El Enigma Paco de Lucía / The Enigmatic Paco de Lucía

Su guitarra, dec?a su amigo Manolo Sanl?car, «encanta al que no sabe y vuelve loco al que sabe . Su compleja personalidad le convirti? en un genio admirado en todo el mundo, pero tambi?n en un hombre angustiado y lleno de dudas. Qu? hay tras la mirada enigm?tica del mejor m?sico ­flamenco de la historia?

Paco de Luc?a aprendi? a tocar la guitarra en casa gracias a su padre, que elabor? un ambicioso plan al estilo del que Leopold Mozart llev? a cabo con su hijo. Pronto se convirti? en un virtuoso que super? a todos sus maestros e hizo su primera gira mundial con solo catorce a?os. Form? una pareja m?tica con el cantaor Camar?n de la Isla y expandi? los l?mites del ­flamenco hacia lugares inimaginables. ?dolo a su pesar, en la furia de su toque est? a la vez la b?squeda y la huida de s? mismo.

Cuando se cumplen diez a?os de su inesperada muerte en Playa del Carmen (M?xico), C?sar Su?rez recorre en El enigma Paco de Luc?a los principales sucesos de su vida con un enfoque narrativo, aportando material in?dito y profundizando en las razones de su permanente insatisfacci?n y su extrema sensibilidad. Con ustedes, el fabuloso Paco de Luc?a.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"His guitar," Paco Lucia's friend Manolo Sanl?car used to say, "enchants those who don't know and drives those who do know mad." His complex personality made him a genius admired around the world, but also a man full of anguish and doubt. What was behind the enigmatic gaze of history's greatest flamenco musician?

Paco de Luc?a learned to play the guitar at home thanks to his father, who, like Leopold Mozart before him, created an ambitious training plan for his son. Paco soon became a virtuoso who overshadowed all his teachers, and embarked on his first world tour when he was only fourteen. He formed a legendary partnership with singer-songwriter Camar?n de la Isla, expanding the limits of flamenco to places unimaginable before. An icon despite himself, his passionate playing style reflected both his search for and flight from himself.

Ten years after his sudden death in Playa del Carmen (Mexico), C?sar Su?rez chronicles highlights from de Luc?a's life, using material never published before to explore the roots of his chronic dissatisfaction and sensitivity. Presenting: the fabulous Paco de Luc?a.
