Flamenco guitarist Paco Heredia débuts with the album
‘El niño de la bella sonrisa’. The Barcelona-born
musician is accompanied in this recording by Juan José Suárez
‘Paquete’, who contributes the production, studio, second
guitars, mandolas, percussions and even vocals. Also highlighting
the lineup of artists are the collaborations by cantaores
Guadiana
and Montse
Cortés. The repertoire essentially includes rhythmic
styles such as bulerías. Precisely two of them are dedicated
respectively to Tomatito (‘Tomateando’) and to Paco
de Lucía (‘Maestro Paco’). He also performs tangos,
a rumba with a latin air, a soleá and a rondeña entitled
‘Gloria a los Torres’, among other pieces. Paco Heredia
has gained experience on stages accompanying cantaores such as Duquende
and Ramón el Portugués, a facet he has combined with
that of teaching guitar.
