Wynton Marsalis and Paco de Lucia in Vitoria-Gasteiz

Posted on July 12th, 2006 in Review | 5

El Festival Internacional de Jazz de Vitoria ofreció ayer una imagen única y, probablemente, irrepetible: Paco de Lucía, a la guitarra, y Wynton Marsalis, a la trompeta, sobre el mismo escenario compartiendo y fusionando su arte ante un pabellón repleto de público. La escena se hizo esperar, pero no defraudó. Antes, Paco de Lucía subió al escenario y, en solitario, con la guitarra y sillas vacías a su alrededor, se reencontró con el público de Vitoria, el mismo con el que hace dos años compartió su recién otorgado Príncipe de Asturias de las Artes.

On Tuesday 11 July, the audience of Mendizorroza Sports Hall will witness a worldwide premiere, a unique meeting between two geniuses that has been eagerly desired for some time. The guitar of Paco de Lucía will host Wynton Marsalis’ trumpet, as a special guest.
It is an encounter between flamenco and jazz that is certain to offer some magic moments.
