Album released in 1998 in Spain by the great master of flamenco guitar Paco de Lucia. The CD includes eight songs newly created by Paco and is a work in homage to his mother, Luzia (in Portuguese the name is spelled with 'Z'). The album was recorded during the illness of his mother, who spent 6 months in the hospital with the continued presence of Paco at his side. Many of the themes are inspired in his homeland, Algeciras, as seen in the titles on the same places, such as' Río de la Miel',' La villa vieja',' Calle Munición' or' El chorruelo'.
Excellent addition to any fusion music collection
Somehow passed over and nearly forgotten, languishing in the shadow of the 'Friday Night in San Francisco' set, is this great album from the guitar hero team.

The eighth album in Camaron de la Isla's discography with Philips record company, "with the special collaboration of Paco de Lucia" and Ramon de Algeciras on guitar. A varied summary of flamenco styles - from the Chacon taranta to El Mellizo tientos, with sevillanas and fandangos caracoleros in between - which was dubbed at the time as a "jewel of a record".
Recorded in 1973, this album signified a leap in the popularity of Paco de Lucía. With this recording, a new cycle of his career began. The Algeciran found himself at a level of technical and stylistic perfection never previously reached by any Flamenco artist. As much in creative as interpretative terms the level of maturity of the young guitarist brought to fruition an astonishing array of means of expression. Paco de Lucía achieved international as well as national recognition with the release of this album, owing greatly to the popularity of the rumba ‘Entre Dos Aguas’, which was only added at the last minute because only seven tracks had been recorded for the album up to that point.
