Acclaimed Spanish flamenco guitarist Paco Lara will play at Avoca Beach Theatre on September 7 as part of a statewide tour to promote Duende, his recently released, self-produced album of original compositions.
The show will feature a showcase of flamenco guitar with a fusion of music, song and flamenco dance, performed by Lara and his talented ensemble.
Flamenco was recognised internationally in 2010 as an Intangible Heritage for Humanity by UNESCO demonstrating that the artform inspires people across the world.
Duende is an international collaboration between Spanish and Australian musicians and features Lara’s most emotional compositions.
Paco Lara has toured internationally alongside some of the greatest artists and maestro legends of flamenco in Spain.
In 2017 he migrated to Australia from Jerez, the heartland of flamenco.
His style (halfway between traditional and contemporary flamenco) contributes to the increased popularity and understanding of the Following with several successful shows around the country.
Lara began touring Duende the show in 2023, with the official album of the same name launched early that year.
Performers include guest flamenco dancers Sebastián Sánchez, Deya Miranda Giner and Lauren Majarrés, Angela Rosero (vocalist) and Byron Mark (percussionist, and pianist).
Duende will play at Avoca Beach Theatre at 7.30pm on Saturday, September 7.
