Let yourself be carried away by 90 minutes of wonderful music, courtesy of the José Almarcha Trio, where through the different flamenco styles, you will experience a variety of emotions and feelings. This concert is flamenco music in its purest form, but also incorporating elements of jazz.

You will experience harrowing moments in this thrilling performance, courtesy of an exposed and powerful guitar, percussion that will give the music strength and rhythmic vitality, while the piano will bring jazzy notes that harmonise with flamenco sounds - a perfect fit, given that both genres are derived from the cries of oppressed people.

Following the excellent reception of his debut album, Vejézate, José released his follow-up, Alejandra, to critical acclaim in 2023, and undertook an extensive UK tour last year to promote it.

Un Nuevo Paseo, his third album, was released this year. It marks a turning point in his career as it explores new sounds and a novel idea of flamenco fusion while always staying true to the genre's core.

José is a virtuoso guitarist, as anyone who saw his concert for us in June would attest. This is your chance to make amends if you missed him. You will not be let disappointed!

José Almarcha:
Born in Tomelloso, Castilla La Mancha (the land of Don Quijote), José started playing guitar at a very young age and then went on to study flamenco at the Cordoba Conservatory of Music with great masters of the instrument such as Paco Serrano and Niño de Pura.
A veritable virtuoso, with an extensive artistic career, he is a previous winner of the prestigious International Flamenco Guitar Competition, Niño Ricardo.
José's tireless exploration of the instrument has allowed him to develop his own personal language, which also highlights his outstanding technique.
He regularly composes for and performs with Spanish dance companies, such as Olga Pericet, Marcos Flores, Antonio Canales, Sara Calero, and José Manuel Álvarez.
