Paco Peña - Moruña

[@olewetdog6254]

What an amazing song and performance! It just hits all the right spots.

[@saeedalborzi1172]

More than 40 years ago I listened to this masterpiece by El Maestro Paco Pena for the first time and still is wonderful for me.

[@spicyone]

By far the most expressive flamenco player that ever lived. This is pure art.

[@spicyone]

@DanaFritzy With all do respect for Sabicas as probably being one of the founders of flamenco music, what this man Paco Pena did, is take all these flamenco pieces (not only from Sabicas) and make them 10 times better. He took the rough edges off and made them evolve into something absolutely beautiful. But that of course is my humble opinion.

[@petey604]

These have to be the greatest camera angles to ever have captured a guitar performance. The great Paco Pena.

[@dformell]

The falsetas of Nino Ricardo, Sabicas & Luis Maravilla tastefully woven together.

Ciao Paco!Hermosa zambra! Grande Maestro de la guitarra, que arte,que sonido lleno i brillante.Paco la ultima vez que te encontre',fue en un tuo concierto en BRA en Italia.Te mostre' unas foto del tiempo del curso en Cordoba y el Potro en los anos 90'....Un saludo afetuoso. Giorgio T.

[@dr79105]

Definetely, This is a masterpiece and he is a master degree guitarist:))

[@Agudo685]

I would have to agree with spicyone. For me, Paco Peña put it together better than anyone. There may be players that were technically better, or were more innovative, or whatever - no one I've ever heard plays it as beautifully to my ear as Paco. This Paco.

[@radrook7584]

At least he doesn't take innovation to the extreme like Carlos Montoya did.

[@NeolardoPwn]

Any true Paco Pena fan will know Sabicas. I enjoy his music a whole lot too but I agree with Spicyone, Paco Pena is by a long shot my favorite!

[@zemach4422]

This is pure art,deserve so many more views!!

[@Luchito316]

[@NeolardoPwn]

I agree, this is magnificent.

[@TomasJimenezFlamencoGuitarist]

Oh no this man is a lunatic... this is insanly good.

[@Tsolakk]

nice. what a great sound

[@antoniobrandao1]

For me it's hard to figure that one out, between Paco Pena and El Nino Miguel. For me surely Paco Pena is the one who grought absolute perfection to traditional (true) Flamenco, and Nino Miguel could be the the most expressive (as he is more irreverent and less orthodox), but I can only be sure he's my favourite innovator. It's hard to take decisions between my two favourites

[@joseantoniocondecorrales7906]

Recuerda el inicio al gran Sabicas y al tema del Niño Ricardo "Recuerdos de Sevilla", ambos influenciados por la composición "Capricho Árabe" de Francisco TÁRREGA.9

[@antoniobrandao1]

I'm with jamh2000. Would be great to see other parts of this show

[@NeolardoPwn]

The sections you're referring to are most probably old flamenco falsetas that alot of flamenco players re-use. I've heard some of the falsetas in this Paco Pena piece before, in pieces by Sabicas and Nino Ricardo.

[@antoniobrandao1]

Actually they are both Zambras. Zambra is an arabic dance / beat. Moruna is if you want, a variant of Zambra - but the source is the same.

[@TrajanoSerravallijunior]

Mauri, Tuareg, Numidians Libians, Berberes nordeste aqrica

[@NeolardoPwn]

And just a last thought, I think both Paco de Lucia and Paco Pena have reached their master's level in their technique, they are both as good as it gets with a spanish guitar, just as Sabicas was in his time. The difference being that Sabicas did come earlier and brought innovation.

[@swaroov9236]

i say paco de lucia beats the guitar but paco pena makes love to the guitar

[@Lil7guitarplayer]

Hare Krishna you don’t understand what paco plays

[@antoniobrandao1]

Performance-wise, two flawless perfectionists. I may agree Sabicas could have best at something, possibly his engineering-level accuracy and sharpness. But this almost mechanic rigidness that's so admirable about Sabicas hardly makes his music the most pleasurable to listen to. On the other hand Peña's toque perfectionism has roundness, adds subtlety, his performances sound completed, polished & matured like a good wine or wood. In this sense Sabicas' performances sound a bit like etudes.

[@antoniobrandao1]

Sabicas is great in composition, innovation (at the time), and compas accuracy. But he lacked the sensitivity and perfect smoothness of his playing. Sabicas made great Flamenco but was harsh in playing, often too strict. In the other hand, Paco Pena plays graciously like fine art, in this sense, no one else beats him. He brought perfection to the toque itself.

[@osamamalluhi8922]

Try to listen to Juan Serrano's playing , it is as perfected as Paco's

[@goshu7009]

Is Moruna a type of fish or it has other meaning in Spanish$

[@tmjcbs]

Without the tilde on the n it is indeed a fish, but here it's a derivation of Moorish, referring to the Muslim community in Spain in medieval times. As you'll no doubt hear this piece has very strong Arabic influences, similar to Zambra Mora and Amanecer Arabe, other Arabic sounding flamenco pieces played by Paco Peña (both on KZbin played by Paco, albeit the first is simply called Zambra) and other flamenco guitarists...here endeth the lesson...

[@goshu7009]

@@tmjcbs Thank you very much.

[@1cleandude]

Does anyone know what those tuning pegs are made from?? Great video all!!

[@Feuerbanane]

does anyone have the tabs of this beautiful piece? or at least know where i can find them or in which book they were published? please helb me out ;)

[@Tomatito1981]

Constantin Infantado hi Constantin only 4 years late but the tabs are now available in guitarPro and PDF formats to purchase on Tabsflamenco.com

[@Gipsy613]

Can someone tell me is it the normal tuning of the strings?

[@Tomatito1981]

El Yoma : Flamenco Guitar lessons bass 6th string detuned to D, the remaining strings are standard open tuning :)

[@oliverjohn5566]

Drop D

[@jamh2000]

Sorry to be a pain but this is amazing- high quality and when he was young-do you have the whole show? If you ever felt like digitizing more of it lots of us would love it!

[@jgrimwade1]

Yes, please who has the whole recording

[@KungFuMaster1972]

Juan Serrano's Zambra is very similar to this piece. In-fact, there are literally sections and progressions which are, in theory, identical. It's time to research which piece came first.

[@espaguettivolador]

2:24 -.-

[@randycalifornia]

este qué palo es?

[@nickgonzalezbrown2503]

+Javier Berjon Zambra, como los estilos de Niño Ricardo y Sabicas especialmente. (Lo siento, no hablo/escribo muy bien en Español)

[@Almario95]

I heard this piece on an album of Paco Peña (can't remember the name). The interpretation was just amazing. Far better than this live.
