15 dec 2023 - Utrecht | IX Flamenco Biënnale Nederland Part 2 12.12-17.12.2023
Jazz flamenco is undergoing exciting developments in Spain in 2023, and these are echoed in the energetic debut album from bassist/guitarist and composer Juanfe Pérez. The title ‘Prohibido el Toque’ - No Playing - alludes to the ‘Prohibido el Cante’ (‘No Singing’) signs that once hung in Andalucian bars. On Pérez’ first solo-album - how could it be otherwise - the bass guitar plays the starring role and elevates the classical singing and guitar tradition to new heights. In his own compositions, Pérez makes sounds ranging from the psychedelic to the diaphanous, in a beautiful alliance with his musicians. Pérez knows his masters and lovingly gives them a place in an explosive soundscape. This is pure music, with no additions: firmly anchored in age-old flamenco rhythms but with a contemporary, vital signature.
