There are many brilliant virtuosos of the flamenco guitar, but among the contemporaries, Paco Peña is the only authentic flamenco I have heard. This must have something to do with the authenticity of his soul and a certain humility in the service of a tradition that he knows is greater than himself.
Agreed! I saw him playing live a few years ago and he's a very nice, humble person, in spite of being the greatest guitar virtuoso I've seen or heard in my life. He played through the flamenco "palos" with such virtuosity, style, elegance and ease that at the end of the long solo recital the rather snobbish, classical guitar minded audience just sat there in their seats, unable to move or utter a word for a long time. Obviously, they ( and we all) felt quite inadequate for the guitar compared to the great master whose amazing playing had rendered them (and all of us) speechless.
Esto sí que es flamenco auténtico y no esos otros flamencos impostores que hay desde hace muchos años. No me gustaba el flamenco (El impostor) hasta que hé oido a este virtuoso de la guitarra flamenca Paco peña.Gracias paco.
Las cualidades de Paco Peña son muchas, algunas de ellas son: técnica depurada, mucha expresión, compás y matices adecuados, su trémolo flamenco es uno de los mejores. Congratulaciones para este gran maestro.
when stationed in Spain...no place in the world like it....romantic, gorgeous women, culture and flamenco bars....(southern Spain, Andalucia) best time of my life.....I go back to Spain when I can....just to get in a taste...a tapa..lol...love it !
I Nothing is a gift. This is very hard work. He was born into the culture so yes, he had a head start, but it's thousands of hours study. In this world there are many who don't get success handed to them on a plate they have to work for it, and Paco has earned his place.
Not quite true: talent is very much a gift. Yes, Paco studied for many hours, but because he already started with an incredible talent his hours of study are so much more productive compared to somebody with considerably less talent.
Yes it is a gift !! I am from Spain , and we know is a gift , one need that to start , is like a cheff , he can learn to cook in the best schools ,but if he don't have that special gift or touch ,is like no grace in his art !!! Some of you Americans think that all is technical ,and is not !!! GOD is the giver of all graces...!!!!!
@@rociojurado9015 It has nothing to do with ethnicity or anything of the sort, it's only hard work and love for the instrument. Love in combination with dedication and hard work can overcome anything and history has proven this statement infinite times. I kindly suggest you swallow your groundless ego or insecurity and face the sheer truth.
@takeitindballs Not true, on both counts, this is from early in his career and yes, he's playing Sabicas etc. Later he composed a lot, he's one of the few who has composed solo guitar for tientos for example, or his petenera, he's both interpreter and composer. And as for being out of compás, you're just talking shite.
@takeitindballs He plays a half compás, nothing out of compás about that ! That's pretty normal and basic stuff, especially in the older style of playing. Anyway, no worries, man.
Ahí queda para la historia de la música. Un ejemplo de lo que se puede conseguir cuando se hace lo que se ama y se tienen corazón y ganas. Ole las cosas bien hechas! 💪
While the late great Paco de Lucia looked up to the sky while he played his magic on the guitar, Paco Peña looks down at his guitar while he embraces it because his Flamenco soul lies there. .. simply fantastic.
@@palpalonpalpalon young paco de lucia was playing traditional flamenco. Then he changed his style and approached to jazz .(after interviewing with Sabicas in the Usa.)

Escucharte es sempre un placer Maestro.Que sonido! Que arte ,que esprecion...me has recordado El tempo del curso en Cordoda ...Gracias por tu consejos por la posocion de la mano derecha...que los maestros de conservatorio en Italia no me han dicho en anos y anos de ensenanza..Un saludo Paco y..gracias. Giorgio T.
One of the greatest guitarists you're ever likely to see, with amazing fingering and technique. So what I really want to see is camera shots circling him from behind, out-of-focus shots of his hands and extreme close-ups of his face. Great job, cameramen, great job! Clap... Clap... Clap... (Just in case you can't tell, I'm being sarcastic.)
I get what you're saying, but the camera work in this video makes it for me. It's so dramatic. Makes me feel like I am watching a boxer or a bullfighter in the ring facing the fight of his life. It moves so fast, but Paco makes it feel like it's in slow motion.
Please realise you are watching and listening to a a living genious! ... P. Pena, was, is, the BEST traditional - pure - flamenco player I ever heard. His Soleares is out-of-this-world. Pure genious. Intense, talented,... Pena's & Lucia's... Well, they come around ones in a few hundred years. The Bach 'n Mozart's of acoustic guitar.
I remember meeting Paco at a party in Earls Court, London in the sixtees and he was then experimenting picking tremolo using all four fingers. Even in those days we realized he was a bit special but never guessed that he'd become world famous. He was making a living by playing flamenco in a Spanish restaurant in London. The folk singer John Pearce was also at the party at Louis's apartment. Alas none of the talent rubbed off on me, much as I practiced! Isn't his playing just great?
Muy buen video, es el germen de lo que al final se acabaría convirtiendo en la solea "santuario" pieza de culto por todos los iniciados al toque. Voy a sacarle el audio para llevarla siempre conmigo, gracias por el aporte compadre,
Does anyone agree with me that it is just a gift and a pleasure to be able to watch and listen to this?
Yes
Giambattista Vico yes it is!! I've seen him live, it was incredible!!
SOUND ORGASEM
Totally!
awesome way to end the day. this and arsenal fan tv
That was a magnificent piece of solea. I've taken two years before finding this one. The only thing that he did not do, which I can do much better when playing flamenco guitar, is make mistakes.
We have many flamenco fan in iran, spanish music is beautifull and has middle east roots
I just spent a week in Sevilla soaking up the flamenco. I love it like you because it has the persian mixed with european,love it!
Este artista debería tener desde hace mucho tiempo una calle con su nombre en nuestra ciudad de Córdoba.
Ésta solea es un tesoro
Bravo Paco Peña
Being named Paco in flamenco means you're excellent
😂
@@EspadasYCopas It's literally a title like Maestro. It's not his first name.
hahahha :)
@@Hue_Neryits not a title like "maestro". In Spain, it's simply the nickname for who has the name "francisco", like peña and de lucia
Paco had power, precision, percussion, dynamics, clarity, and above all...TONE. He was a rare breed. Truly virtuoso!
And..... his name is Paco.
In Guitar music - thats an advantage :P
@@goshu7009 ...and the 2 Paco have grand master Sabicas as a mentor and essential influence, another avantage : the Sabicas style influence is very remarquable on that solea
Please don't refer to the Maestro in the past tense. He is still very much alive.

