My grandpa borrowed and accordeon today and played La Paloma to my grandma at the hospital. It's their love song, you should see the way they were smiling to each other...
My Dad played this on his guitar, an Ibanez.......He did not make a will and when he died of a heart attack in 1970, all of his guitars were given away or sold by his truly miserable second wife who was more interested in money than anything else you can think of. Whoever got all of his guitars certainly has wonderful instruments and I know they are well cared for. PLEASE make a will if you have precious things to leave to somebody. PLEASE support music and all the arts in schools. The first grade is not too young. Happy 2023
As a slide guitarist I understand your feelings and I sincerely respect your values related to music. We must take great care of our musical instruments for they are the source of greatest joy in our life.
I must have listened to this 100 times. I can't figure out why this is so good. It sounds so simple, but it really is not. It is just so beautifully arranged and performed. Amazing. I wish one day I can play like this.
I think the same, could it be because it is an expression of love in all its simplicity: so kind, warm and gentle? It's not trying to impress or boast like many other artistic expressions common today. That could be enough, although I tend to go a step further as a Christian, and also claim that it is an expression of our deepest relationship with God, of His forgiveness and love, which we secretly long for in this forsaken world?
Listening to Pepe Romero play is a joy, but seeing him smile after he finishes, says one thing to me. He is joyful in himself, his kind nature shines out through him, and that is his gift to the audience. He smiles because his gift has been received with joy. Thank you for your gift Pepe!
He is an amazing gentle kind beautiful soul his daughter was my best friend growing up, I loved to go to their house, full of music and happiness & dancing and art it was my sanctuary. Thank you second Father!❤
@@thepauldinglightchannelmel7567 I would love to meet him one day. His approach to music and life are the same in my view. Thank you for your response. Best.
I would just like to take a moment to say how kindhearted and wonderful everyone in the comments section is. Thank you all for the kind words and reassurance that everything will be okay. I am on the autism spectrum, and often mask how I feel, so listening to music like this really helps me process these feelings, and oftentimes cry because of it. Like I’m free to be myself and not try to conform for others’ comfort. In a world with so many harsh sounds, something about music that is so gentle to the ear just makes me cry.
La Paloma is one of the most beautiful melodies ever! And Maestro Romero is my favorite Classical Guitarist of all-time. I also play this Song on my Guitar.
I never tire of hearing this magnificent piece and Senor Romero brings it as close to absolute perfection as I've ever heard. Sebastian Yradier must have been inspired by something mystical when he created this wonderful music. When properly played, every note touches the soul.
He’s one of the greats. Can you imagine following his fathers footsteps by playing classical guitar? In this song, he has such a soft touch, it’s amazing! I try to copy what he does but it’s beyond my skill to make La Paloma sound as great as it was written. Beautiful homage to his father. He would be proud.
Sir, this also is one of my favorite pieces,and you certainly make your father proud, for it sounds like an expression of love rather than a performance. Bravo Sir!
Pepe Romero! He came from a family of outstanding classical guitarists, starting with his magnificent father. What else is there to say, except "Bravo Maestro!!!".
