MASTERS

Premier. A vision of traditional flamenco the aim of which is to recall the great masters of the golden age of cante flamenco (a particular style of flamenco singing), showing a different side of them that helps reintegrate them with a renewed freshness.

Vocals and guitar merge with the harmonic richness of the piano and violins join in on the Farruca, Garrotín, Malagueñas, Tarantas, cantes de ida y vuelta. Names such as Don Antonio Chacón, Pastora Pavón "Niña de los Peines", Ramón Montoya, Manuel Vallejo, Dolores Jiménez "Niña de la Puebla", Pepe Marchena, Pepe Pinto, Porrinas de Badajoz and Juanito Valderrama, make up the base of this musical show.

Great artists who, in their own days, had stood flamenco on its head, reworking and perfecting their harmony, their technique, their performances, in order to endow flamenco with a previously unknown aesthetic beauty. These great flamenco masters took the art form beyond the four walls of the tavern, dressed it up, and promenaded it around the most prestigious stages both at home and abroad, decisively contributing to flamenco's current expansion and relevance.

Suma Flamenca commissioned Valderama to create this piece, challenging him as the son of Don Juan Valderrama to take the bull by the horns and keep his father's memory alive.
