... Besides, someone like John Willians, in my opinion one of best classic guitar players wouldn´t perform with Paco Peña if he wasn´t an incredibly good player...
Pls don´t get me wrong... I don´t say he is not great, but just that when we say legend... we may be rather talking about ... Ramón Montoya, Sabicas, Niño Ricardo, Manuel Morao, Paco de Lucia, Manolo Sanlúcar, Moraito ... People that had such a big influence in the way of playing that the Flamenco guitar wouln´t be what it is today without their contribution to this art ...
In paralell there have been sagas that made heir particular evolution as it happened with Los Moraos in Jerez . The evolution would be 1 Manuel Morao 2 Moraito 3 Diego del Morao as 3 generations of 1 before 2 during and 3 after the revolution.
So my point is that Paco Peña should be compared with players as Manuel Morao, Paco Cepero, Juan Habichuela... Then alhtough being great guita player in mu humble opinion he is not achiving the same level as they do...
After the revolution the way of playing changed so much that players before that and afte that point can no be even compared. I don´t mean better or worse but different. Later "revolutions" has also taken place since 90s with the new generations ( Cañizares, Vicente Amigo ).
I think that Paul Magnusses and arrastro 1 are talking about different things that may no be opposite.
In my opinion, as someone brought up in flamenco family from Cadiz, Paco Peña is a good flamenco player, deep sound, clear "pulsacion", good composer in the variations of the old styles, solid rythm feeling... But he has kept his way of playing at the stage where some other guitar players of his generation started a revolution... ¨Serranito first later Manolo Salucar and Paco de Lucia
Paco Peña is a Legend, but not in Spain... Flamencos Audience is still stronger out of Spain than in Spain and no one knows how it can be possble... If you ask to the people in Spain about Paco Peña the 85% will answer... Who is him?

he's always played no-nonsense, perhaps non-amazing, but sound, expressive flamenco.
