quote:
After all, the guitarra flamenco IS a guitar española. I don't think so. Maybe it's a language issue. In France, guitarra espanola is synonymous of classical guitar. So according to my french references, a guitarra espanola is slighty diferrent from a guitarra flamenca, in term of construcion and such. Second, the music and Arte derivated from a guitarra espanola is strongly different from the one originated from a guitarra flamenca. Now I don't know, maybe in English or in German, the term guitarra espanola have a different meaning. In Spanish too. I don't know. But from my POV, classify Paco's entire lifework and dedication under that adjective is disrecpectful. Zata explains the context of why it comes that way. Ok, I have no prob with that as I already said. Now if you are happy with that adjective of guitarra espanola to caracterize Paco's guitar, then I'm glad for you. If you think that the term guitarra flamenca to describe Paco's music could be replaced by a more generic one, then I'm glad for you. If you think that the word flamenco is not THE word that fit to define Paco's musical style, then I'm glad for you too. I'm too respectfull toward the Arte, to accept that an umbrella adjective such as 'Spanish' could mask or redefine THE one that matches and that should be used coz of it's specificity...just to clarify my thoughts. Btw, I'm happy with that stamp hey!

There are people I'd have included before him and his brother. Gerardo, Cañizares, Riqueni... The Habichuelas have their own style, and are too old to have been strongly influenced by Paco. quote:
Yeah with the Carmona's you may as well put in the del Gastor clan - :) I would have seated Manolo Sanlucar at the table, but it is fitting Vicente looks to be near orgasmic. I'm sure we could make a looooong thread discussion who should/shouldn't have been at the table.... ....but in the end it's just a bit of fun still, if we are weighing up Paco's influence on other guitarists, what about Moraíto? I have an interview with him where he says he is of the "School of Paco de Lucía". I wouldn't have put Manolo Sanlúcar in the pic, I felt he made his own way, with his Mundo Y Formas LP's, then his disco flamenco fusion LP's in the late seventies, and his orchestral compositions etc. Was he more influenced by Paco than I'm giving credit for?
