A great introduction to the music of
Paco De Lucia – and a set that features some of his most sublime solo recordings from the early years! The music here mostly features
Paco's acoustic guitar alongside a secondary player on the instrument – either Ramon
De Algeciras, Ricardo Modrego, or Larry Coryell – but almost always with
De Lucia very strongly in the lead, stepping deftly over rhythms from the other player, with a sense of musical vision that's simply breathtaking!
Paco's a player who helped move flamenco guitar way way past any hokey cliches you might expect – and the music here is deeply personal and profoundly moving – a real testament to his unique genius. Titles include "Entre Dos Aguas", "Zorongo Gitano", "Castro Marin", "Guairas
De Lucia", "El Vito", "Chanela", and "En La Caleta".
