Not like his early recordings, which centred on classic guitar toques as played in concert.

On Siroco, he abandons for the moment the sound of The Sextet to mark out in eight pieces the new vanguard of Flamenco creation.

The sirocco is a Saharan wind that lulls and fascinates, which is precisely how you end up after a first listen to this record.

There are eight or nine toques for the next album, I play them solo, with a group and I back myself with a second guitar.

With Siroco he took a giant step in terms of the parameters of Flamenco music: rhythmic, melodic, harmonic or formal; situating himself forever at the height of one of the great authors and interpreters of Spanish music in the 20th century.

As Paco Sevilla said in his book: The music is modern and the energy is old.

After a few years dedicated to world tours with The Sextet, with this album Paco returns to the guitar, composing authentic works of art.

As Felix Grande has noted in his commentaries: Flamenco has never sounded like it does here.
