BALKAN FLAMENCO TALES
ARCÁNGEL, THEODOSII SPASSOV, DANI DE MORÓN, AGUSTÍN DIASSERA
Arcángel zang, Theodosii Spassov kaval, Dani de Morón gitaar, Agustín Diassera percussie
Speciale gasten: Vlatko Stefanovski, Miroslav Tadić gitaar
Guitar virtuosos Vlatko Stefanovski (Serbia) and Miroslav Tadić (Macedonia) have played previously with Theodosii Spassov (Bulgaria), the master improviser on the kaval. On their album Treta Maika (2004) they explored the common musical heritage of the Balkans with great finesse and jazzy improvisations. In this special double concert the trio will explore new flamenco ground with young talent Dani de Móron on guitar, Agustín Diassera on percussion and the great flamenco voice of our time, Arcángel, who is considered the heir to the legendary innovator Enrique Morente. Folk tunes from Macedonia, whose strategic position in the Balkans has made it a true melting pot of cultures and music, fused with rhythms from flamenco, which is a melting pot of its own.
Bratimene –´spiritual brotherhood´ – is a musical journey full of adventure from the Balkans to Andalusia and back. Five curious musical minds from different cultures tell each other their stories with unbridled imagination and unequalled pleasure.
During the flamenco biennale the Bimhuis restaurant will serve a Spanish menu and there will be a special festival wine.
