| Paquito D'Riviera appears in Trueba's Calle 54.
Director Trueba states "Paquito is the door through which the music enters. And as soon as you approach it he opens it wide. This guy is always in a good mood. His laughter is his way of making music when he hasn't got a clarinet or sax at hand. He's generous like few others and if he's got an ego he hides it well. Of course you can live without listening to Paquito, but it'd be a less pleasant life."
