Paco De Lucía - Cositas buenas 2004 12 Éxitos para 2 Guitarras Flamencas 1965

Review by Jonathan Kawchuk

Paco De Lucía's album "Cositas buenas 2004 12 Éxitos para 2 Guitarras Flamencas 1965" is a masterpiece that showcases the virtuosity of the legendary flamenco guitarist. Released in 2004, the album features twelve tracks that highlight the beauty and complexity of flamenco music.

The album is a tribute to De Lucía's early years, specifically his 1965 album "Dos guitarras flamencas en stereo," which was recorded with his brother Ramón de Algeciras. In "Cositas buenas," De Lucía revisits some of the tracks from that album, but with a fresh and modern approach.

The album features De Lucía's signature flamenco style, which is characterized by intricate fingerpicking, lightning-fast runs, and emotional expressiveness. His playing is complemented by the second guitar, played by Antonio Sánchez, who adds depth and richness to the sound.

The tracks on the album are a mix of traditional flamenco styles, such as bulerías, tangos, and alegrías, as well as original compositions by De Lucía. Each track is a showcase of technical prowess and musicality, with De Lucía and Sánchez engaging in a lively and dynamic musical conversation.

Summary by Jonathan Kawchuk

"Cositas buenas" is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates flamenco music and guitar playing. It is a testament to De Lucía's talent and his enduring legacy as one of the greatest flamenco guitarists of all time.
