Paco de Lucia Receives an Honorary Degree from Berklee College of Music 2010

Spain's Paco de Lucia is one of the world's greatest guitarists. The Latin Grammy winner is the most innovative and influential flamenco artist of his generation. His recordings have had a revolutionary impact, bringing flamenco music worldwide attention. Born into a family of flamenco guitar players and singers in Algeciras, Spain, de Lucia adopted the Gypsy lifestyle associated with flamenco, where community, improvisation, and inspiration, rather then formal training, informed his playing. De Lucia recorded his first album in 1968, made his debut at Carnegie Hall in 1970, and has recorded more than 30 albums. He has collaborated with a range of artists, from Spanish masters to American jazz and pop stars, including Ricardo Modrego, Camaron de la Isla, Larry Coryell, Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, and Bryan Adams (on "Have You Ever Really Loved a Women"). He has defined his own influential sound by staying true to his flamenco roots while stretching his artistry by continuing to follow his inspirations.
