Guitar legend Paco de Lucia's breathlessly brilliant playing mixes flurries of flamenco strumming with extraordinary flights of jazz improvisation that have made him a national hero in his native Spain and earns him a hero's welcome whenever he performs in London. He leads an equally impressive ensemble of Spanish musicians and dancers through a panoramic mix of traditional and modern music, giving a vivid slice of flamenco culture.
