Thanks. Is it a new Paco video we have not seen before on youtube or anywhere else on the internet?

Really cool man! Had not seen those complete arrangements of Falla before! Interesting to note the two rhythm guitars are tuned down a 1/2 step from Paco for the first Falla piece and the Tango, but Paco does a drop D and the two guitars are standard tuned for the last piece. It must be the case this show was pre-recorded live, and then playback synched to the video later. Hard to believe they could have fixed that tuning that fast anyway, but there are some shots that don’t match. The tango is cool because the Rondeña tuning in addition to drop 1/2 step really gives a deep sound to the back up guitar. I have never seen him execute a few bulerias falsetas on that guitar (this arrangement we see parts of with the Trio in 1980), so this must have been right before that guitar was stolen from his car.

Great stuff! Really good joyous energy.-they're all smiling. Ricardo its amazing how you hear the tunings and notice the synching. Paco did seem to change the capo really fast😀. The blinking stage lights is odd, but hey it is the 70s.

Did Paco record with this band?

Yes these tracks are on the 1977 Manuel de Falla album. The group was called “Dolores”.

maybe im Paco biased , and maybe not know all of the Fallas different ideas interpretations from others , but the Falla songs played by Paco are from another dimension that a classical cant achieve , and i ear a lot from different players that just respect the song as it is.
I ear that cd everyday and its incredible how he plays Falla , a lesson in how you can improve a song , a performance with lots of personality, and thats also respect for Fallas.
