OLOR A TIERRA

 

JÓVENES MAESTROS
Juan Valderrama, a young, wise singer, with a distinguished flamenco surname, shares the stage with one of the greatest figures in singing to come from Huelva, Arcángel. Youth and tradition, love of the art, thanks to these two singers it’s going to be an historic evening.

Restore the historic truth and give free rein to the growth of his imagination are the credentials of ARCÁNGEL, the most optimistic and hopeul voice of the young flamenco artists, the most novel expression of this time, in whom the fans have deposited all their hopes.

Everyone is aware that in singing flamenco the first thing that must be borne in mind is to know what one is singing and, from there, build a proposal that allows a glimpse not only of the essential questions that sustain it, but the two unquesitoable virtues of the great models: rigour and imagination.

An imaginative journey between two shores that are distant but not conflicting, tradition and avant garde. That is the proposal of a singer like Arcángel, forged with the conviction that, for him, comes from the pillars of flamenco art: a deep knowledge and respect for the roots and a ceaseless interest in finding new paths as a way to develop flamenco and thus express his particular vision of this beautiful art. A mixture of different sensations during the journey that will leave no one indifferent, that is his aim, risky but true, it is not a pose.

Nonconformist and tireless in the search for new nuances, he feels comfortable showing his two extremes, his transgressing soul and his absolute respect for the most ancestral legacy of flamenco That is how he is and only in this way is it possible to understand his participation in such different projects as De Oscura llama, a show created by the contemporary music composer Mauricio Sotelo and the preparation of the classic style show that pays tribute to one of the greatest figures in flamenco, Manolo Caracol, called Zambra 5.1.
