Customer Reviews Great Guitar To Transport You to Latin America!!! What a perfect introduction to this most pleasing and energetic flamenco recording, which includes one of my favorite Mexican tunes, "Cielito Lindo!" Immediately upon returning from Mexico, I ordered three copies from Amazon. I first heard this recording a few years ago coming from speakers throughout a lovely home in the suburbs of Mexico City. com, one for myself and two for gifts. I have never been disappointed in my decision. I like a variety of styles of guitar music, which is reflected in some of my other reviews, and this has become a CD that I play frequently; sometimes just to listen the exquisite playing, and at other times for background music. Paco de Lucia is one of the greats in the flamenco world. This is one of his earlier recordings, taken from three albums done in the late '60s and early '70s with his brother Ramon De Algeciras. On a few selections the production values reflect the period (slight distortion or tuning problems), but these minor shortcomings are far overshadowed by the mastery of the musicians, and the sheer joy of music they play. I love the simplicity of this CD: two guitars and occasional bongos. It goes well with the overall theme of "Hispanoamerica" and the songs assembled here. If you want to get musically tranported to Latin America, this recording will surely do it. Highly recommended. Your ears will be pleased. (as expected) I grew up listening to these songs played by my parents' old "vinyl-spinners". This record contains hispano-american classics interpreted by Paco de Lucia. This record is instrumental, of course. Paco's guitar is very refreshing and light. Yet, crank that volume up a bit and his guitar will take you places! This CD will satisfy you in your quiet moods and your not-so quiet moods. Few artists can do that with the same song! My non hispanic friends, who were not familiar with the songs, also loved it. They always ask. . . "who's that on the player?". Your ears will be pleased. I am very happy with my purchase. PACO AT HIS BEST!.............A MUST OWN ! I love latin music and this is one of the best of my collection. . You can see a complete list of all Paco de Lucia discography, or go back to the Paco de Lucia tabs
