While we wait for the release of his new album, which will probably be available in early summer, Paco de Lucía's new tour has begun. A tour that is still adding dates and cities to the already impressive list of performance locations.

On this occasion, the maestro has surrounded himself with Niño Josele in order to incorporate new and interesting additions, the singer from Almeria Cristo Heredia, and the singer from Granada (from Motril) David de Jacoba, whose major stage debut was with the Joven Generación (Young Generation) project in May 2008. Farru is the dancer on this tour, which will include musicians that have toured with Paco in the past, such as Antonio Serrano (harmonica), Alain Pérez (bass) and Piraña (percussion).

Although dates still have to be confirmed, here's the schedule that has been confirmed up to now:

The Hispano-iranian center Casa Persa joins artists representative of different cultures on a single stage. Sufi dance, flamenco song and Hindu drums, among other disciplines, unite in a plural spectacle entitled "Encuentro de Culturas" (Cultural Encounter). This musical and dance production opens a new door that goes beyond artistic fusion.

A stunning example of cultural exchange: Majid Javadi, Jorge Pardo, Nantha Kumar, Agustin Carbonell, Sarray Muñoz, Auxi Fernandez, Luis Amador, Klara Brasil, Miriam Serrano, Eztizen Vázquez, Carmen Sanchez and Antonio Fernandez are the performers in charge of creating that meeting point between Persian culture, flamenco and Sufism. This encounter is an homage to women that intends to extol their role and struggle throughout the world.

The flamenco guitarrist Niño Josele presents his album La española” at Madrid’s Teatro Lara on April 27 at 9:30PM.

In this instrumental record, Niño Josele presents a well balanced combination of flamenco guitar and the Latin music and jazz that have influenced him throughout his musical career.

The album, produced by Fernando Trueba, opens with a version of the song by pianist McCoy Tyner for which it was named. The rest of the songs are the compositions of this musician from Almeria, who also happens to be one of the most important guitarists in the current flamenco scene.

Tickets to the record release concert cost between 24 and 30 euros and can be purchased at www.entradas.com.
