XXIV Flamenco Biennial

The idea of ​​making a trilogy did not arise from the first moment.

After five albums dedicated to my compositions of what we could define Jazz Flamenco, the need arose to make a covers album. My career having been so closely linked to maestro Gerardo Núñez, The idea of ​​making versions of compositions for the flamenco guitar arose naturally., but without flamenco guitar. Form a trio with an improvising pianist and a flamenco percussionist. And my two most obvious accomplices were undoubtedly Moisés Sánchez, on piano and Paquito González on percussion.

For my next album, I decided to arrange my own songs and invite my friend, the Jerez singer David Carpio, to sing on some songs.. At first the idea was to invite David on a couple of topics, but after some concerts and recording some songs I saw clearly that I had to delve deeper into the idea of ​​integrating David's singing with my songs., and the name of “Al cante” emerged immediately.

These two projects are based on a vision of flamenco, from a trio more associated with jazz. Do “To the dance ” At first it seemed almost like a joke., but the idea of ​​treating the three pillars of flamenco from this Trio more identified with jazz and doing so, a trilogy was very tempting. ” To the touch “, ” To the singing” and “To the dancing”” They are a vision of flamenco from a format that I know and that gives me freedom and confidence to approach this musical form., that I respect so much and that it has taught me so much: the flamenco.
