Bringing the soul and spirit of Spanish flamenco, the acclaimed Spanish flamenco guitarist Paco Lara will inspire and capture the imagination of Australian audiences with the release and launch of his new album Duende, a self-produced album of original compositions.
This show presents a stunning live performance of flamenco guitar with a fusion of music, song, and flamenco dance performed by Lara and his talented ensemble.
Paco Lara has toured internationally alongside some of the greatest artists and maestro legends of flamenco from Spain. In 2017 he migrated to Australia from Jerez, the heartland of flamenco in Spain, and now his style, halfway between traditional and contemporary flamenco, is contributing to the growing popularity and understanding of this musical genre in Australia, especially in NSW where the artist resides.
Flamenco was recognised internationally in 2010 as ‘Intangible Heritage for Humanity’ by UNESCO, demonstrating that this art form inspires people across the world.
Duende brings a unique international collaboration between Spanish and Australian musicians and shows the most emotional compositions of Paco.
With Lara’s recent successes at the Sydney Opera House and at Adelaide Guitar Festival (2021 and 2023) and his national tour with the Andalusian Guitar Show in 2022, Duende promises to be an entertaining and popular show with Lara’s flamenco guitar mastery showcasing his talent at the top of the Australian contemporary music and performance scene.
Duende will transport you to southern Spain with virtuoso guitarist Lara accompanied by a multicultural and dynamic ensemble of performers featuring: Deya Miranda Giner, flamenco dancer; Angela Rosero, vocalist; and Byron Mark, percussionist and pianist – this show will transport you to new heights through the energy of flamenco.
