"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 Ideas. He was an unrepeatable and admirable person. I loved him a lot. It was affectionate, charismatic, endearing, and everything he touched was gold because he was also a tireless worker with a huge talent that put the service of all. "

"I met him being a very young, and then I've had the fortune to record in one of his albums and sing with them many times as a guest artist, paschal will always be alive in our hearts, in our life and in the story of Sevilla I had, speaking and giving us lessons to live. It will always be with us. "
