His guitar playing was of a type never heard before – flamenco, yes, but with something quite new. Flamenco music is certainly integeral to his style but listening to him you can soon hear that he is trying to break several stylistic barriers. This film should not only introduce the star everyone reckons they are familiar with from concerts or recordings – the self-assured grandiose performer. Paco’s readiness to allow a highly personal film portrait of himself means that we can gain a background glimpse into the personality of this fascinating musician. This 60 minute documentary is based around an personal interview Paco de Lucia with archive footage of live performances.
