The Prickly Pear
Juan Rafael Cortes ‘Duquende, a Catalan singer, is the beautiful extension of the shrimp school. He was a cult artist and one of Paco de Lucia’s favorite voices. They toured the globe together. Compas knows nothing about Duquende. He plays at will with the duendes rhythm, creating truly magical moments. Carlos de Jacoba, Motril’s guitarist, will be next to him. He has proven for many years that, despite being young, he is a great player of the guitar. He is a proverbial creator and a guitarist with long registers. He stands out as both an accompanist (alongside figures like David de Jacoba, Israel Fernandez, or Guadiana) as well as as a soloist. This aspect he often embellishes with the honeys from his own singing. These are two essential pieces that will delight anyone who has the chance to hear his flamenco music. La Chumbera Municipal Auditorium, 9:00 p.m.
