Music.Paco de Lucía, between two loves
Sagas.Curro, the son of Paco de Lucía, brings the intimacy of his cousin Malú to the cinema
When a
Spanish guitar
plays,
the virtuous fingers of Andrés Segovia, Peret, Carlos Montoya or Paco de Lucía come to mind.
The latter is the protagonist of the new edition of
Blood Ties
.
When he started playing at the age of seven, he was not aware that he would become a
genius who would internationalize flamenco
.
The Algerian
died at the age of 66 of a heart attack
on February 25, 2014 in Playa del Carmen (Cancun)
while playing soccer on the beach with his
7-year-old
son Diego
.
When his name was already predestined to be one of the greatest in the history of music, he starred in a
Romeo and Juliet
made in Spain
when on January 27, 1977
he married Casilda Varela Ampuero in Amsterdam
.
The link was sneakily because her mother was against it.
Of course, no family member attended the link.
He was a commoner, poor and anti-fascist
and
she descended from a multimillionaire family of the Basque gentry
.
Without going any further, Casilda was the
daughter of Franco's Lieutenant General José Enrique Varela
-I Marquis of Varela de San Fernando granted by Franco- who participated in the coup against the Second Republic that caused the Civil War and, later, the establishment of a totalitarian regime.
His mother was
Casilda Ampuero Gandarias
, a descendant of a
wealthy Biscayan family
that founded the
Altos Hornos de Vizcaya, they
were linked to Banco Urquijo and Bilbao-Vizcaya, they owned the newspaper
Nervión
, they had shares in the Portland cement company and the luxurious Hispano- Switzerland and participated in the
construction of the railway in the Basque Country
, among other achievements.
In addition, she was the
granddaughter of José María Ampuero
, mayor of Durango.
Paco and Casilda settled in a large house in the prestigious area of Mirasierra, in Madrid.
The children did not take long to arrive:
Casilda (1978), Lucía (1979) and Curro (1983).
All three are extremely discreet, simple and have cared for their father's inheritance with great affection.
Little by little, Paco was reluctantly winning the
affection of his mother-in-law
and, from time to time, they
spent the summer and Christmas holidays
in the family palace of
Etze Zuria
(Durango, Vizcaya).
His first wedding, with Casilda Varela, in Amsterdam.
After his separation from Casilda
and Camarón's death in 1992,
he bought a house in Playa del Carmen (Cancun, Mexico)
to disconnect.
In the Aztec country, he fell in love with
Gabriela Canseco
, an art restorer 22 years younger than him with whom
he married civilly and had two children
, Antonia (2001) and Diego (2007).
With his second family they lived in a
splendid palace house in Toledo
and bought a 40,000 square meter estate full of olive trees in Mallorca for almost 600,000 euros in the 90s. On the island of calm he also created his own private paradise to escape the madding crowd and try your luck in
oil production.
But he failed in that attempt.
His second marriage gave him much more peace of mind, he enjoyed fatherhood, simple things and nature.
The
cultural legacy of Paco de Lucía
, the artist Malú's uncle, is masterful.
After
meeting the great Camarón of the island
on a farm owned by the Domecq family, the chemistry between the payo and the gypsy emerged instantly.
Between 1969 and 1977 they released 9 albums, among whose best-known songs are Entre dos aguas and Esa gitana morena.
Paco loves challenges and seducing with other rhythms such as jazz,
bossa nova
,
blues
or pop rock.
Anthological were his
collaborations with great legends such as Carlos Santana, Bryan Adams or Chick Corea.
Nor should we forget how
The Aranjuez concert
or
Río wide played
.
By the way, she participated in the soundtrack of
Vicky Cristina Barcelona
by Woody Allen with the theme Between two waters, a film that earned Penélope Cruz the Oscar for best actress.
This universal guitarist who died too soon recorded 37 albums and obtained the most prestigious awards and recognitions such as the
Prince of Asturias Award for the Arts
, two Grammys, the Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts and the Universal Guitarist Award from the Cortes.
