His early albums were traditional flamenco recordings and he recorded classics such as "Malagueña" on the "12 éxitos para 2 guitarras flamencas" album. He toured again with José Greco in 1966 and recorded "Ímpetu", a bulerias composed by Mario Escudero, for his debut solo album, "La fabulosa guitarra de Paco de Lucía" (1967). He appeared at the 1967 Berlin Jazz Festival. According to Gerhard Klingenstein, top jazz musicians who appeared at the festival (i.e. Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk), profoundly influenced de Lucía, and sparked a fascination for jazz that remained with him throughout his life.
