[@DC180]

paco pena you are so amazing..

[@BluesHeavy]

The interviewer asks questions and doesn't want to wait till the answer

[@chrishouston909]

I realize I am kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good website to watch newly released series online?

[@Darren-D.C-Cross]

The interviewer is a pain

[@railcar123]

Amazing!

[@TrajanoSerravallijunior]

Legado e também uma troca na região do seu jeito natural de fazer as mudanças necessárias nas estradas do planeta e sua caixa com seus próprios recursos naturais de uma área do conhecimento em cada linha do tempo de execução em todo lugar que desejar fazer

[@BluesHeavy]

The original blues and Flamenco are similar. The songs are earthy filled with pain and sorrow and just like Blues the singing came before the guitar and so did the dance the guitar came later. It is important to understand the Flamenco has been around a lot longer than the blues and thus had time to grow and become more advanced. If you we're around at the time when Flamenco guitar was beginning I bet it was just as raw as Robert Johnson sounded..

[@BradConroy_guitar]

awesome..

[@GameLevelEditor]

I've always wondered if Paco Pena jammed with Paco de Lucia at some point. Paco Paco. Both play amazing!

[@algrand90]

@Y2H did you hear the interview at least ??? paco pena a flmaneco player (who i assume is more expert than you in this field) has clearly explained that flamenco is a popular kind of music most of the flamenco greats dont read music they learned the art of flamenco by ear

[@indrakurniawan5259]

AMAZING PACO PENA PLAY GUITAR

[@MrMjp58]

A great programme at the time I thought. I watched it in 74 and as far as I know it was never repeated. My Dad was impressed with Jeff Beck [as was I]. The day after the broadcast when I discussed it with a respected figure, he slated it as being somewhat passe/banal etc. I knew at that point I was going to have trouble understanding certain reactions to music. I was right in that. Here we are nearly 40 years on and still arguing.

[@taorob3]

What did the interviewer say at 1:10 when talking about american blues players?

[@ManolitoMystiq]

It's a style, Bulerias. You could say he improvised on the rhythm of Bulerias.

[@bluesrhythmandroll]

the programme was aimed at peple who know nothing of the guitar, the interviewer was just trying to keep it simple. those calling him out on here should learn to have the same level of human respect that Paco Pena has.

[@KevinToine]

i love what he plays at 1:35 is it from a song? or was it improv?

[@danielverhulst1378]

That was improvised. What he played was the compas, which is the the meter or characteristic rhythm structure of a flamenco style, of a bulería which is one of the many flamenco styles

[@fabjanceka]

@Y2H that's right.

[@Estonianwoodsman]

@Y2H He's comparing them on the basis of both musics being folk music. the music is based on an aural tradition. they are the same in that regard. and really, flamenco music in itself isn't that complicated. the playing is incredible, but the same could be said in blues.

[@murdelabop]

@alvarogrm I think he actually used the word "negro", but it came out kind of chewed because of his accent.

[@ThrashingReign23]

Damnnnnn

[@nisa06]

paco pena seems to be a real nice person in real life

[@Chilesization]

@Y2H Blues popular simple and Flamenco complicated and classy?? How old are you son? Blues and Flamenco are improvised, and come from the heart. They are similar in feeling, absolutely different in tecnique. And none of them are classy. Flamenco is folk.

[@ghiribizzi]

@Y2H indeed blues is popular music , meanwhile flamenco players like to called them arte hondo, not folk, not popular, but there is a hughe diference on this, its hard to understand, there is a great TRADITION on this, probably he compared flamenco with blues with he didnt know anything of music after all.

[@kingrocker44]

Dig the shoes!

[@DK-bw5dr]

This guy drops the n-word so subtlety but tbf it was the 70’s

[@BluesHeavy]

Ignorance is a shame music is so universal and listening and respecting all aspects will make you a better musicians. Music is about sharing a feeling only those of us who need reassurance Kling to the need to compare artist and style and choose winners.

[@murdelabop]

@ddelpercio I know that. The problem is that when it is applied to people it means "people of African ancestry", or "Black people". It's closely associated with "the N word", which is a corruption of it. Unfortunately, a lot of people who are spring loaded to the offended position take offense to it.

[@ranklepankle6298]

I have the vinyl, one side is Paco Pena, one side is Paco de Lucia. They don't play together.

[@BluesHeavy]

To add to my thoughts Blues was vital increasing the jazz movement which really is the evolution of the Blues and I feel Jazz musicians are the most knowledgable musicians in the world . As a matter of fact Paco Delucia has combined his Flamenco with Jazz elements to create his sound, so you can argue that blues has impacted Flamenco.

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

11 years after: you got it all wrong

[@BluesHeavy]

@@JulioLeonFandinho how is that

[@taorob3]

Nothing, I just wasnt sure what he said

[@CaenFilms]

I think I know why he was holding back his laughter at the end lol

[@DariushUK7]

Paco pena was Tony Blair teacher. I wonder if Tony glue his nail too.

[@willy1986tralara]

@Y2H NO, flamenco is popular

[@theshapeexists]

Back before the days of decent haircuts. Miss those days, but not the hairstyles

[@DariushUK7]

Flamenco guitars are built lighter in weight than classical guitars, which produces a “brighter” and more percussive sound quality.

[@muziksiyenci]

Isn't he Eliot Fisk? :)

[@rain1ny]

@Y2H You have not a clue to what you are saying. Flamenco is the blues music of the gitanos.

[@topilurus]

The interviewer is look like a 5 years old kid mind! he didn't know anything! especially who is he talk about. LOL...

[@Y2H]

Look, Blues is popular simple music. Flamenco is a complicated classy music please dont compare them!

[@Dalmato1000]

flamenco is gypsy music rooted from romani gypsies and innovated with arabic,moor,and jewish music... even to this day its improvising with other kinds of music....interviewer is annoying....

[@marienoellemeunier7423]

😅😭🤣és musica ANDALUZA

[@chafikrabai646]

Such a humble artist and such an arrogant and dumb interviewer 🤢
