a guitar giant
The best of the best ...
Muchas gracias
Sono stato fortunato a vivere nella tua epoca, e ad apprezzare il tuo talento. Grazie Paco, per le emozioni che trasmetti a tutt'oggi
No dejó nota por tocar.Lo más grande que ví yo con una guitarra entre las manos !!!
Surely Paco at the very Highest of the Heights of his Masterly playing.!?!
Arte y Pasión. Inigualable Paco de Lucia, genio de la guitarra. La música te va a echar mucho de menos.

damn this perfect on so many levels.
insuperable
Grande maestro gracias por tu música
Min 2:28 ... es tan perfecto que se mira la uña del pulgar por un rasgueo q no le salió bien
No me había fijado! Es verdad, que maestro 😄
Paco de Lúcia was from another world
Beautiful guitar music!
Espectacularmente Impresionante.....El Mejor
I think he saved my soul
Soul, plus machine gun, equals Paco ! Superb ! R.I.P. Maestro
Each music phrase of Paco says allways the truth... and his superb technic speak that truth so clearly and full of elloquence. His art will speak centurys.
Deja un legado extraordinario al mundo de la música.
Es una delicia acústica, una maravilla de composición, y una obra de arte, sinceramente hace que mi alma se retuerza y tenga diferentes sentimientos.
te echamos de menos maestro :(
Minha inspiração! Paco, te Amo ❤
Lo admiro tanto que me ha portado mucho junto con mi Padre y el niño Ricardo
Царство небесное, великому гитаристу виртуозу ,которому нет равных, он один такой в мире! Браво гениальному музыканту!!!!!!
Incredible
Sin empezar a ver el vídeo le doy me gusta porque se trata de Paco de Lucía.
Dios de la guitarra. Por siempre
Doy gracias a los dioses y demonios que forjaron este mundo por dejarme escuchar este genio inexplicable.
Inalcanzable, inigualable, eternamente Paco
1:29 OMG!
3:16 this is just unreal
Un guitarrista de altura, exelso, fino, versátil ejemplar.
Sincerest thanks to HolyEggRollys for posting this and the other clips from this occasion. El Maestro seems to excel even his usual self -- which would not seem to be possible, but here it is. Long live the king, and thanks again.
Genio de geniossss
Best ever
Maravilla de la información
Qué hermosura, qué gran maestro era paco
I don´t understand this, my mind is exploding.
Abel Puerta 😂You took the words out of my mouth.
Crack, idolo, Dios!
Ese tremolo es clara inspiración de Vicente para “Callejón de la Luna”

Ojos mudos vagan por los pasillos de la noche espantosa
Las bocas escupen brasas sobre todo ser vivo
Y el pájaro de los genios observa ese evento con un ojo lleno de venganza
Tú que duermes bajo la tierra
Aquí te canto la melodía de la vida
¿Te levantarás de nuevo entre los escombros del sueño eterno?
Tú, la Ilustración encadenada en las canastas del pasado desolador
¡¿Cuándo entenderás que el cielo no riega sólo a los justos?
Tocad, oh vientos, una melodía que despierte los oídos de los locos
Para volver al despertar de la razón pura
Paco falleció dejando una guitarra en la última habitación del olvido
Todas las caras se habrán ido
Como las olas de la orilla borran las huellas de los amantes.......
I can give everything to learn this art but the thing is i don't have anything to offer other than hard work, passion, dedication etc. Sigh...! somebody gift me a flamenco! :(
Fuente y Cadual the greaaaaat!!!
The Best
Fenómeno mundial!!!!!!🤔🧐🥳🙏💯✨💢💯💅
Paco de Lucia Genio de la Guitarra
Genio
paco was the best
Taranta de mi tierra , mejor tocada imposible
Those picados are seriously massive.
4:45 the dude in grey suit lands aggressively back to earth with damaged brain cells xD
Lol! I was thinking something similar.
Paco resonated on a different frequency. Far beyond that of us mere mortals.
Definitely causing brain damage to those who tried to tune into it :)
2:27 the only relatable moment I have with Paco de Lucia when he checks his nail
la mejooor taranta del mundooooooooooo
Uff esos dedos a velocidad de vértigo maestro y principe de las artes un mozart de la gitarra
Para mi el Santo de los guitarristas flamencos
...pure blues from other side...
he kinda looks like anakin skywalker
oleeee
En er Carrefú, solo aplauden las ofertas.
Grande Paco de Lucía.
if you don t watch the video and you close your eyes you could easily say there are 2 or 3 guitars playing at the same time hhh
la gente ni aplaude unos pajussss viva paco ole
... and at the end nobody applauded. Criminal.
03:53 mode turbo on
Doy gracias por poder escuchar a este genio de la guitarra, una pena no poderlo ver en directo
ur miracle in flamenco
El mejor de todos, con mucha diferencia, es Paco de Lucía
