Paco de Lucia

This guy is a living genius, of Django level.
Don't want him to pass without recognising it, or perhaps just spreading the word to folks who don't know the guy.

Not a music reader or theorist, but has a rhythm/timing ability that is jaw dropping. Technique speaks for itself.

I'll second that. I saw him live recently complete with his troupe of singers and dancers, a night I will never forget.

Friday Night in San Francisco is one of my favorite acoustic albums.
Al, Paco, and John are incredible.

Wow, great video.

I have one album of the three boys; Passion, Grace and Fire (1983). They were some group, would have loved to have seen them live.
