yes indeed - - HAIL , HAIL SABICAS FOREVERMORE !

Sabicas was the best pure flamenco guitarist, in my opinion. Now that he is gone, Paco Peño has done an incredible job of carrying on the tradition.

El más grande en el flamenco puro. Destreza y virtuosismo innato.

España te amo 🇪🇸♥️ Desde Cuba 🇨🇺❤️

Never has a heavy hand. Each note is clean & clear.

Nothing to add, you said it all. It doesn't get any better.

He holds his guitar as if he held his woman's body ♥️ he knows it so well.

Sabacas & Montoya are both closes to my love of Flamnco music.

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.

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.

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.

Ole Maestro Sabicas. Er mas gueno de tos.. Ese arte !!!

he and Montoya the best flamenco/classical ever

I have heard Sabicas music for a long time and enjoy his music a lot. As well as Carlos Montoya’s.

Y remember this great guitar player....It was in the 1950's he had a great season in Habana,Cuba.

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.

Incredible this is old man devil's of the guitars no any mistakes at all

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.

really...the maestro ,,,,,no one could play on guitar as he did

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....🌍

Those harmonics are SICK!!!

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... ?

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.

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.

Sabicas gave us Clarity and Montoya gave us Power.

Su majestad. Sabicas

I agree! No one else comes close to this version.

Un verdadero maestro de la guitarra Española!

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

Oir a este maestro de maestros con esta interpretación, produce una sensación de espíritu difícil de describir.

El número 1 de la historia Sabicas grande!

This brings tears to my eyes...and raises the hairs on my arms!

El verdadero autodidacta. Tuvo disciplina y constancia❤

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!

Elegant ! He does not play the guitar - he caresses it !

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.

At very least a grand master,more like one of the greatest flamenco players of his generation

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!

Fabuloso, irrepetible.

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.

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!

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!

This is an exhibition of pure masterful technique. This isn't a work meant to showcase the complex. Instead, skill and precision.
