Paco Peña - Alegrías

[@alexiscalderon4654]

El flamenco fusión de Paco de Lucia es sumamente interesante pero de verdad me gusta escuchar la autentica escencia del flamenco antiguo

[@suheilkaspar8885]

Paco Peña made me love Flamenco. And much as I love De Lucia, I deeply respect this guy's choice of not deviating from the essence of Flamenco. .. One of the great guitarists of all times.

[@ruckerd2324]

Paco came to my little Artsy..yet Hillbilly town of Tryon North Carolina a few years ago. He was with a few other flamenco guitarists and some dancers both male and female. For two and a half hours we were spell bound beyond reason! Can't even put in into words.......Dale

[@reidgalbraith250]

Nice Dale. Best, Reid 🎉

[@АндрейБендерский-в9п]

Пако Пена чародей!!!Брависсимо!!!

[@sixtobenedetti8360]

Que gran maestro! Otro de los grandes guitarristas de la historia, se puede notar la influencia de Sabicas en sus falsetas!! Muy buen tema

[@tommy2z2z]

ALWAYS PERFECT TECHNIQUE AND QUALITY!

[@duendesoul]

Paco is very easy on the ears, but try to play this stuff and you will find it deceivingly difficult. I love this guy.

[@glxblt-sd1ze]

I don't when did you figure it's easy on the ear

[@MysterioFan02]

@@glxblt-sd1ze it means its easy to listen to and sounds simple

¡Viva Caí!. ¿cómo hay a quien no le gusta esto y lo muestra con un “dislike”?.

[@donaltzaboo6907]

Never boring to hear him .. always new 👌

[@schecterowns]

This guy is one of the best classical guitarists i have ever seen.

[@rufinosanchez2703]

yippit: Recién veo tu comentario. Debo aclarar que según la forma común de clasificar a los guitarristas decimos lo siguiente: clásicos, de jazz, populares, folclóricos, flamencos, etc. Al maestro Paco Peña lo clasificamos como guitarrista flamenco. Muchas gracias.

[@TomasJimenezFlamencoGuitarist]

@@rufinosanchez2703 Paco Peña , mas flamenco imposible.

[@elpataschuecas]

Paco Peña No será el más virtuoso pero la pureza de su trémolo y la fuerza de sus Rasgueos son impresionantes !!

[@rufinosanchez2703]

Ricky: ¿Qué significa para ti que Paco Peña no sea el más virtuoso, acaso para ser virtuoso hay que tocar cosas que nadie entienda? Yo encuentro que Paco Peña tiene la técnica adecuada y el virtuosismo necesario para expresar lo que él desea en el flamenco. Congratulaciones al maestro Paco Peña.

[@bennyjazzful]

WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 From a mad keen 76yo Aussie fan.

[@rufinosanchez2703]

Esta es una "Alegría" muy original y desde luego muy alegre, como lo indica el nombre del baile. Congratulaciones al maestro Paco Peña.

[@lepetitorchestre2730]

Que la guitare flamenca est belle. Quelle émotion. Quel trémolo. Epoustouflant. J'adore !!!

[@jamesjoyce2279]

oui, , le trémolo cest bon - peut- etre fantastique

[@amityaadav]

they both have their unique styles, when it comes to the people who create history its not just to say who's the best!

[@TomasJimenezFlamencoGuitarist]

Paco Peña is magnificent---a great maestro and with such beautiful music and so very flamenco.

[@MsMarcap]

Great Music - great player - excellent teacher - 'que mas quiere' - and tradtional - 'lo mejor para mi'

[@duendesoul]

Thanks for the post! Anything Paco Pena is GOLD by me.

[@NeolardoPwn]

Traditionnal flamenco is the type I like most, and Paco Peña is as good as it gets.

[@entredosaguas16]

very beautiful playing!!

[@roccomagliola7333]

Uno dei plu grandi chitarristi spagnoli

[@jimmyled7083]

افضل معزوفه سمعتها وأفضل عزف للجيتار من يستطيع أن يعزف بهذه المهاره؟ فقط paco pena he is The best

[@davidredshaw448]

I love the sound of this guitar which seems to balance a good resonance with the woody effect one associates with an proper old fashioned flamenco guitar. What woods are involved in the making?

