Description
Juan Carmona is considered one of the most important flamenco guitarists of his generation. A virtuoso composer and musician, Juan Carmona travels the world with his guitar.
At the intersection of modern music and Andalusia’s oldest traditions, Juan Carmona is an innovator. Far from clichés, the artist has continually pushed the boundaries of flamenco while remaining true to his roots.
For this boy born in Lyon to a Spanish family recently exiled from North Africa, the instrument quickly became a universal key: a tool for forging his own identity and language; a divining rod to return to the Andalusia of his ancestors, where, as a young man, he went to study with the greatest masters of flamenco; but also a compass to open up countless paths and encounters, from his Gypsy brothers to Al Di Meola, from Gnawa musicians to India, from stages around the world to movie sets…
The internationally renowned flamenco guitarist celebrates four decades of a career shaped by his passions and encounters this year with the release of his new album, “Laberinto de Luz.” This new work offers a unique sonic adventure at the crossroads of flamenco, jazz, and Latin rhythms, a vibrant testament to his exceptional journey.
An artist dedicated to sharing and musical diversity, Juan Carmona takes flamenco far beyond its original borders and affirms his role as a conveyor of emotions, building bridges between styles, cultures, and audiences.
