There are concerts that remain forever etched in the memory. Those who had the chance to attend, this Sunday evening, the show by Paco De Lucia, a living legend of flamenco, will remember it for the rest of their lives.
The appearance of the most universal of flamenco artists at the Bab Al Makina site will be inscribed in golden letters in the register of the Festival of World Sacred Music, which celebrates, during this 19th edition, Andalusian culture. And who better than one of the greatest and most charismatic guitarists in the world to represent this civilisation.
But tonight, belonging to one culture or another, to this region or that, literally disappeared, leaving the stage to the universal, to the quest for passion and freedom.
No time for introductions. A sustained standing ovation to welcome the master and let the show begin! The few minutes during which he played solo, he managed to give the full measure of his stature. His sage posture, his presence, his energy that has not weakened under the blows of age, his charisma are enough to conquer the heart and soul of the public. He then chained the pieces, new and old, with the same legendary instrumental technique, which transcends flamenco itself to go and soar in other universes and musical genres.
At times, one wonders how all this sensitivity, this harmony and this magic can spring from the six strings of his guitar, how one can reach such a level of mastery and perfection.
As the minutes tick by, an avalanche of fast and sharp notes fall one after the other, jostling in the ear, a river of musicalities and rhythms, sometimes soft, sometimes resounding, sometimes cheerful, sometimes sad, carries everything in its path.
