ROJO Y ROSA

 

Rojo y Rosa has flamenco, classic, jazz... it’s an idea of Agustín Carbonell “El Bola”. Grandnephew of Sabicas and heir to two of the great artistic gypsy lineages of Spain, he is part of the history of contemporary flamenco. One of the most prestigious guitarists, he has collaborated in emblematic spectacles such as Flamenco Puro or Cumbre Flamenca. As a composer, he has recorded three historic discs: Bola, Vuelo flamenco and Desvaríos, the latter edited in 2007 on the RTVE Música label.

Rojo y Rosa includes dancing from Karen Lugo and Karime Amaya, the former with an avant garde style, full of a special aesthetic and beauty; the latter, grandniece of the leading figure in the history of flamenco dancing, Carmen Amaya. Two virtuosos of dance, both born in Mexico. The two with different styles but full of freshness and force, destined to shine in that great space called art.

The double bass is the internationally known Javier Colina, one of the best on the European scene and a a pillar of the disc Lágrimas Negras. The voices are those of two great flamenco artists, Saray Muñoz, daughter of the unforgettable Tina de las Grecas and that of the wonderful El Piculabe. The guitarist are Agustín Carbonell “El Bola” and José Romero.

This flamenco show has been carefully prepared, with costumes designed by Lorenzo Caprile and stage presentation by Juan Carlos Díaz de Bustamante, creator of dreamlike spaces. Dominique You, fellow traveller of Antonio Gades. and Juan Miguel Cobos, are responsable for the lighting and sound respectively. Rojo y Rosa is an integral flamenco show that goes beyond the cliches.
