Al Compas Del Querer – Flamenco
Derby Cathedral | Friday 8 January 2027 | 7.30pm
Award-winning flamenco guitarist Daniel Martinez returns in 2027 with the UK premiere of his brand-new album and production, Al Compas del Querer, a deeply personal and emotionally charged journey through the life of one of flamenco’s most celebrated touring artists.
Since 2023, the Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company has captivated sold-out audiences across the United Kingdom with three acclaimed productions. Daniel’s debut album, Art of Believing, received the prestigious Herald Angel Award at the Edinburgh International Festival, while his second production, Andalucia, earned widespread five-star reviews and established his reputation for creating unforgettable theatrical flamenco experiences. His third production, Art of Andalucia, toured extensively throughout 2025 to outstanding acclaim.
Now with a rapidly growing international presence across Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland and beyond, the Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company has welcomed well over 120,000 audience members in the last three years.
With Al Compas del Querer, Daniel opens the doors to his most intimate production to date. Through a powerful fusion of flamenco guitar, exquisite singing and breathtaking dance, the audience is taken on a journey through the defining moments and people that shaped his life; from childhood and artistic discovery, to illness, family, love, and the creation of his internationally acclaimed company.
In flamenco, ‘compas’ is rhythm, but in this production, it becomes the rhythm of life itself, shaped by the people we love and the moments that define us. Each composition is dedicated to a person or chapter of Daniel’s story, transforming the stage into a deeply human and emotionally immersive flamenco experience.
Raw, honest, visually stunning and filled with extraordinary musical virtuosity, Al Compas del Querer promises an unforgettable evening of passion, storytelling and flamenco at its most personal.