La música, además de ser un bálsamo para el alma, nos demuestra que no tiene fronteras, que a todos nos une la belleza y nos emocionamos y conmovemos por ella. En estos tiempo en los que hay tanto "gritos" para separarnos a los que formamos parte de la comunidad hispana, en esta canción se muestra la realidad de nuestra cultura: la composición es de un vasco, Sebastián Iradier, que se inspiró en un viaje por Cuba, por lo que le dio ese ritmo de habanera; sin embargo, esta pieza alcanzó su éxito en México y, hoy es una de sus canciones más emblemáticas. Por último, el intérprete es Pepe Romero, un malagueño que pasea por el mundo su arte y nuestras músicas. La de la cultura hispanoamericana.🌹🌹
Beautiful piece. I first heard it when I was a child: my grandfather loved it. Exquisite interpretation: you let us enjoy every single note and delightful nuance. Bravo!!!
Splendida esecuzione, emozionante, complimenti. Era la canzone preferita di mia Madre ed è diventata un po' anche la mia perché ogni volta che ho bisogno di sentirla vicino,la ascolto. Grazie Maestro
My late father used to play on his guitar this so beautifully, sounded exactly the same x I wish you could have played together ... thank you for the beautiful memories x
Oblivion is where we came from and where we are all going eventually. We can only hope that wherever we end up there is real music like this or at least the essence of whatever it is that makes music effect us. There is a connection between music, the cosmos, and our soul, for lack of a better word. How else could 100 yr old songs make us feel what we feel, seems to me that music is something we have not yet seen it's true depth..
Pepe is an amazing man, he was like a father to me, i heard him play this in the living room at his home in Del Mar what a beautiful environment it was.
¡qué belleza!, hace gala del arte musical, de transmitir emoción, de tocar el corazón...Dios nos regaló el DON del oído, y el talento para ejecutar un instrumento musical de esta manera!. ¡felicidades!
The guitar is an addiction, stronger than most realize. Been hooked on it for nearly 50 years and still a mediocre player, but play I do, and that matters to me. Keep playing my friend. You and the world will be better for it.
What I noticed in Romero's presentation is that when he plays this, the subtle nuances of the music tell the " story" of La Paloma and the piece takes on a life of its own.
Gran concertista Pepe Romero.. hace muchos años tuve un profesor de guitarra flamenca y por esas cosas de la vida no aprendi mucho.. regreso a España y me dejó su guitarra flamenca.. Modesto Borreguero año 1944..una joya.. cuando emigré le dejé la guitarra a un sobrino que como muchos otros la querían tener..se la presto a su hermano mayor ..y bueno.se la robaron..me gusta mucho la guitarra y.el requinto..es maravilloso escuchar a un gran concertista como Don Pepe Romero..viva España..!!
Real emotion and sensitivity come out in this one. His technique is clean and delicate here which just happen to be perfect for this piece. Marvelous...
It's a mini masterclass about silentness and ... don't go to fast! Give every tune space to dance as your'e left (maybe right) hand. Seventy years of experience and still vulnerable in his way to represent the world's most complex instrument; the masters voice ... his guitar and talent to share! Chapeau!
From a master we can hear the trills, vibrato, dynamics, slides, 2, or 3 strings strummed simultaneously. Brilliant. The rhythm comes from Cuba or the Caribbean Islands. It is named "habanera". You hear this beat Bizet's Carmen. Bizet recognized its Caribbean roots, and internationalized the beat, a simple one. The composer, Sebastian Yradier. The lyric is dazzlingly serene and romantic. A lover’s plea, an ode. Musically it is deceptively simple, but contains evocative triplets which give the song its own lyrical signature, accentuated by many a romantic singer.
Sr. Romero's gift of this simple song displays amazing tonal variation so rich and colorful, one could eat it. Hope to play it for my 11yr old neighbor. One day. La Paloma, which the Basque Yradier or Iradier composed c.1860, is one of the most recorded tunes on the planet! (Courtesy Wikipedia) I'll listen 100 more times.
My grandpa borrowed and accordeon today and played La Paloma to my grandma at the hospital. It's their love song, you should see the way they were smiling to each other...

