En Vivo Conciertos España is the first release of new material in seven years, and first live album in 18, by the flamenco guitar god par excellence. While de Lucía's output has slowed down considerably in the past two decades, the same cannot be said of his prodigious dexterity, in light of this two-CD set culled from his 2010 Spanish tour. de Lucía performs extended variations of eight of his compositions (almost every track surpasses the ten-minute mark) together with his new band of guitarist Antonio Sánchez, bassist Alain Pérez, singers David de Jacoba and Duquende, harmonica player Antonio Serrano, and dancer Farru, all eminently up to de Lucía's notoriously high standards. A DVD with the "making-of" documentary La Inmortalidad del Concierto completes the release.

Mariano Prunes - All Music Guide



If you want “la verdad” when it comes to Spanish guitar  playing and atmospheric music, look no further than Paco De Lucia, who is hitting his prime with this exciting and passionate collection of concert sessions from his homeland on this 2 cd package.  He’s supported by an exciting tam of Alain  Perez/b, Israel Suarez/perc, Antonio Serrano/key-harmonica, Antonio Sanchez/g, a pair of vocalists (David de Jacoba and Duquende, as well as thrown in for special pleasures, a flamenco dancer named Farruco who spices things up.

The material ranges from genteel instrumentals such as “Variaciones de Minera” or gracious rhythm pieces like “El Cafetal”  to vocals that mix Andalusian harmonies with Moorish calls of love and romance, as on “Mi Antonia” and “Lagartijo.” De Lucia’s touch on the strings can be as gentle as a church candle or as declarative as a run of the bulls. The range of dynamics throughout the collection of songs, even on a single song is as flavorful as chicken paella. A feast of fret work.

Flamenco/classical guitarist Paco de Lucia died unexpectedly February 25, 2014, while playing with his children on a beach at Playa del Carmen in Mexico.  He was 66 years old and his death was a monumental loss to contemporary Spanish music.

Paco de Lucia was one of the first artists to explore the fusion of flamenco and jazz. His skill and speed were astonishing and electrifying. His legacy has been captured in recordings like this final album, his twenty-fifth.

With his septet, de Lucia created high-power improvisations which reflect the loose abandon and inspirational personal style of each musician. De Lucia learned to play the guitar by ear. He was influenced by the flamenco music of his neighborhood where he grew up and emerged as a child prodigy. He evolved into a touring ensemble musician and started his recording career. He was also a master of the classical guitar.

In 1968 he met a young gypsy singer, Camaron de las Isla who happened to come from the same province as de Lucia, Cadiz. Their musical chemistry was unique and the duo composed and recorded nine albums.

Camaron was a genius who expressed the deep flamenco soul with the defiance of the rockers, expressing the greatest intensity, taking his vocal art to undreamed-of heights. Unfortunately, he died in 1992 from cancer.

De Lucia continued his visionary art with a solo career and then with a guitar trio in 1979 and in 1980 forging the then avant-garde style of flamenco jazz. In 1981 he formed the Paco de Lucia Sextet which featured instruments like the electric bass, saxophone and flute plus the box-shaped cajón which de Lucia had found in Peru. He said it was the essential percussion instrument to accompany flamenco guitar.

Having made both studio and live recordings, de Lucia said, “The energy created during a live performance can never be created in a studio, that’s where the soul of the music is most likely to appear – live on stage.”

This final album of Paco de Lucia’s has been available off and on since 2012. It is an extraordinary testament to a great artist. The sound on these two CDs is breathtaking in its realism. This release is for lovers of flamenco and jazz and the successful combination of these two musical forms.

Don’t forget de Lucia’s performance of Rodrigo’s “Concierto de Aranjuez” on Verve 510 301. Rodrigo considered it the best. [Or “Friday Night in San Francisco” = the fabulous live guitar trio of 1980 with John McLaughlin and Al De Meola – on both SACD and 45rpm vinyl…Ed.]

A long seven-year silence preceded this collection of live flamenco music from one of the genre's true masters. The selections here find De Lucia's explosive technical dexterity tempered by an older, wiser performer's touch. After opening with a solitary, bare rendition of "Variaciones De Minera," the masterful guitarist is joined by a handful of young musicians, including his nephew Antonio Sanchez on guitar and Antonio Serrano on harmonica. It's a long ride (five of the six tunes approach or exceed 10 minutes), but one that captures a fiery performance of a legend.

Paco de Lucia steht für die Kunst des Flamenco wie kein anderer. International berühmt wurde er aber auch durch das Live-Album "Friday Night in San Francisco" mit Al Di Meola und John McLaughlin und zahllose andere Referenz-Aufnahmen. Wie jeder echte Musiker sucht Paco de Lucia stets die Nähe zum Publikum, die besondere Herausforderung der Live-Situation: "Du spürst das Adrenalin. Alles, was auf der Bühne passiert, ist echt. Die Energie ist ganz anders als im Tonstudio, die Seele der Musik entsteht live." Ein Beispiel für eine großartige Live-Aufnahme ist dieses Doppel-Album von Paco de Lucias Spanientournee 2010. Begleitet von zahlreichen musikalischen Freunden schwebt er mühelos auf den Seiten seiner Gitarre und findet die Seele der Musik.

"Vor begeisterten Landsleuten geben sie Lucía-Klassiker ("Zyryab") und neues Material zum Besten, einmal mit Intro von John McLaughlin ("Vámonos"). Da folgt Höhepunkt auf Höhepunkt."
