Paco de Lucía Honoris Causa por la UCA

[GuitarMaster2410]

Se lo merece con creces y desde luego, el mayor premio es escucharle su música, su trabajo, su guitarra, toda la dimensión de su arte, que es enorme, y ese premio incomparable es el de todos los que somos sus seguidores.

For english speakers, more or less Paco de Lucia's speech.

My bad if any mistakes...

In the past years I have received prizes and recognitions that I have of course appreciated, they have pushed me forward. However when I learned that the UCA was going to award me I felt something different: I felt important.

[BenZyryab]

I am the antithesis of the common education, street boy, worker from birth, I feel grateful to this Institution for giving worth to my flamenco culture. This culture cannot be learned in books, but deserves worth as much as books.

I am an autodidact in the full range of the word. I went to school up until 9 years old. As a paradoxe, together with a complex for my lack of education I feel proud for being an autodidact, because it carries on effort and even purity. I find it beautiful.

[BenZyryab]

However sometimes I miss not having done more schooling, not having learned to learn.

With age coming opinions that matter to me are few. I guess because opinions that really tell me how I did in life are few. Applauses, critics, taps on the shoulder... all of this ends up been a buzz in the back - pleasant... or unpleasant - but without true significance.

Now only a few voices matter to me, the voices of my roots: my father’s, my mother’s or my people in Algeciras.

Thanks!

can someone shortly tell me what is paco talking about?

[larrysiffredi]

simply the best

[sgodet]

Qué hombre tan digno, tan sabio, tan íntegro. Su misma humildad y sencillez lo enaltece más allá de los oropeles y diplomas, e incluso más allá de su talento artístico extraordinario. Un maestro, un verdadero Doctor Honoris causa. Un ejemplo de vida y de arte a nivel mundial, y que será perenne como Cervantes o Quevedo. Lástima que no haya Nobel de Música, se lo tendría más que merecido.
