Barcelona Guitar Trio & Dance: Paco de Lucía at the Palau

A tribute to Paco de Lucía within the "Maestros de la Guitarra Española y Flamenca" festival, in the hall that is the jewel of Catalan modernism. On stage, there are three guitarists of international renown: Alí Arango, Xavier Coll, and Luis Robisco, along with one of the most prominent flamenco dance couples in Spain, Carolina Morgado and José Manuel Álvarez. The percussion is by Lucas Balbo, and the sound is by Pepe Cervera, who was Paco de Lucía's technician: this fact explains why the concert sounds the way it does. The program blends Spanish and flamenco guitar with works by Manuel de Falla, Federico García Lorca, Chick Corea, and Paco de Lucía himself. The group has performed at the Seoul Arts Center, the Tel Aviv Opera, the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi, and at the United Nations headquarters in Paris, and regularly performs at the Palau de la Música in Barcelona. It is the highest-rated show by critics and audiences in the city. For those coming for the architecture, the Palau is reason enough on its own: experiencing it in use is different from visiting it empty. Full refund if canceled at least 24 hours in advance.
