Paco Peña - Rondeñas

[ikuvic]

ME ENCANTA PACO PEÑA, ME ESTOY AFICIONANDO MUCHO A SU MUSICA. LO QUE NO ENTIENDO ES COMO HA PASADO POR DESAPERCIBIDO. Y ES MUY BUENO.

[stu2611]

If ever there was a musician at one with his instrument....

[achiguitar]

4 sick people voted dislike to this master of guitar

[jimrankenberg]

Wow, I havent seen this since it was shown in danish TV in 1978. I was 14 and completely stunned. It made me start play guitar, though I never leaned to play flamenco. Its still a wonderful gem.

[7antoosah]

Top of sensation

[CALZOLA]

Rondenas : majestic ,light and however so sad style !

[VMGIAN]

beautifull.....

[FlamencoDeLaHistoria]

QUE GRANDE ES EL FLAMENCO!!!!!! OLÉÉÉÉ´´E

[themosmitsos]

like water :DDDDDDD

can someone please tell me what "Rondenas" means? thx

[TomasJimenezGuitar]

@themosmitsos yes, Rondeñas with s at end is a kind of almost folk/flamenco style from Ronda and is a little similar to fandangos but this piece here is Rondeña and it is profoundly flamenco and dark and more similar to the mining lament called Tarantas

[marespand]

i have a new found respect for acoustic. an this is normally coming from a metal head who only plays with a pick an distortion always on.......... but this was just beautiful

[KnightofZyryab]

I have never seen Paco play very sadly, and i'm hoping he will appear in London some time, one of the greatest flamenco players of all time.

[TomasJimenezGuitar]

@KnightofZyryab hi Paco Peña plays in Britain very frequently either with his company or in solo and yes I agree he is great.

[KnightofZyryab]

@TomasJimenezGuitar Actually not long after I said that, I saw Paco play his stunning new tour Flamenco sin Fronteras ! If you get the chance, do not miss the opportunity to see Paco weave Spanish and Latin American music in a spectacular way.

[williamperry11]

That is a good guitar for his playing style. Since it's an unusual wood for traditional flamenco(cypress, sycamore) it produces distinct sweet warm tone, complementary to his playing..

[gabriellastar88]

Este cancion es pura magica....inspira la imaginacion

[gabriellastar88]

This man's music makes me want to live life to its fullest! I wish to play like this!

[Alceste1977]

A wonderful marriage of exquisite technique and simmering emotion.

[TomasJimenezGuitar]

@Alceste1977 I completely agreee..it is the emotion driving the technique that is so touching.

[lagatuda]

A master - brings tears...

[ATSEFKO]

such talent..no one such as jimi hendrix or anyone like him could ever reach. they are ok..but at their own level..unlike paco pena or paco de lucia

[NinoMig]

I think it is not about a level, but a different discipline,

que bueno Paco Pena!

[Kanselmi88]

yep flamenco is da most technique shiat out there :D

[3ifreet]

What a GREAT peace!!

[VickyBuffaloBill]

Beautiful! I could watch that and eating a good dinner during it's playing!

[MelasChupa]

Cuales son las cinco caras de la guitarra?

[ElForastero12]

a pesar de todo a mi me encanta paco peña, tiene una tecnica muy buena, y aún no he conseguid material de el.

[ElForastero12]

no es involucion, lo de paco de lucia es algo nuevo, es una combinacion de generos, es natural que sea criticado al querer modificar lal expresiones culturales y yo no lo voy a juzgar por que no pertenezco a la cultura flamenca, es solo una opinion, porque en todas partes del mundo suceden este tipo de conflictos entre los que mantienen sus raices y los que habren su mente a nuevo sonidos, en definitiva las sociedades van cambiando por eso el gran exito de paco de lucia.

[mentevisualizadora]

tiene mucha influencia de Sabicas... y por ahi hay que tomar mucho camino a seguir, no hay que perder ese toque magistral... esa corriente hermosa.

Saludos.

[5andyVee]

Does anyone know where I can get tabs for this?

Alguna persona sabe donde se puede buscar tab para esta cancion?

[Clicephas]

I read that rondenas are derived from fandango. Anyone here can tell me what defines a rondenas?

Many thaNX (great performance by PP)

[deteresaFlamenco]

Basically it's the tuning - D A D F# B E

[Clicephas]

Gracias!!!

[rollingstoner17]

The way guitars were meant to be used...

[mentevisualizadora]

Paco Peña es el guitarrista mas puro y mas genial que he escuchado...

Si de Paco hablamos simplemente es Paco, Paco Peña... el mejor guitarrista de flamenco de hoy en dia, el más puro el más maestro.

Saludos.