@@nilshubinette4932 La Paloma means the Dove, symbol of the Holy Spirit
A master musician playing a superior instrument to a piece that he truly loves… always a thing of unsurpassed beauty 😊
The lyrics of this musical creation reveal the deep & pure love to the place where we were born.
It is not a difficult piece. You should try mate. I'm sure you can do it.❤

La Paloma is one of the most beautiful melodies ever!
And Maestro Romero is my favorite Classical Guitarist of all-time.
I also play this Song on my Guitar.
Yep, fell in love witth this song years ago when I heard it played by Billy Vaughn!!
I never tire of hearing this magnificent piece and Senor Romero brings it as close to absolute perfection as I've ever heard. Sebastian Yradier must have been inspired by something mystical when he created this wonderful music. When properly played, every note touches the soul.
Yes! so well said. thank you for that.
Was inspired by a popular mediterranean sailor songs called "habaneras"
This is the most beautiful versions I have ever heard. You are truly one of the great masters
I am so honored to hear original music of this quality. BRAVO!

He chooses the right songs and plays them so deeply touching. Very great soul.
Pepe Romero! He came from a family of outstanding classical guitarists, starting with his magnificent father. What else is there to say, except "Bravo Maestro!!!".
I remember when I was still single. That time sang together with my friends. Thank you brother for your instrument by playing guitar.

This was one of my mother's favorite songs as it is also one of mine. Beautifully played and a testament to the beautiful culture it came from!
My Grandmother's favourite became mine. Love it. No other tune has ever surpassed this one and never will.
I love this version .. his playing is just beautiful
Perfecta interpretación del maestro Pepe Romero! Felicitaciones!

Bravo, I love the way you play this. Just spent a few weeks on it and have it down. Thx so much, a real joy.
So rich and so grand, just overwhelming gorgeous...my favorite piece.

Dios nada tiene que ver. Idiofa
Many times I've thought about quitting the guitar but after hearing this beautiful playing I'm inspired to keep going,
When we want to quit we are uninspired, but when we get inspired again, all we can think about is wanting to play and get better

Take a look at: Baden Powell - Manhã de Carnaval, to inspire as well

What a beautiful piece on guitar.. absolutely simple and amazing.
Thank you for playing this. A pretty piece of music done in a professional and caring manner.
Maravilha de interpretação grande Maestro .. Perfeito... Bravíssimo
Hermoso dominio de la guitarra. Muchas gracias Pepe Romero.
The simplicity and depth if this tune is from a different world
What I noticed in Romero's presentation is that when he plays this, the subtle nuances of the music tell the " story" of La Paloma and the piece takes on a life of its own.
Hermosísima, interpretación de la paloma ,por este guitarrista..... Mis respetos para este hombre.
I've spent my life learning this piece ( among several others ) and if I could achieve this beauty and grace , I'd die a old student.
Deliciosa interpretação, maestro Pepe Romero! Bravo! Bravíssimo!
Tears in my eyes a beautiful rendition
He is listening as he plays, every phrase, every note beautifully nuanced.
Played with such skill and compasion, one could not ask for anything more!!
Belllisima e inigualable . Stunning. Gracias MAESTRO. Beautifully performed, Radoslav Mestrovic, Winter Park, Fl, USA.
¡¡GRANDE PEPE!! UN AFECTUOSO SALUDO DESDE MADRID, MAESTRO.
Para mí, ésta es la más mejor interpretación de la canción que conozco.
So beatiful melody! I wish I could give it a hundred likes!
¡Lovely! Gracias Maestro.
I lost count on how many times i came back to this video
Excelsa y magistral interpretacion de esta joya musical 'La Paloma" By Mr. Romero....Big thank you
Marvelous music from Spain!!!
Cuanta sensibilidad!!! Una bella pieza de Tarrega, una ejecucion del tremolo singular, sonido perfecto!!
Pepe Romero, magnífico maestro. Gracias.
Hermosa interpretación. Gracias por publicar y poderme deleitar. Saludos maestro
Superb, excellent. Amazing talent.
La Paloma kenne ich schon lange; aber sooo habe ich das noch nie gehört. Fantastisch, bravo!
I met Pepe at Avery Fisher Hall in New York City in 1995. A virtuoso guitarist and a very gentle humble man.
Forget all you know. This is a living legend.

Bizet didn't recognized the Caribbean roots, it was the Spanish version he knows when Cuba was a province of Spain.
Habanera is not from Cuba, is from spanish mediterranean sailors but certainly inspired by Cuba.
Es una de las melodias mas hermosas que uno no se cansa de escuchar.
Bravo Maestro. en su versión deviene sinónimo de oración. muchas gracias.
Τhanks for uploading and our Best Regards from Athens,Greece!
