The famous Spanish guitarist Paco de Lucia will perform at the Sava Center on February 12 within the Guitar Art Festival. The greatest flamenco artist of all time will start his world tour in Belgrade promoting his new album which will be released in very near future.

Paco de Lucia performed in Belgrade several times and the last concert was held two years ago. His concerts are always spectacular, so the forthcoming concert at the Sava Center will also be amazing for sure, since the legendary guitarist will perform with a big band and singers.

Paco did not even turn eighteen when he released his first album “Dos Guitarras Flamencas”. By 1968, he released two more albums and soon started collaboration with one of the greatest flamenco singers Camaron. Nine albums and modernization of flamenco expression with use of electric bass and percussions, with a brave addition of jazz elements, made the tandem a founder of “Nuevo Flamenco” stream which soon left the borders of Franco’s Spain. After the famous album “Entre dos Aguas” from 1975, Paco de Lucia became famous in the rest of Europe. In 1981 he won America after a huge success of his album “Friday Night in San Francisco” which he recorded with John McLaughlin and Al Di Meola. This album sold over six million copies!
