- Summary:
Paco de Lucía was born into a musical family. He grew up and became a famous guitarist, playing flamenco, jazz and other genres. This musician died on Wednesday, at the age of 66, in Mexico. He had been sick and died going to the hospital in Cancun. He was a special musician for a lot of Spanish people, for example Spain's minister of culture, José Ignacio Wert, who say he's a unique figure.
Moreover, he produced one of the most familiar tunes in Spain, "Entre Dos Aguas", it's a rumba. When he was a child, he already knew he wanted to be a professional guitarist and singer, and he won his first international flamenco competition when he was 14. He also played music with American people, and received some of the most important awards from Spain. Finally, in 2012 he won his second Latin Grammy Award for the best flamenco recording.
- Opinion:
I thought it would be interesting to know a little bit more about his life, I didn't know a lot about him, and today, his death has been a revolution on the Internet today, and I decided to write about it. It has to be a hard situation for his family, and, Malú, who was her niece, she's been always next to him and singing together, I've seen on the Internet she's really sad about this fact.
- Words I have learnt:
