I have heard hundreds, but to me this is the PUREST version of Malaguena I have ever heard. Everything about it....the smokey cafe, the women...everything is so perfect!
First thing i got to learn on a spanish. It being my first too. José Feliciano's black&white with the fancy but thurough 1-Hand segment first version to see done Live. Has to me too, been Infinitely Untouchable. Then this guy showed up.. *one of those schmuck-moments where you actually scratch your head and briefly doubt your sanity in full compliance.
In my lifetime I have heard all the great Flamenco artists including the famous Carlos Montoya, all the members of the Romaros family and all the current popular Flamenco guitarists. Sabicas will always be my favorite. In his lifetime there was none better. The smoothness of delivery and the technical ability was and will forever be the very best. He played with magnificently trained fingers and with his heart. His music and style has been copied by all the greats today.
@@dreia2405 Is Lil Wayne any good? Don't be asking stupid questions- we all Paco De Lucia is a noob and Lil Wayne, well he's a phenomenal virtuosic atrocity.
Paco DeLucia was probably the greatest guitar player ever and Sabicas was one of his mentors who encouraged him to go beyond the classical Flamenco style.
Sabicas is EASILY better than paco lol, I’ve seen Paco live before he died and believe me, sabicas made the guitar sound like something no one has heard before. There’s “playing the guitar” ya know toca la guitarra but Sabicas was one was the music . He had the song in him, plus the technical skill. Paco is a technician but you can’t place him with sabicas or Narciso yepes, specially if you know what theory and methods they introduced to guitarist as a whole. Learn classical guitar pedagogy first, then make assessments… if you don’t play, you can’t understand the music.
@@cmat45Sabicas doesn't stay near Paco. Paco was excellent in any aspect be it speed, technique, clean sound of every note, or the genius idea of composed music, he actually diversified the flamenco made it much richer, and many genres you hear today like tarantas, minera, bulerias etc are exist because of him. Yes Sabicas deserves any credit as well because he was the beginning, but it doesn't matter how was the start more important what happens at the finish. We once had a wooden wheel, now we defined it and made it a modern tire
In my opinion, one of the greatest flamenco guitarist's. With such spirit and passion exposed through the music, who can deny the true art this man provided.
This is without a doubt the best malagueña. Technically. Musically. Such a graceful guitar player. Sad that these legends aren’t alive still but the clock never stops ticking.
Mesmerising. If you didn't see it, you'd hardly believe it what you were hearing. Even seeing his playing is so fluid it's beyond belief. I don't like comparing individual players, but Sabicas' technique is something else entirely.
complete mastery. all class. greatest flamenco guitarist to ever live. yet he gets overshadowed by many others (cough paco cough). many have incredible talent and technique but no one will ever come close to the grace sabicas exuded when he touched a guitar.
I've never, seen such a display of right hand techniques done to over perfection, It's a great video, It really humbles to those striving to become Flamenco Guitarists, and provides insight and inspiration to pass on the Flamenco Tradition,
Filmed rarely for the spanish TV. Sabicas is the Jimi Hendrix and then some of the flamenco guitar. One could argue that Paco de Lucía was better at technique, but given the opposition that Sabicas was given (operating from the Bronx, New York) he was very captivating, to say the least. He filled up a Madison Square Garden. I could listen to his Malagueña 24 hours a day.
Juan Espinosa I disagree that P d L was better at technique. He looks like he’s straining to play when he plays fast and Sabicas looks totally effortless and plays a lot smoother. Just my opinion.
True Flamenco by the great Master Sabicas. I love the story of him smashing his guitar onstage at Carnegie Hall when one of the male dancers came out stamping away during Sabicas' big solo. Anyone else have more details about that ? Such a legendary meltdown...from such a Maestro!
When I first heard Sabicas I was stunned into silence! I stopped playing my guitar for two years of just listening to Flamenco in general, trying to understand it. Pretty rad for a Led Zep fan!
For those who don't know Paco followed Sabicas. Watch a documentary on Paco de Lucia and listen to what he has to say about his maestro Sabicas. Thanks to him, Paco branched out and formed a style of his own for a new generation, but not until later. Paco also discusses other great's who influenced him. Well worth watching a documentary on Paco. Nothing but respect for all those who came before him. Ground breakers since Paco,...hmmmm? Great players, but... innovators? We'll see... ?
Eso lo sabemos todos los que nos.gusta el flamenco. Y sino que vean la búsqueda de paco de lucía (francisco Sánchez gomez), por cierto, yo he tenido la suerte de haber bailado algunas piezas de ambos.... sabicas lo consideró su discípulo, y paco de lucía lo admiraba por igual, el maestro . pensaba que era el mejor de todos, pero mejorando lo presente el mejor paco de lucía.
This is the first time I've listened to Sabicas, and I am hearing where other players like Chet and Ben Woods got their ideas from. There's specific parts that were lifted from Sabicas.
Sabicas es un fenomeno de la guitarra flamenca! il est au flamenco ce que Andres Segovia est a la guitare classique... deux geants de la guitare en somme! A.Fernandez
Si camarón hubiese nacido en su época y hubiesen estado juntos el flamenco se contaría desde otro barco. Nadie puede cambiar ni el momento ni las circunstancias
Brian May: "Hold my beer" B.B. King: "Nah, hold mine" Jimmy Hendrix: "Hold my spliff" Eddie van Halen: "What?" Eric Clapton: "OK, let's have a session" Steve Vai: "I'm in" and so on.. There is no such thing as the best guitarist.
Malaguena's music will remain the sad voice coming from the depths of tortured hearts, then it will continue to scream in order to declare its wounds over the years that it will continue to receive the pain of wounds and forever....🌍
This is fantastic..✨From what I recently researched on line,,, this song was originally composed on piano,,in a suite composed by Cuban composer Ernesto Lecuona,, in his suite Andalucía, in 1933.. Sabicas, sometime in the 1940s -50s?, adapted and arranged it in his own way, for the classical guitar.🐦
@@ernestourra6253 Ernesto Lecuona se inspiro de “Souvenirs d' Andalousie” una composición de Louis Moreau Gottschalk. Hay que ver si este compositor estadounidense se basó en la música popular española como referencia.
Sabicas is my Favorite Flamenco Guitar Player and his version of Malaguena is the significant version of all-time! I play this Songs in various versions as well.
a true master never stops perfecting his craft . here i believe sabicas is around 60 years old . if you go see his other video " malaguena with 2 encores " he`s probably well into his 70`s and plays a much improved version of malaguena.
+Jonathan Larkin Even the greatest masters suffer from again, unfortunately. I haven't seen the other videos, but I'm just saying, I've seen many great violinists' and pianists' skills deteriorate.
Qué bella y nostálgica es la malagueña. Una gozada escuchar estos aires de mi tierra en tan prodigiosas manos. Gracias Juan por compartir, Saludos Carmen
Sabicas fut le maitre de paco cela se ressent beaucoup.paco savait jouer du sabicas mais ce dernier ne savait pas jouer du paco.2 grands genies et l eleve a depasse le maitre💕💕
The Malagina are the constant torments of the wounds since they occurred and will continue to resound in the world of music at the hands of flamenco players through time, and their tears will shed ceaselessly.🌍
What I find interesting here is how soft and subtle some of Maestro Sabicas' techniques are. Totally different to the "rough" sound that you often here with flamenco guitar. I really enjoyed this video!
Its an "artificial harmonic", it is done by holding your index finger directly over the fret (barely touching the string) and using your thumb to pluck the string. Artificial harmonics are used to make harmonics other than the common 5th, 7th and 12th fret harmonics. Whatever note you are holding, simply pluck the fret 6 whole steps from the point of origin. Hope this helps!

Desde Cuba 🇨🇺❤️
By far far far most magical and perfect version of this song.
MAESTRO DE MAESTROS , UN GRANDE , SABICAS!!!
I have heard Sabicas music for a long time and enjoy his music a lot. As well as Carlos Montoya’s.
Here comes the maestro where sentimentality and emotion is the essence of Malagunia coming from a traditional spanish guitar.
Y remember this great guitar player....It was in the 1950's he had a great season in Habana,Cuba.
Ole Maestro Sabicas. Er mas gueno de tos.. Ese arte !!!
Oir a este maestro de maestros con esta interpretación, produce una sensación de espíritu difícil de describir.
Sabacas & Montoya are both closes to my love of Flamnco music.
I've never, seen such a display of right hand techniques done to over perfection, It's a great video, It really humbles to those striving to become Flamenco Guitarists, and provides insight and inspiration to pass on the Flamenco Tradition,

@@Unidentified_Jr_007 Perhaps you're right
Sabicas was in the league of old masters. Poca was a generation lattar. Comparison with Hendrix is odd.
Comparing drug laden Hendrix as for his audience to Sabicas would be an insult to the master.
Hendrix is trash compared to sabicas or paco
really...the maestro ,,,,,no one could play on guitar as he did
This guy is the God of guitar playing, absolutely, no one even close to him.
