Music of the week this week is definitely triggered by the performance by El Yiyo just on 6/6.

Paco de Lucia in my mind is the god of Flamenco guitar. His live performance was phenomenon that drove the whole hall of audience crazy.

The magic of Flamenco music always lays on the interesting chemistry and spirit of the band to improvise together to create a momentum, a mood and a groove.

Paco de Lucia in Carlos Saura’s film “Flamenco”, section “Tangos”


Speaking about Flamenco from Carlos Saura, no one should miss his earlier works of "Flamenco Trilogy". The following clip is one of my favorite parts from Saura’s film “Carmen”. Antonio Gades’ music team were rehearsing to create the music for dance. After hearing “pres des ramparts de seville” from the opera, Paco started to improvise the melody in “flamenco” way (bulería). (I also love Antonio Gades and Cristina Hoyos’ dance.)
