 His compositions La Cañada , the opening track , a tango called La Barrosa , an <unk> named after the Playa la Barrosa in the province of Cadiz , and Gloria al Niño Ricardo , a <unk> , received considerable attention and are considered modern flamenco classics . Eric Clapton and Richard Chapman described La Barrosa , a sweet <unk> played in B major , as , " full of effortless delicacy with cascading phrases . " " Gloria al Niño Ricardo " is dedicated to Niño Ricardo who was de Lucía 's " first hero " of the guitar . Several of his compositions from that album form the staple of his contemporary concert performances , and he often begins his concerts with La Cañada .