Just maintaining the traditional flamenco posture is still something to look for....sincere style, Cordoban austerity...
Way to go, maestro
Hands down one of the best flamenco technique in the world, and by far my favorite player.
Las cualidades de Paco Peña son muchas, algunas de ellas son: técnica depurada, mucha expresión, compás y matices adecuados, su trémolo flamenco es uno de los mejores. Congratulaciones para este gran maestro.
Además también es buen compositor y los rasgueos que realiza son demoledores.Yo lo descubrí por un reportaje de Julian Bream
Porque cuando bse habla de guitarrista flamencos me da la impresión de que el nombre de Paco Peña no sale
@@Lamachincuepa pues no deberia de de ser ,es un grande de varios palos flamencos como la solea ,farrucas y demas
These recordings of master Paco Pena should be listened by guitar students all over the world
Yes a great Flamenco Technician along with another great Classical Technician and one of his best friends John Williams
100%
¡Que duende! ¡Que sonido! Paco Peña was a true genius. Wonderful piece!
Es!!! Stil Is🎼🎵🎶.
To me this is the best flamenco player in the world
I wish it would continue for more minutes 😮❤😊

Éa!@@alaamustafa4994
Más que de Cordoba es la soleá de Sabicas. Casi idéntica. Que hermoso toque de este maestro. Gracias Paco Peña por regalarnos ese arte tan puro.
Realmente es una delicia para los oídos los sonidos que emana de las manos de ese tremendo guitarrista. Paco Peña y olé!. Saludos desde el Perú!
It has been 8 years that I listen to this. I couldn't find a better one. It's sublime.
ALWAYS FOLLOWED BILLBOARD'S CLASSICAL CHARTS BACK THEN 1988 WHEN I DICOVERD THIS
superb, outstanding tremolo quality.
This is so beautiful.... it opens your hert.
Paco Peña is in my opinion one of the best Spanish flamenco composers, this video is pure gold!

@takeitindballs Yes
@takeitindballs still waiting, lolz I knew you were talking shite and know very little about flamenco, oh well, nae worries, all the best.
@takeitindballs He plays a half compás, nothing out of compás about that ! That's pretty normal and basic stuff, especially in the older style of playing. Anyway, no worries, man.
@takeitindballs he did compose
Flamenco music is only spanish property and Paco Peña of course! 👏👏👏
This is absolutely fabulous to my ears.
make me cry.. jaja beautifull.. i miss my beautifull spain..
That's' real and traditional flamenco performed by the best flamenco guitarist. Thumbs up and best regards Karlheinz
This performance takes my breath away. This man was truly a master of his craft!
Was? He's still alive and playing.
And still is, thanks God!
he is still at it !
GRANDE INTERPRETE CHITARRISTA FLAMENCO!!! SONO UN SUO FAN!!!
¡madre mía que pedazo de solea. Una bendición para los oídos!👏👏👏👏

Simply an absolutely fantastic piece. Full of aire, great technique, phenominal timing
Sublime - how can anyone put a thumbs down?
I always found him to be one of the most refined and classy flamenco players. So crisp!!!
Nothing more to say than thank you!
Simply Fantastic .. This guy is a saint by all measures
Absolute great player. Original sound.
While the late great Paco de Lucia looked up to the sky while he played his magic on the guitar, Paco Peña looks down at his guitar while he embraces it because his Flamenco soul lies there. .. simply fantastic.
Qué elegancia, qué maravilla
Why is that every PACO is a genius in flamenco and guitar ..?
No es verdad. Mi tío Paco no toca ni la pandereta. Y mi vecino Paco es sordomudo.
Blown away by this beautiful playing. Also really great recording for the time. 1971 my year of birth, and this was a masterpiece.
El trémolo en esta pieza es espectacular, bravo!
Paco Pena may have the best tremolo I've ever heard.
Gérardo Nunez also rocks a mean tremelo
Hope you there because you should hear Manolo Sanlucar's Tremolo
The Godfather of oldschool flamenco with the best tremolo i ever heard live and on records.
Man, that would be awesome to play like that. Thanks for putting this up.
Oyendo a Paco, te encuentras en un tablao, con bailaores y vuelos de enaguas almidonadas, aderezado todo con el aroma de un buen jerez recién tirao...
Ole, el más antiguo de los modernos.
Magnificent - every second :)
always a pleasure watching a high quality video of this masestro.
Very Emotional & melodious song !!! Those tremolos are sublime !!!
Fuck me, there are no words... long life to Paco Peña
Him and sabicas are my favorites
What about paco de lucia?..
@@palpalonpalpalon young paco de lucia was playing traditional flamenco. Then he changed his style and approached to jazz .(after interviewing with Sabicas in the Usa.)
