January 2004 + Paco de Lucía
PACO
DE LUCÍA Since
his Carnegie Hall debut in 1970, when he was crowned the reigning monarch
of flamenco guitar, Paco de Lucía has performed internationally
to “standing room only” crowds and is considered a virtuoso
musical talent of the highest rank. With his quintet and a new CD on the
boil, de Lucía returns to Cal Performances for two evenings Saturday,
January 24 at 8:00 p.m. and Sunday, January 25 at 7:00 p.m. in Zellerbach
Hall. Unarguably one of the world’s greatest living guitarists of
any genre, Paco de Lucía is a hero of modern flamenco, having created
a fusion style influenced by jazz, stretching and embellishing flamenco’s
strict structure, but remaining true to the soul of its Gypsy, Muslim
and Jewish roots. His phenomenal technique—diamond sharp with lightening
velocity—has astounded audiences for decades. The
performances on January 24 and 25 will feature selections from de Lucía’s
original flamenco guitar canon and jazz repertoire, and include new works
from his upcoming CD, Cositas Buenas, his first release in nearly five
years. Joining him onstage will be percussionist Israel Suarez Escobar,
bassist Alain Perez Rodríguez, cantore player Enrique Heredia Carbonell,
and vocalists Herminia Borjas Gabarra and Victoria Santiago Borja.
A
virtuoso performer of superb technical skill and unlimited artistry, de
Lucía’s birthplace—Cadiz, on the southernmost tip of
Spain—is synonymous with the roots of flamenco music. There he began
performing classical guitar professionally at the age of 11, and as a
teenager, toured with José Greco’s troupe. After meeting the
flamenco hero Sabicas in the United States he was encouraged to pursue
his own individual style. In doing so, de Lucía embarked on creative
jazz collaborations with pianist Chick Corea, and guitarists John McLaughlin,
Larry Coryell and Al DiMeola, among many others. Paco de Luciá has made over 30 recordings and soundtracks, with his most recent Cositas Buenas due for release in late January 2004. His 1999 recording, Luzia, is an intimate recording featuring de Lucía on guitar, brother Pepe de Lucía and Carles Benavent on mandola and bass, and Tino de Geraldo on percussion. The album, dedicated to de Lucía’s mother, Lucia Gomez, is a return to more traditional forms of flamenco. His long list of recordings has established de Lucía as the leader of his field for over three decades. The gifted guitarist continues to introduce new elements for playing and composing that powerfully redefine and propel the flamenco art form in new directions, while never losing sight of the genre’s celebrated past.
Flamenco guitar great Paco de Luciá performs original flamenco guitar and jazz repertoire, including selections from his upcoming album, scheduled for release the end of Jan 04.
