Cañizares Flamenco Quartet

Espectáculo Cañizares Flamenco Quartet

SYNOPSIS

In flamenco, as in jazz, improvisation is of the utmost performance. Musicians have to talk a flamenco language that enables them to communicate with each other in order for the magic known as “Duende” to appear. And this is “Cañizares Flamenco Quartet”.

The concert’s repertoire is based on his “Cuerdas del Alma” flamenco album, espe- cially arranged for Quartet. As Cañizares mentions in the album’s libretto, “symboli- cally speaking, we have strings in our soul like those of a musical instrument. We also have experiences and desires that play those strings to produce sadness, hoy, illusion or love…”