[Artflamenco]

Joooooooder. Viva Paco Peña, pero desde luego, te hace falta un curso de Flamenco... todos tus comentarios son desprestigiando a Paco de Lucía. ¿eres andaluz?

[mentevisualizadora]

ole tio, paco de lucia ha modificao musha cosas, el flamenco puro en vez de evolucionar dentro de sí mismo ha involucionao con paco, bueno asi lo llamo yo, tal vez el flamenco-bossa.jazz de paco sea mas lindo para mushos pero eso ya no es flamenco, la esencia pura trae otros vestidos que no le pertenecen.

El flamenco puede evolucionar dentro de sí mismo y conservar su pureza tal y como el maestro Segovia lo decía.

Saludos.

[mentevisualizadora]

aclaro::: " el flamenco ha involucionao con paco de lucia"...

Paco Peña es otra cosa, es mas puro, conserva esa esencia innata del verdadero duende flamenco. Lastima que no sea tan famoso como paco de lucia.

[Artflamenco]

Paco con Bossa.... mmmm interesante. Tiene que estar bien

[biscuit0luver]

Now that, is a thumbnail!!

[Benboswell57]

This man makes others put down the instrument in awe.

[perromanchado]

Yessss!!!

[sludgefingers]

Fantastic.

[jayhoc718]

I bow to you. You are my masster.

[abella33]

Admirable Paco Peña, que estilo, que musicalidad, muy bueno, felicitaciones.

[jjleonard1]

I discovered Paco Pena here on YouTube 1 or 2 years ago. He has changed me. I listen to all of these gems over and over again. He is a Living Treasure. All of the Masters are just that, masters. For me, Paco is my favorite by far.

[thedopemaster]

@jjleonard1: I share exactly the same experience and feeling

[CALZOLA]

Rondena ! Proud and majestic style !

[1gregmichael]

incredible. so dark and ambient.

[raeesad]

He plays from his soul, He is so in sync with his instrumne, completely.... Bravo!!!

[edgm08]

Another thing i've noticed about paco pena is that he holds himself very firmly and pays very close attention to his technique unlike other guitarist that make facial expressions and act more like i'm here playing.

[edgm08]

The reason he doesn't compose as much as other guitarist is because he likes to keep the art genuine, just take a look at his posture he still plays like the very first guitarist that started the flamenco music.

Viva the king of the flamenco guitar Paco Pena!

[edgm08]

His sound it's the best sound out of all the guitarists. He is the best no doubt!, the only thing is that he doesn't compose as much as other guitarist do.

[supereby]

^^ nice sound!

[miamormeama]

Oh mi dios este hombre es amazing.I encanta la forma en que juega la música, es realmente maravilloso..viva paco peña :)

[TomLeFin]

Quite simply fantastic. The nail in his right thumb makes me shudder.

[PaulMagnussen]

Sorry, that tuning should have been DADF#BE.

PM

[TomasJimenezGuitar]

By the way Paul Magnussen it is good to se you have time to make the helpful information here. I have not seen your name around since the old George Clinton/ Guitar International/ Spanish Guitar Centre (Leicester Sq) days so good to see you are still very much active in flamenco.

[PaulMagnussen]

squirrelmaster89, NinoMig, elverdaderojavier & megabopp:

The Rondeña is indeed considered Flamenco, and the form it's played in today was invented by Ramón Montoya (d. 1949), and recorded by him in 1936.  The distinctive tuning (DADF#AD) was also invented by Montoya. All other versions, including Sabicas's, Paco Peña's and Lucía's, derive from Montoya.

Montoya's definitive version is still available on CD.

Paul Magnussen

(Flamenco correspondent, Classical Guitar magazine)

[elverdaderojavier]

Paul,

You misunderstood my comment. Of course the Rondeña is flamenco. I was only referring to the part from about 3:46 to about 4:10. That phrase is three or four hundred years old and comes from traditional, non-flamenco, Spanish chamber music. It was transcribed by García Lorca in the early 1900s and recorded by Paco de Lucía in the '60s.

[sanchexalex]

This a real musician, I have never heard of him, it is so awesome to hear such beautiful music from such artists, thanx to whoever gave me this link.

[squirrelmaster89]

sounds like paco's rondena at 3:50 on ( de Lucia I mean)

[NinoMig]

you are right, but in my opinion neither of them

created the pattern, it may be traditional

[elverdaderojavier]

It is traditional Spanish and not flamenco. You can hear it on Paco de Lucía's "12 Canciones de García Lorca."

[elverdaderojavier]

(I'm referring only to the part at 3:50.)

[Y2H]

Which piece?

[CALZOLA]

Proud ,,majestuous and mysterious Rondena !

[megabopp]

Extreemly well played ,but definitely Sabicas material.

[flemencojames]

paco pena is god!

