Event Description
Juan Martin produces sounds that are both melodic and explosive, the visceral power of authentic Flamenco. Listeners will be transported to the Spain of Málaga, Granada, Córdoba and Jerez on a journey through the diverse cultures of Andalucia.
Juan weaves a myriad influences from the gypsy culture of Rajasthan in northern India, to the Byzantine chants plus the Hebraic and Moorish laments of Spain’s colonization of South America – the sounds of Argentina and Cuba also to be found in the rumba, guajiras and milonga.
A native of Andalucia, Juan Martin has recorded twenty albums, mostly as a composer, and has played with the Royal Philharmonic and greats like Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock. He has twice been voted one of the world’s top three exponents by Guitar Player magazine, and, extraordinarily, actually performed for Picasso on his 90th birthday.
Haywain Bar at 6.30pm, then the concert starts at 7pm.
