Antonio Reyes He approaches this recital as a step forward in his career, confronting the nuances of his singing with the guitar accompaniment of renowned artists. It is public knowledge among fans of the Chiclan singer's weakness for sonanta., one of his great passions along with bulls. Driven by these desires, for the Seville Biennial 2026, ha querido hacer un guiño taurino con el título de su concierto, combining his two great hobbies.

The proposal is summarized in sharing the stage with six great guitarists, representing different generations, origins and above all, six different forms of feeling and expression through the guitar. Six vital and artistic trajectories like those transmitted by Rafael Riqueni's hands on the strings, Manolo Franco, Diego del Morao, Joni Jimenez, José del Tomate and Nono Reyes.

A unique and unrepeatable concert, in which Antonio Reyes locks himself in the Sevillian “bombonera” of flamenco, to let their songs be lulled by the feeling and virtuosity of six guitarists with very pronounced artistic personalities.
