La Junta de Andalucia and Fundacion Paco de Lucia present Paco de Lucia Legacy Festival.

Paco de Lucia Legacy Festival is a week-long flamenco event opening at Carnegie Hall on February 20. The festival is being held to commemorate the tenth anniversary of Paco de Lucia’s passing on February 25, 2014. Paco was a leading proponent of the new flamenco style and was one of the first flamenco guitarists to branch into classical and jazz. He was a pioneer and visionary of the music of his Andalucia.

Le Poisson Rouge will host some of the most significant flamenco artists from Andalucia, who performed with Paco de Lucia.

First set: De Cerca with performers Josemi Carmona, Javier Colina y Piraña + guest singer Silvia Pérez Cruz. Josemi Carmona and Javier Colina sign together a musical conversation, with deep flamenco echoes and their unique jazz swing, a natural dialogue blending different musical languages.

Second set: 10 de Paco with performers Jorge Pardo, Chano Domínguez, Javier Colina y Tino di Geraldo + guest bailaor “Farru”. Pardo and Dominguez on their vibrant tribute to the genius of Paco de Lucía. The two have taken on the difficult proposition of reinterpreting–without guitar–”ten of Paco’s” best-known melodies. Although the piano/sax pairing is unusual, Pardo and Domínguez possess the musicianship and “duende” to make “10 de Paco” a landmark in the flamenco/jazz innovation.
