Program
Paco de Lucía was not only one of the greatest guitarists of all times. His approach to flamenco and way of putting it into practice played a decisive role in making this musical genre internationally known and in its fusion with other kinds of music, like jazz. With good reason, L’Auditori and Ciutat Flamenco therefore decided to organise Suite de Lucía, a concert and tribute to the virtuoso guitarist for which Joan Albert Amargós arranged some of Paco de Lucía’s best known themes. With his expertise as a musician and his in-depth knowledge of jazz and flamenco, Amargós explores de Lucía’s music, infusing it with marvellous musicality through his arrangements for big band. The concert, co-produced by Taller de Músics and the Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya, will be conducted by Amargós with the participation of teachers and students from both schools, joined by some of the artists who accompanied Lucía throughout his career, such as Carles Benavent and Antonio Serrano.
