Juan Martin, Chaparro De Málaga

Juan Martín and and Chaparro de Málaga both come out of the Málaga tradition of flamenco and bring the pure, powerful and poetic art of today to their duo. Martín is a world renowned guitarist who was voted into the top flamenco guitarists in the world and Chaparro is a prize winning guitarist from Málaga who has toured widely accompanying famous flamenco singers. Melodic and explosive, their pieces composed or arranged by Juan Martín evoke the visceral power of authentic flamenco in a musical dialogue between two masters of this great and esoteric art of flamenco.

The programme will transport you to the Classic Spain of Málaga, Granada, Córdoba and Jerez on a journey through the diverse cultures of Andalucia from the Moorish laments to the sounds returning from South America. As flamenco has inspired so many classical composers, Martín and de Málaga will also perform arrangements of the Malagueñas of Lecuona and other classic pieces.
