Paco de Lucia was born Francisco Gustavo Sánchez Gómez in the southen Spanish town of Algeciras, Cádiz, and is rightly regard as one of the finest guitar players around. Born into a musical family of guitar players and singers, he intensely practised his instrument from 5 years on. Recorded 10 albums with the legendary Cameron de la Isla and conquered the world (and shocked the flamenco purists) with this mythical rumba here, while also crossing over to jazz and classical music. One of the major forces in flamenco and beyond of the last 40 years.
