“The great protagonist of all that move was paschal, who also gave them a spin and revolutionized everything, and made that music out close to everyone, and did not do an album just like another; the same thing recorded one with a symphony orchestra
That another with Russian choirs than another with oriental music. And everything went by Sevillanas. All those works are history of the popular music of Andalusia and Spain. ”

As a person and as a friend, Almarcha adds that “it was someone very committed to his land, with the authors and artists, very solidarily, very involved in the SGAE supporting the impossible causes, but he fought them and took them forward, always contributing good
