shows - such as “El Flamenco es Vida”, “Lances del Arenal”, and “Don Juan” - as a
composer and musical director.
He has just brought out a highly personal album entitled “Mi Camino”. Paco
Serrano has chosen his way, in which work is a never-ending process. He
symbolises the Andalusian musician who filters all that surrounds him and
transforms it into music. “Mi Camino” vibrates with the spirit of authentic
Andalusian flamenco that carries us to the streets of Cordoba.
