The acclaimed Spanish flamenco guitarist Paco Lara will tour NSW and the rest of Australia with Duende , the recently released, self-produced album of original compositions.
Paco’s performances always inspire and capture the imagination of Australian audiences. 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 in Spain. In 2017 he migrated to Australia from Jerez, the heartland of flamenco in Spain. His style (halfway between traditional and contemporary flamenco) contributes to the increased popularity and understanding of this musical genre in Australia. This has proven especially true in NSW where the artist resides. Lara has enjoyed considerable success since the 2021 Andalusian Guitar Tour to the Sydney Opera House and the Adelaide Guitar Festival, and has toured nationally with a constant succession of shows around the country since then.
In 2022 Lara commenced touring Duende with the official album of the same name launched in early 2023.
Duende is entertaining and popular, with Lara’s flamenco guitar mastery showcasing his talent at the top of the Australian contemporary music and performance scene. He will share this passion through his mesmerising masterful skills and techniques on the flamenco guitar and ‘with impressive and elegant articulation’.
Duende transports audiences to Southern Spain with the virtuoso guitarist accompanied by a multicultural and dynamic ensemble. Performers include guest flamenco dancer, Deya Miranda Giner and Byron Mark on piano and percussion.
Recognised as the most prominent flamenco guitarist living in Australia, Paco Lara and his troupe are a world-class musical and cultural experience not to be missed!
