Über Paco de Lucía

Paco de Lucía was the most influential flamenco guitarist of all time, a virtuoso who redefined what the instrument could do. He expanded flamenco's harmonic language, introduced the cajón and jazz elements, and formed a legendary partnership with singer Camarón de la Isla. His 1973 rumba Entre dos Aguas became an unlikely chart hit and brought flamenco guitar to a global audience. When he died in 2014, Spain mourned the loss of one of its greatest artists.
