He died in Mexico from a heart attack. He was so young. He is maybe the best guitarist of the world.

Here in the movie "Flamenco"' from the director Carlos Saura.

Just read that on the news.

Sad to hear, he was my favourite guitarist.

I was actually listening to one of his songs just last night, Entre dos Aguas, a true masterpiece.

Very said to hear. He was the master of Flamenco music. Love his music.
 
Some opinions of great guitarists about him:

Mark Knopfler said "Seeing him I understood that I do not know how to play the guitar."


Keith Richards said: "You say I'm a guitar legend. You have no idea. There are only two or three guitarists who can be considered legends. And above all is Paco de Lucía."


George Benson said "The greatest guitar player in the world today for me is Paco de Lucía, who is actually Spanish".

He is amazing! I didn't realize he was so young. May he rest in peace. He will be missed.

this is from another great movie of his, "Carmen":

That is a huge loss, he was a virtuous guitarist with such an outstanding spirit. The kind of man you´ll never forget once you´ve met with him, say those who knew him. Yesterday I watched a documentary about his life that lasted 1 hour and 40 min. and it caught my attention when he said that his greatest discovery was that safardi music was at the chore of flamenco and that from there on he started studying safardi music, and regarded it as a reminiscent form of he purest musical sound for the rest of his life.

I wasn´t able to upload the link of this documental here, but you´ll find doing some little search under "La noche temática de la 2-Paco de Lucía". Sorry, it´s only in Spanish.
