Masters of Flamenco
Throughout the 20th century, many seminal guitarists have brought dramatic innovations to the flamenco tradition. However, when considering their respective legacies, many modern aficionados misunderstand how such figures achieved their distinctive touch, feel and sound on the guitar. Ultimately, the individualism of these artists was not achieved in a vacuum, but rather as a result of a long and, in each artist’s case, a unique creative journey in which a deep respect for and propensity to draw influence from past masters of the tradition was central. It is with this in mind that Samuel presents ‘The Masters Of Flamenco’.
CONCERTS
Under the aegis of his ‘Masters of The Flamenco Guitar’ concerts, Samuel guides audiences through the evolution of flamenco guitar music from the late 19th century to the modern day. This is accomplished by exploring the creative output of five of the most significant flamenco musicians to have ever lived: Ramón Montoya (1880 – 1949), Niño Ricardo (1904 – 1972), Esteban de Sanlúcar (1912 – 1989), Sabicas (1912 – 1990), and Paco de Lucía (1947 – 2014).
WORKSHOPS
Alongside solo concerts, Samuel also offers ‘Masters of Flamenco’ workshops. These events are specifically designed to help intermediate to advanced guitar students build their knowledge and understanding of the evolution of flamenco guitar music.
