No wonder why Paco runaway from all quinquilleros, just read the following interview:

(Paco de Lucia Newspaper - Interview )
http://www.rdiaz.org/rdmagazine48-08may14.html#specialsectionpaco5

Paco's most interesting comments are:

1) “I leave Spain because the atmosphere is unbreathable for me… The prejudices, the flamenco orthodox people, the tradition… I don’t like all that. I need fresh air. I need to work freely, without static purism that ties me up. The orthodox have messed with me non stop since I started to have success…”

2) “Here (in Spain) I’m always tense, thinking if I’m doing good or wrong, if I’m bothering someone, if I will have to beg forgiveness because I’m a successful person…”

3) “I want to work fulltime in jazz. I think that is a decisive musical movement and I’m interested in all that. My flamenco roots will never be lost but I have so much to see and learn regarding techniques, sound and rhythms.”

4) “The purists want me to play the same things as always. They want me to play obsolete music without experimentation or improvisation.”
