Richard Chapman and
Eric Clapton, authors of
Guitar: Music, History, Players, describe
Paco de Lucía as a "titanic figure in the world of flamenco guitar".
Atlanta magazine said of the flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucía, "The guitar, when used properly, can be one of the most haunting and beautiful instruments to create sound ... when he brushes his fingers across the strings, [he] can create some of the most incredible music. It's almost like a lullaby."
