MADRID – Spain’s most revered
flamenco guitarist of the last 60 years, who died unexpectedly of a heart
attack last year, playing with his grandchildren on the beach at his home in
Mexico, will be remembered in the nation’s capital. A new Metro (Underground )
station will be named after him. Aside from travellers hearing the musician’s name
when the station is announced, they will see a giant mural. The work, titled Entre Dos Aguas, Paco’s most popular
piece, by two urban artists, will dominate a great hall with a mixture of the
abstract style of Rosh33 with the geometric of Okuda. It is some 300 square
metres in size, of which the artists say, “We have tried to evoke a universe of
truth with stars and spheres representing the planets. Paco’s eyes are
universes that tend toward the infinite.”
