Light And Shade is a well-made British documentary from 1993 about the great Spanish flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucia. The documentary/interview (available in Spanish, English and French ) is a good introductory look at his family history, musical career and outlook on flamenco culture (and of life as a whole). Paco is well known in flamenco circles as a wise and thoughtful man, and thankfully, his sense of humor is seen in places. The documentary starts out with Paco's (nearly) complete performance of his virtuosic composition "La Barrosa".
