Spanish flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucía, born Francisco Sánchez Gómez in Algecerís who had been living in Cuba and Mexico for the last several years, died yesterday in a Cancún after a heart attack at the beach. He was 66.
Although always faithful to his flamenco roots, de Lucía’s long association with foreign artists, like Chick Correa, was influential in creating his” nuevo flamenco” sound.
