Paco Pena's recent concert was, as usual, an amazing experience. He played solo for quite awhile before any of the dancers appeared on stage and when they did it was electric. The passion and precision of Flamenco guitar and dance is like a fire that keeps burning! As the pic shows, they received a standing ovation and the smiles on the performer's faces said it all. They even clapped the audience. There was another guitarist who accompanied Paco, a drummer and a singer but it was impossible to find out who they were.
Paco Pana is 81 years old now, but he still has that magic when he plays. He takes you to another world and it's a shame we have to leave it. I'm sure many Melburnians are eagerly awaiting his return to the Melbourne Recital Centre.
