The singer Martirio and her son, the guitarist Raรบl Rodrรญguez will be the headliners.
“In Sant Josep we remain committed to musical culture in all its breadth and we do not neglect any genre. We lacked a program dedicated to a style that has many followers and with Jornadas Flamencas we offer three days in which we combine a great lineup of artists with the opportunity to deepen knowledge and learn to enjoy the flamenco sound even more,” explained the Councillor for Culture, Cristina Ribas, yesterday and is confident that the Jornadas Flamencas “will be greatly received”. Admission will be free but it will be necessary to reserve a seat for performances inside the Auditorium through cultura.santjosep.org.
The Jornadas Flamencas will begin on Friday July 1st at 7:30pm inside the Auditorium with the conference ‘Los palos del flamenco. From A to Z.’ by the singer David Pino and musicologist Faustino Nรบรฑez. In these sessions that will be held both Saturday and Sunday, the musicians will guide the attendees through the construction of flamenco from the singing and guitar, and will deal in depth with this musical genre and its differences between styles.
Pino has a degree in flamenco from the Conservatory of Cordoba, where he teaches and directs the chair of Flamencology at the University of Cordoba. Among a long list of awards he received the Soleรก at the Festival Internacional de Cante de Las Minas de Murcia in 2003. He has performed in Mexico, Japan and widely throughout Europe.

The tone, sometimes cultured, sometimes popular, always complicit and heterogeneous, which characterizes the music of Martirio and that, with the instrumental versatility of Raul, they have managed to conquer the public, both in Spain and Latin America, ” explained the City Council yesterday.
The final of the day of Jornadas Flamencas on Sunday July 3rd, the third session of lectures on flamenco styles by Pino and Nunez, will take place from 8pm on the indoor stage, before Raul Rodriguez will pair with a flamenco-fusion assembly in the format of ‘power trio’ and flamenco dance on the outdoor stage.