[TomasJimenezGuitar]

I think I agree with you. When people compliment me in my concerts on my music I say yes thank you but it is not mine it is of Paco Peña.

Saludos

Tomás Jiménez

[flemencojames]

Hi tomas i totaly agree with you. Paco pena changed the way i look at flemenco. just think his playing is rather special.

[wowiezowie33]

bings me to tears every time, eso es Paco.

[pantok07]

Good solid player of the Ramon Montoya school{ a la Sabicas } OLE!

[aleamb]

Paco Peña es muy importante en el mundo del flamenco. Sus aportaciones han sido crear una carrera de guitarra flamenca en el conservatorio de Rotterdam, su famosa misa flamenca, crear el festival internacional de guitarra flamenca de Córdoba y popularizar el flamenco más tradicional fuera de las fronteras españolas. Por otra parte, creo que sobra decir que su calidad como guitarrista queda fuera de toda duda.

[SonsOfGod]

Soy aficonado al flamenco y por lo tanto tengo derecho a opinar, o acaso ¿hay que ser cantante para saber si Enrique Iglesias es buen cantante? Pues no, Enrique es una mierda de cantante y no porque yo no sea cantante me lo tengo que callar. Paco Peña tendría más futuro

como constructor de guitarra porque talento para determinar si una guitarra está bien construida, eso sí que tiene.

[taekwondoinstructor]

oye eso es muy buena idea....pero costarian un huevo tio...pero si para los virtuosos de hoy y manana

[xavacs]

alt + 164 = ñ

alt + 165 = Ñ

[paulyg4]

I think my favourite thing about paco pena is that he is not an arrogant player. He feels his music as he should and does not make it seem like it's the hardest thing anyone has ever done.

[SonsOfGod]

Paco Pena, que pena de guitarrista. Perdonen, mi teclado no lleva enye ((-::

[pj232pj]

pena somos nosotros todo el dia con el you tube. ñ = numlk - alt 0241. learn something new every day don't you. saludos

[SonsOfGod]

No, hombre, mi teclado si que lleva ñ, y tanto que la lleva. Lo que quiero decir es que este, por llamarlo de alguna manera, Señor, es un "tocador" de la era jurásica del flamenco que mantiene posturas estilísticas y manerismos arcáicos dignos de un Conde de la Órden de la Cabezonería, vamos que ni el burro de Mijas le gana.

[xavacs]

A la antigua quieres decir? Como sea, Paco es una verdadera PEÑA de guitarrista. Lo eres tu? Por que no pones tu video a ver si lo haces mejor que el?

[kriz440]

Wow...how come I didnt know this guy? hes out of this world

[SonsOfGod]

Este hombre vive en Holanda o en Inglaterra????

[pj232pj]

vive entre londres y cordoba , sigue dando clases en el conservatorio de rotterdam(holanda) desde 1985,

[osuna35]

Ole!!! Paco! Magnifico. si siente en el alma. Niño Antonio.

[EllisSol]

Legend

[tahirs]

Very clear sound as he plays classical guitar. For me he is the best!!

[aleamb]

more "duende" than "la cueva del gato"

[fetzcou]

Bellissimoooooooo!! thanks 4 posting

[Shevaron]

I haven't heard pulloff runs that good since I last heard a old Carlos Montoya record of mine

[plainain]

Captivating!

[Trance4LifeVe]

^No comments.. GOD GUITAR MASTER -

[Thomkath]

Gran tocador es Paco Peña, mucha práctica y disciplina se reflejan en su toque, incluso en su siempre bien cuidada postura para tomar la guitarra.

[wladimirlenin]

My favorite flamenco players are Sabicas, Paco Peña and Tomatito.

[RenanTavora]

maestro!

thank you very much for this video

god bless you and paco peña.

=)

[spicyone]

thanks alot, again.

[mcbaldan]

Among all the flamenco guitarists I have got to know and listen to over youtube, Paco Pena has musically impressed me the most.

[Vicky15vic]

Yes me too. He plays phenomenally well and he plays real flamenco---my favorite of all.

[golffool]

Thank you so very much for posting these great clips...

I have been listening to this and the Tientos Bahia on one of his older albums...

[tmjcbs]

It is widely considered that Ramon Montoya invented this beautiful and sombre piece, and this is Paco's tribute to that great artist. For the Rondeña the tuning of the guitar is changed, the sixth string being tuned down a tone to D and the third a semi-tone to F sharp.

[Vicky15vic]

Did you post this? Paco Peña is the maestro for me. If for any reason this can't continue here I would pay to get this--as much as I possibly could because this for me is massively important.

[pcoldham]

@tmjcbs Aha, I love that tuning - can be found in Elliott Smith's 'Clementine' as well - lovely open chord - very flamenco I always thought, now proved right
