I downloaded them before they started blocking territories...

I haven't listened to it yet, but having in mind that Oscar de Leon is on this track (salsa singer), it might as well be salsa.

It is maybe surprising on the first thought to hear Paco playing salsa. But I read in one of the interviews that he actually wanted to do some styles he did not do before (after all, he passed his last years in Havana where he had a house, and he wanted to do Cubam music. Also, Ruben Blades said he and Paco were planing to do an album).

One thing that is curious is that Paco liked to dance salsa. I read this in an interview Paco's daughter Casilda did (she is a journalist). In the interview, she mentioned some things about Paco that generally were not known by his fans, and among it was that Paco liked "to improvise salsa steps in the kitchen while cooking".

That's awesome. Thanks for sharing Filip. I like to dance salsa too, and immediately recognized the clave rhythm, but second guessed myself with my limited flamenco ears.

Dancing is not that far off from musicianship, even though many dance instructors would have you believe otherwise.

I wonder what Paco's fav salsa move was...

Sure. The interview Casilda did is here http://www.telva.com/2014/02/26/estilo_de_vida/1393407559.html

The one with Ruben Blades I cannot find. Must be one of countless texts (or maybe even a video) that appeared right after Paco passed away. Anyway, if you google you will find plenty of articles announcing their collaboration. What I remember is that Blades said that they he sent to Paco some ideas and that they were supposed to meet in March.

Beauty , awsome , fantastico, super!

Thanks for sharing. This album has its own vibe and I'm really digging it not sure how to explain it yet but it feels really Mediterranean to me.

I cannot stop listening to "Maria de la O"... so hauntingly beautiful, just like Andalusia... Paco passing away recently makes this a very very melancholic album though, to me at least... but what an amazing way to say farewell!

Overall I enjoyed it but I felt like it is inferior to his prior works. But again, knowing it is the maestro playing it, it feels good.

Its more of a series of arrangements though or interpretations? Its just different to anything he has done.

Thank you, Vigrond, I was just looking for it earlier today, and of course, I find it here, the proper place and setting to listen to it.

However, it's a bit odd to hear his posthumous work, I must confess; there's something eerie about it, almost if it were a message of some sort, as if I am to understand something from it.

I am moved, of course, but I am neither impressed nor surprised. Musically it is not beautiful, novel or meaningful in the extreme way Paco de Lucia has us spoiled to expect of him. Yet, there is Paco De Lucia, his genius still shining throughout, sincerely simple and arrogantly virtuoso, as always.

Perhaps, there is something comforting about listening to his guitar playing something new, something that wasn't there until now, something that he left to all of us, as a goodbye present.

RE: Listen to Cancion Andaluza (in reply to vigrond)

I think Paco always composed and played according to his current "mood" at that particular time (not that others don't do it but in his case it was always more obvious for me at least (Remember Manuel de Falla).

And this is how he felt at this age, kind of nostalgic.
Somehow totally fitting imo.

I have to say I really enjoyed it.
To be honest, I already expected that If Paco would record another Album, he wouldn't come up with yet another Album full of "La Barossas" or something, but something more easy listening, relaxed and nostalgic, matching to an old wise Maestro.

I don't like it because I am a Paco Worshipper, I really like it despite being a hardcore Worshipper.

RE: Listen to Cancion Andaluza (in reply to vigrond)

For me tracks 7 and 8 are the best. I wish he featured his guitar solo more rather than all the overdubbing, but the ideas in the last two tracks are superior IMO. Some wicked picados in the last piece...yes salsa but a very nice fusion. I have never heard a Salsero sing with those dark arab tonos, very cool idea. The the groove is killer they have going on. The buleria is of course those famous melodies but it is all new falsetas really, a special treat IMO. The other tracks are all good but will require repeated listening to appreciate for me. Have to wait for the disc as I mainly listen to new music driving around in my car.

RE: Listen to Cancion Andaluza (in reply to vigrond)

For me, this is an incredible disk. I recognize many of these pieces, and Paco's arrangements are fantastic. My favorites are the third and fifth tracks. :)

That said, it did require many listens for me to 'get' all of it. I'm probably on my fifteenth listen today.
