(
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26351251) Renowned Spanish guitarist, Paco de Lucia, dies on holiday with his family in Mexico.
Paco de Lucia may not be well known in popular music but his force and genius rekindled Flamenco and introduced it to a wider world. He played as a solo artist and perhaps most famously, in a trio with John McLaughlin and Al di Meola. Seldom, in the field of musical congress, have so many notes been played so quickly by so few...

Aww at least he died with his family. The "night in san fransisco" live of that trio blew me away, and introduced me to flamenco playing for the first time. RIP.
