Paco de Lucía (b. December 21, 1947) is an internationally recognized Spanish flamenco guitarist, and leading proponent of the New Flamenco style. He is the son of flamenco guitarist Antonio Sánchez, and brother of flamenco singer Pepe de Lucía and flamenco guitarist Ramón de Algeciras. Not only does he dominate in flamenco, he is one of the very few flamenco guitarists who is also talented in other genres of music, e.g. jazz, classical, and world music. Many think that Paco fluently goes into these territories and plays like no other, whereas some purists of these other genres will state that he is just making a venture and is still a flamenco player at heart, lacking the pure jazz style. He is the winner of 2004 Prince of Asturias Awards in Arts.

Love him. I love entre dos aguas particularly, the guitar was played in a seductive manner, i really really love it. It reminds me an early morning sunrise on the beach or a late attractive sunset by the beach, its so good. All of his compositions are played so well. I think he's a great spanish guitarist.
