Guitar Review calls Paco de Lucia "possibly the most advanced guitarist in any idiom." From his widely acclaimed world tours and movie soundtracks, he has become a living legend of the flamenco guitar & one of Spain's ranking musical ambassadors to the world. Heavyweights like Wynton Marsalis, John McLaughlin, & Chick Corea are some of his famous collaborators. His concerts are renowned for their awesome displays of musical virtuosity, raw vocalizing, and whirlwind dance. Paco de Lucia takes you on an adventure—from light to shade, from fury to reflection; its flamenco that speaks to the soul.
There was so much talent and magic in that stage!! Truly sublime! What is inexplicable is that the show had no printed program, and that they only verbally announced Mr. Ruben Blades when he came out but they didn’t announce the rest of the true flamenco stars.
This was a truly impressive performance. The musicians, vocalists and dancer were incredible. We were thoroughly entertained and gained a new appreciation for this genre.
fabulous guitarist, high energy, extremely talented, terrific flamenco dancer as part of the show. I would go once a week if possible, a cultural treat from Spain.
If you like Flamenco, this show is a must see. Love it!
Paco and his group played nonstop for 2 hours and had me on the edge of my seat the entire program (partly so I could see around the person in front of me). I had binoculars so was able to appreciate the expressions on the faces of the amazing, passionate singers and the fabulous dancer. The harmonica player was great too. The audio was fine, even in the upper balcony. The seats were packed in and leg room was limited but otherwise the seating was comfortable. Latecomers were annoying as usual but the audience was respectful and appreciative. Standing ovation lasted 5 minutes at least in order to plead for an encore. Parking was tight but we were able to get a place for the premium $10 two blocks away in a private lot. This was a sellout with 3000 people, more people packed together than on a cruise liner. Bathroom lines were long at the end of the performance and drinks a bit pricey for beer, wine and champagne (and $3.00 water); no food or beverages allowed from outside. The theatre itself is gorgeous and worth a look. Overall fabulous evening and worth the money.
Musically, this was fantastic, but it would have been more enjoyable had they not double sold my seats at the venue such that we missed the first song. Paco De Lucia is an incredible musician.
It was a must watch show. Really enjoyed it. Paco worked his magic on the audience as usual. The dancer was a nice surprise. Very well executed performance. However, the organization in the theater was below expectations. Just before the start of the show, there were long lines in the aisle entrances and everybody was getting in from behind without respecting the line priority. That there was nobody to enforce order, did not help as well. It was quite chaotic. Hopefully, the organizers will work out a better solution to make it an enjoyable experience in the future. Having said that, once Paco started playing, I forgot everything.....:)
From the moment when he started a solo till the end of the concert with all the musicians and chorus, it was an amazing experience. The repertory was very well selected and Paco still plays as the Master he is. You should be proud of bringing this type of artists in such a nice place to perform, not only for money but for enriching culturally, our society.
It was totally AWESOME!!! Paco is the greatest guitarist in the World. His band was also amazing. It was worth the wait and if he ever comes back I will be there.
I feel so lucky to have watched the legendary Paco de Lucia in concert! I dont know if and when it will happen next. I was so moved...the duende had truly descended upon me! ;)
