Overview

2024: AÑO PACO DE LUCÍA

La biografía más personal y original de uno de los grandes genios de la música española de todos los tiempos.

«César Suárez tiene el don de la amenidad para reflejar el carácter atormentado de Paco, su angustiosa búsqueda de una perfección que no existe, como le pasó a Ícaro o a los constructores de la Torre de Babel. Su lectura me enganchó desde el primer momento». — Luis Landero, Premio Nacional de las Letras Españolas 2022

Su guitarra, decía su amigo Manolo Sanlúcar, «encanta al que no sabe y vuelve loco al que sabe». Su compleja personalidad le convirtió en un genio admirado en todo el mundo, pero también en un hombre angustiado y lleno de dudas. ¿Qué hay tras la mirada enigmática del mejor músico ­flamenco de la historia?
 
Paco de Lucía aprendió a tocar la guitarra en casa gracias a su padre, que elaboró un ambicioso plan al estilo del que Leopold Mozart llevó a cabo con su hijo. Pronto se convirtió en un virtuoso que superó a todos sus maestros e hizo su primera gira mundial con solo catorce años. Formó una pareja mítica con el cantaor Camarón de la Isla y expandió los límites del ­flamenco hacia lugares inimaginables. Ídolo a su pesar, en la furia de su toque está a la vez la búsqueda y la huida de sí mismo.
 
Cuando se cumplen diez años de su inesperada muerte en Playa del Carmen (México), César Suárez recorre en El enigma Paco de Lucía los principales sucesos de su vida con un enfoque narrativo, aportando material inédito y profundizando en las razones de su permanente insatisfacción y su extrema sensibilidad. Con ustedes, el fabuloso Paco de Lucía.
 

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"His guitar," Paco Lucia's friend Manolo Sanlúcar 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 Lucía 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 Camarón 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), César Suárez chronicles highlights from de Lucía’s life, using material never published before to explore the roots of his chronic dissatisfaction and sensitivity. Presenting: the fabulous Paco de Lucía.
