Spanish flamenco, classical, jazz guitarist & musician (1947-2014)
Spanish flamenco guitarist who turned the genre inside-out by fusing it with jazz and classical, making his fingers move faster than most people's thoughts. Paco de Lucía basically rewrote what flamenco guitar could do.
Francisco Gustavo Sánchez Gómez, known as Paco de Lucía, was a Spanish virtuoso flamenco guitarist, composer, and record producer. A leading proponent of the new flamenco style, he was one of the first flamenco guitarists to branch into classical and jazz. Richard Chapman and Eric Clapton, authors of Guitar: Music, History, Players, describe de Lucía as a "titanic figure in the world of flamenco guitar", and Dennis Koster, author of Guitar Atlas, Flamenco, has referred to de Lucía as "one of history's greatest guitarists".
