Paco de Lucia - Lagartijo

03.07.2012

Live at Miles Davis Hall

 

Musical genius, Paco de Lucia transformed the Flamenco guitar from a marginal instrument into a worldwide phenomenon. Simply by introducing the cajun drum, the bass and percussion, he ays the foundation of the current Flamenco idiom. I have never lost the roots in my music, de Lucia said during a late-'90s interview, because I would lose myself. What I have tried to do is have a hand holding onto tradition and the other scratching, digging in other places, trying to find new things I can bring into flamenco. (FFJM © 2012)
