Paco de Lucía after Camarón
When that perfect duo that formed De Lucía and Camarón ended (with comings and goings), Paco could concentrate on that fusion of jazz and flamenco that he had been exploring for some time.
From 1977 onwards, he came into contact with the guitarists Al di Meola, John Mc Laughlin, and Larry Coryell and, later, in 1982, with the jazz pianist and composer Chick Corea, continuing his tendency to approach other pieces of music, which not only enriched his gift, but also had a decisive influence on later flamenco.
In 1978, accompanying the group Dolores, he recorded an album dedicated to Manuel de Falla, which was very important.
In 1986, he formed a trio with J.M. Bandera and J.M. Cañizares, with whom he recorded the album Siroco (1987). In 1990, he released Zyryab with his sextet and Chick Corea.
In short, events that provided the perfect backdrop for their performances at the Montreux Jazz Festival. The complete biography of Paco de Lucía is also in ALL FLAMENCO.
