The singer, a native of Algeciras, has used his social media platforms to share a text addressing the state of his brother's heritage, who passed away in 2014. In his personal and critical message, the artist emphasizes the deep connection he maintained with the master since childhood, having shared their artistic journey.
From this close perspective, the singer feels a responsibility to point out aspects that, in his opinion, could be improved in the administration of the legacy. One of the main criticisms focuses on the use of the guitarist's image in both institutional and commercial initiatives.
“"Selling his image as it is being done is unacceptable."
The artist has also questioned the oversight of the programming at the Paco de Lucía Interpretation Center, as well as the commercial exploitation of his figure. He has stated that no one consults him on these decisions, despite his extensive experience in flamenco.
Furthermore, he has highlighted the importance of handling merchandise associated with the guitarist with extreme care, given the significance of his figure. He has raised questions about the destination of funds collected from the sale of products such as t-shirts.
Despite his critical observations, the singer has reiterated the need to preserve the figure of Paco de Lucía as a global reference in flamenco. He concluded his message with a call for collaboration and understanding, offering his willingness to participate in efforts aimed at enhancing the memory of one of the greatest artists of the last century.