[@GuitarMaster2410]

Siempre ha habido grandes guitarristas flamencos, y Paco Peña es uno de ellos. En contra de lo que muchos piensan, Paco de Lucía no es el único que hay que escuchar y todos estamos de acuerdo en que es el mejor. El siguió el camino de asociarse a músicos de jazz y otros, como Manolo Sanlúcar, que se acercó más al mundo de la música clásica, o Serranito, o Paco Peña, que ha colaborado con John Williams, Inti-ilimani, y Eduardo Falú, han seguido otros caminos, que merecen el mismo respeto.

[@rufinosanchez2703]

Juan: Tienes toda la razón. Siempre hubo excelentes guitarristas del flamenco. Los había desde antes de Ramón Montoya. Sucede que mucha gente que escucha flamenco no lo sabe. No todos estamos de acuerdo en que De Lucía es el mejor, porque eso depende del gusto personal, además de la propaganda que se le haga. Una cosa es la técnica, rapidez o velocidad, malabares, etc. y otra es la musicalidad. Ahora volviendo al gran maestro Paco Peña (que es lo que importa en este vídeo) puedo decir que además de su técnica perfecta, transmite emoción, tiene salero, etc. Congratulaciones para Paco Peña.

[@BirdBop]

Music is not like technology, it doesn't have to advance, to put it simple if it is a masterpiece it will be timeless. Modern flamenco is great but why shouldn't traditional be great.

[@abdelwahabflayinv9592]

Fun hypothesis: both Chaabi and Flamenco are thought to have evolved in Andalousia, the two styles share a lot in common but each have distinct musical patterns, Chaabi is the most popular style in Algeria and, I think I have spotted in this piece patterns that are distinct to Chaabi (from 00:58 to 1:07) wich would imply that Peña inspired himself from Chaabi, hence the name Alegrias (wich also means joys), a little bit in the same way Fransisco Tarrega inspired himself from arabe rythmic instruments for writing Cappricho Arabe, when he was algiers the capital of algeria.

[@sistalinda]

True. Similarities abound in so many types of music. The distinction is relevant considering the differing origins and repertoire. A dominant conversation is with respect to the particular, unique tradition of Flamenco as a distinct art form worthy of undiluted conservation. Other genre are influenced by Flamenco, but Flamenco remains conservative.

[@Flamencoide72]

Genio!!

[@Fer666esp]

el mejor trémolo del flamenco

BEST GUITAR PLAYER!

[@Alejandrakoxxx]

amigo está bien que no le guste su ejecución, pero no pase por alto que este señor es garante de la tradición del flamenco, al igual que Paco de Lucía, Tomatito y todos los que han expandido este género

[@herbnik]

@Dzakovich000 You're right of course...rosewood's only used for back & sides. maybe red cedar?

[@depaz10]

I love how he ends, he puts his hand in the air!

[@nicholasrubianes5368]

It's called flamenco bro

[@frederiquefiorente5494]

Bravo !!!!

[@carloscrespo3345]

ole ese toque estupendo

[@Hue_Nery]

Paco Pena and John Williams happen to be good friends and neighbors afaik. Just for your information. I'm sure Paco and John enjoy each other's playing quite well.

[@alirezayarahmadi8345]

Boy u suck

[@boredom5132]

Incredible

[@Dzakovich000]

@herbnik Rosewood on the top? That seems unlikely. It is usually Spruce or Cedar. Just hard to tell because sometimes cedar can be light beige and sometimes spruce can be darker.

[@ape09090]

estupendo!

[@Dena85588]

The best ever👌👏👍 Any one have notes? Or tutorial vids?

[@MORESCALGERINA]

Yes it is similar of the great maestro Sabicas...Thank you

[@Guitarwizardjoinme]

@tmjcbs Actually, Paco is playing mostly Sabicas falsettas here.

[@gmihut]

One of my favorites...all my life

[@sistalinda]

He is one of the best Flameco guitarists. I'm not sure if he performs any of the classical repertoire.

[@NormanMac]

I seem to recognize Sabicas'falsetas from an old recording

[@jamh2000]

Definitely a Gerundino- has the headstock.

