Homenaje Póstumo a Paco de Lucia. "Entre 2 aguas"
Hoy
queremos rendir un sentido homenaje al intérprete flamenco Paco de
Lucía, fallecido hoy a los 66 años de edad; una muy triste noticia para
los amantes del #flamenco
y de la música y la cultura en general. Es el adiós a un genio
irrepetible que con su arte sin igual contribuyó a impulsar el flamenco
en el mundo entero. Sin ir más lejos, en 2010 el flamenco fue inscrito
en la lista del Patrimonio Inmaterial de la UNESCO (http://bit.ly/1mHa1js).
Os invitamos a leer este artículo sobre el flamenco escrito por Félix Grande y publicado en el Correo de la UNESCO en 1984 http://bit.ly/1mAKHrN. También rescatamos este vídeo de Paco de Lucía interpretando uno de sus temas más conocidos: "Entre dos aguas". http://bit.ly/1frr0T0
¡Hasta siempre, Maestro!

If you gave me just one content marketing tool, which one would I
choose?
Social media is outstanding for finding a wide audience.
Blogs are superb for building rapport.
But the tool that's been most valuable to me is the one that's
under-appreciated, the one nobody thinks is sexy. The one "they" say is
old-fashioned and out of touch.
