Acclaimed flamenco guitarist Paco Lara will bring his new Duende Flamenco Show to The Art House Wyong at 8pm on October 28.
Now living in Australia, Lara will be back at The Art House for the second time in two years as part of his 2023 album launch tour sponsored by the Australia Council for the Arts, Toscano Guitars and Pro Music Australia.
His song Lía from the Duende album was selected by Spotify to be in its newest flamenco playlist of the most popular flamenco songs worldwide in 2023.
Lara will bring the soul and spirit of Spanish flamenco to The Art House audiences with his self-produced album of original compositions.
The show features a fusion of music, song and flamenco dance performed by Lara and his talented ensemble.
Paco Lara is Australia’s most prominent flamenco guitarist, representing Spanish culture and music at it best and he has toured internationally alongside some of the greatest artists and maestro legends of flamenco in Spain.
In 2017 he migrated to NSW from Jerez, the heartland of flamenco in Spain, and now his style, halfway between traditional and contemporary flamenco, is contributing to an increased popularity and understanding of the genre in Australia.
Duende brings a unique international collaboration between Spanish and Australian musicians and shows the most emotional compositions of Lara.
With his recent successes at the Sydney Opera House and at Adelaide Guitar Festival (2021 and 2023) and his national tour with the Andalusian Guitar Show in 2022, he has proved his flamenco guitar mastery.
Lara’s multicultural and dynamic ensemble of performers features flamenco dancer Deya Miranda Giner, vocalist-Angela Rosero and percussionist and pianist Byron Mark.