[@mawsterin]

@tmjcbs aunque sea flamenco tradicional es increible. solo hay que escucharlo pa entenderlo xD

[@Sadduur]

Yes very pure flamenco. I like many styles and variations of flamenco, but there is something "punchy" about this :) Now learning pieces from Penas book "Toques Flamencos"! They are really cool and I will post some I've learned after I have reached something that is even close to "perfection" :)

[@georgetrakadas8595]

i can't find this Alegrias tab

[@herbnik]

Probably rosewood. It is quite often used on flamenco guitars

[@eagl02]

Ones who are good do not brag....

[@rezaghadami4339]

Nice

[@rednut27]

I find it so unjust that paco pena, one of greatest guitarists the world has ever seen, has such a tiny wikipedia file. But if you look at eric claptons, it's huge! Anyone want to make Paco a lovely huge page for wiki?? I'm busy at the moment...

[@pierreromeo7311]

Oleeeeee

[@tmjcbs]

That Paco Peña plays traditional flamenco is his own choice. That you find him boring, ok, there's no accounting for taste. But your comment suggests, to say the least, that you find him boring because he has missed out on the evolution of flamenco guitar. And that is about the most stupid argument to dislike types of music. How boring Bach must be then, he has missed out on 250 years of 'classical music evolution'!

[@boredom5132]

tmjcbs anyone who finds this boring is a fool.

[@leonardouliano4896]

Traditional flamenco is my favorite brand of flamenco hands down. It just doesn't get any better than Sabicas, Paco Pena or Nino Ricardo for me.

[@HarryKingham-f4t]

Amazing you wouldn’t know that’s a classical

[@Dzakovich000]

What is the wood on his guitar? Too dark to be spruce, I think.

[@kooliozful]

credit to the chap who wrote this as well....

[@camilo567]

[@Allenamenlukken]

Can somebody give me the sheets of this song?

[@workingstiff19]

"The evolution of the flamenco guitar"? It's traditional, not something that is supposed to evolve. Times have changed and the Gypsies don't roam anymore, they live in housing projects. We're lucky to have Flamenco music at all.

[@sistalinda]

That looks like the late Tim Russert from NBC in the audience (mid-left).

[@elpataschuecas]

QUE GRAN SONIDO TIENEN LAS GUITARRAS " GERUNDINO FERNANDEZ "

[@guillermocarrillo1596]

and the saxon media tries to portray the Australian John Williams as the number one guitar player in the world jajajja he is JUST one MECHANISTIC interpreters of this instrument which can only be interpreted WITH SOUL by the SPANIARDS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tmjcbs]

if anybody can help me out with either the title or at least the style, I'd appreciate it.

[@noel1525]

como se nota la presencia de guiris ajaja

[@gamerska]

The guy rox

[@jamh2000]

Not technical enough??? His technique is unbelievable- to play even 5 seconds with the touch, sound and rhythm that he gets is beyond most very good guitarists- the way he colours and phrases the whole thing is unique as well. A lot of good players good play the notes but their technique wouldn't be good enough to get them to have the right effect.

[@tmjcbs]

well, I think the role of improvisation is somewhat overrated: most pieces are often played about the same, with improvisation only here and there. But that of course depends on the players and the style: in the somewhat more complex pieces Pena plays, improvisation is more limited than De Lucia's playing, for instance. Defeinitely most of Pena's pieces are quite easily recognisable, especially by those who have his recordings.

[@YusWieggers]

[@mentevisualizadora]

Dudo que le copie algo a paco de lucia... si esos musicos tienen su orgullo, más bien eso que dices paco de lucia se lo tomó al niño miguel... pero en fin... lo ma´s correcto es decir que lo hayan tomado de esos tocaores gitanos, de andalucia, de esos toques antiguos. No glorifiques a un solo guitarrista que por ahi copian muchas cosas de otros que son anónimos y se lo registran como propios. Saludos.

lol flamenco guitar with wooden friction pegs rare find. these guys get the point of the guitar as a polyphonic instrument and not just for insane wanking.

[@gerundino98]

Tremendous player but looking a bit sheepish at the finish - missed a big note on the opening arpeggio.

[@lunatic7700]

wonderful guitarman, but his concert, for a couple of years, was really boring and without spirit, I was very disappointed !
