Paco Peña - Solea De Córdoba

from a Dutch television recording (1971)

[@jamesjoyce2279]

Does anyone agree with me that it is just a gift and a pleasure to be able to watch and listen to this?

[@xJawsQuickScoper]

Yes

[@the61919]

Giambattista Vico yes it is!! I've seen him live, it was incredible!!

Being named Paco in flamenco means you're excellent

[@EspadasYCopas]

😂

[@Hue_Nery]

@@EspadasYCopas It's literally a title like Maestro. It's not his first name.

[@goshu7009]

hahahha :)

[@kokape02]

​​@@Hue_Neryits not a title like "maestro". In Spain, it's simply the nickname for who has the name "francisco", like peña and de lucia

[@Nijoto]

Paco had power, precision, percussion, dynamics, clarity, and above all...TONE. He was a rare breed. Truly virtuoso!

[@goshu7009]

And..... his name is Paco. In Guitar music - thats an advantage :P

[@charleslounge405]

​@@goshu7009 ...and the 2 Paco have grand master Sabicas as a mentor and essential influence, another avantage : the Sabicas style influence is very remarquable on that solea

[@boggy6060]

Please don't refer to the Maestro in the past tense. He is still very much alive.

[@rareword]

There are many brilliant virtuosos of the flamenco guitar, but among the contemporaries, Paco Peña is the only authentic flamenco I have heard. This must have something to do with the authenticity of his soul and a certain humility in the service of a tradition that he knows is greater than himself.

[@attilakovacs5803]

Agreed! I saw him playing live a few years ago and he's a very nice, humble person, in spite of being the greatest guitar virtuoso I've seen or heard in my life. He played through the flamenco "palos" with such virtuosity, style, elegance and ease that at the end of the long solo recital the rather snobbish, classical guitar minded audience just sat there in their seats, unable to move or utter a word for a long time. Obviously, they ( and we all) felt quite inadequate for the guitar compared to the great master whose amazing playing had rendered them (and all of us) speechless.

[@psalmblues]

That was a magnificent piece of solea. I've taken two years before finding this one. The only thing that he did not do, which I can do much better when playing flamenco guitar, is make mistakes.

[@albertoar8096]

Este artista debería tener desde hace mucho tiempo una calle con su nombre en nuestra ciudad de Córdoba. Ésta solea es un tesoro Bravo Paco Peña

[@solea59]

I Nothing is a gift. This is very hard work. He was born into the culture so yes, he had a head start, but it's thousands of hours study. In this world there are many who don't get success handed to them on a plate they have to work for it, and Paco has earned his place.

[@tmjcbs]

Not quite true: talent is very much a gift. Yes, Paco studied for many hours, but because he already started with an incredible talent his hours of study are so much more productive compared to somebody with considerably less talent.

[@rociojurado9015]

Yes it is a gift !! I am from Spain , and we know is a gift , one need that to start , is like a cheff , he can learn to cook in the best schools ,but if he don't have that special gift or touch ,is like no grace in his art !!! Some of you Americans think that all is technical ,and is not !!! GOD is the giver of all graces...!!!!!

[@warnerbroken8973]

@@rociojurado9015 It has nothing to do with ethnicity or anything of the sort, it's only hard work and love for the instrument. Love in combination with dedication and hard work can overcome anything and history has proven this statement infinite times. I kindly suggest you swallow your groundless ego or insecurity and face the sheer truth.

[@tasosdiaforetico7377]

I studied flamenco there and the gitano mujeres with lots of vino Tinto. My best time

[@NeolardoPwn]

Hands down one of the best flamenco technique in the world, and by far my favorite player.

[@user-ob3kq4rp9w]

Just maintaining the traditional flamenco posture is still something to look for....sincere style, Cordoban austerity... Way to go, maestro

[@rufinosanchez2703]

Las cualidades de Paco Peña son muchas, algunas de ellas son: técnica depurada, mucha expresión, compás y matices adecuados, su trémolo flamenco es uno de los mejores. Congratulaciones para este gran maestro.

[@ninometalyears]

Además también es buen compositor y los rasgueos que realiza son demoledores.Yo lo descubrí por un reportaje de Julian Bream

[@Lamachincuepa]

Porque cuando bse habla de guitarrista flamencos me da la impresión de que el nombre de Paco Peña no sale

What a wonderful player and artist.

[@suheilkaspar8885]

While the late great Paco de Lucia looked up to the sky while he played his magic on the guitar, Paco Peña looks down at his guitar while he embraces it because his Flamenco soul lies there. .. simply fantastic.

[@scooterrr2645]

Him and sabicas are my favorites

Paco Peña is in my opinion one of the best Spanish flamenco composers, this video is pure gold!

[@glissbliss1269]

@takeitindballs Not true, on both counts, this is from early in his career and yes, he's playing Sabicas etc. Later he composed a lot, he's one of the few who has composed solo guitar for tientos for example, or his petenera, he's both interpreter and composer. And as for being out of compás, you're just talking shite.

[@glissbliss1269]

@takeitindballs Yes

[@glissbliss1269]

@takeitindballs still waiting, lolz I knew you were talking shite and know very little about flamenco, oh well, nae worries, all the best.

[@glissbliss1269]

@takeitindballs He plays a half compás, nothing out of compás about that ! That's pretty normal and basic stuff, especially in the older style of playing. Anyway, no worries, man.

[@petriano1]

@takeitindballs he did compose

[@KarlheinzFey]

That's' real and traditional flamenco performed by the best flamenco guitarist. Thumbs up and best regards Karlheinz

[@inationrecords7488]

One of the greatest guitarists you're ever likely to see, with amazing fingering and technique. So what I really want to see is camera shots circling him from behind, out-of-focus shots of his hands and extreme close-ups of his face. Great job, cameramen, great job! Clap... Clap... Clap... (Just in case you can't tell, I'm being sarcastic.)

[@Ex3oP]

iNation Records the camera work is actually pretty cool. But what do I know.

[@TheMrJosephweiss]

Well duh🙃

[@KristenRea]

I get what you're saying, but the camera work in this video makes it for me. It's so dramatic. Makes me feel like I am watching a boxer or a bullfighter in the ring facing the fight of his life. It moves so fast, but Paco makes it feel like it's in slow motion.
