The night will open at the Nuevo Teatro Circo, the Sevillian pianist Dorantes.
The professor in flamencology and historian José Luis Navarro: "Dorantes is doing with the piano, by giant steps, what Paco de Lucia did with the guitar".
About 20 years ago this unusual pianist broke out on stage from a family of great Flemish tradition.
Keep the candor of those who take pride in their origins.
Grandson of singer La Perrata, son of guitarist Pedro Peña, nephew of El Lebrijano.
Flamenco joined to Utrera by his grandmother and Jerez by family.
His first record work, opened doors and is undoubtedly a contribution of unquestionable value for instrumental flamenco.
Today, after his first 20 years of scene, he is one of the most recognized figures in flamenco music.
Dorantes elaborates a music full of intelligence, of a flamenco truth with jazzy evocations, quite unique.
A different path, a different trip for flamenco, a well-defined, clear and intentionally groundbreaking adventure.
In Dorantes, the expressiveness and emotion of flamenco tattooed from his cradle is linked in an indivisible way with the intense academic training he cultivates day by day, resulting in his music of a creative freedom as bold and brave as seductive.
Dorantes is really, mark of something different.
Without musical walls, neither social nor border, Dorantes, combines and melts, kindly and intelligently, something more than three worlds: classical music, flamenco, jazz, plus a few related ones.
He comes in a trio formation with his album "El tiempo por witness".
After the Sevillian pianist, it will be time to discover for the first time in Spain the new album Flamenco Leaks, third album by Benavent, di Geraldo and Pardo whom Flamenco jazz fans have baptized as El Trío.
20 years have passed since the live recording of El Concierto de Sevilla (1999) which has become a cult and reference disc for lovers of both jazz and flamenco.
The second Without Precedents was published in 2009 and won the award for best jazz album at the 14 Music Awards.
Flamenco Leaks is an album conceived and created in the studio and live almost entirely, except for two themes in which the license to honor great “Legends†such as Camarón, Paco de Lucía and Chick Corea de those who have received and collaborated with them many times.
