Artists.
José Maya
Flamenco dancer born into a gypsy family of artists, painters, actors, writers. From a very young age he shared the bill with Antonio Canales, Juan Ramírez, Joaquín Grilo. His recognized talent leads him to be an opening act for international artists such as Marc Anthony, Beyoncé...
In 2010 he moved to Paris, where he founded the most recognized flamenco school in France.
Despite his youth, José Maya has been among the leading flamenco dancers for more than 20 years.
Lori la Armenia
“Flamenca”, born in Paris and initiated in the heart of the Jerez-Seville Lebrija golden triangle, tours the Andalusian tablaos and wins First Prize in the Nîmes Bulerías Competition, led by José Galván.
Lori stands out for her extensive repertoire, alternating authentic traditional and contemporary interpretations.
Based in Paris, she has numerous artistic collaborations in the fields of dance, cinema with Guillaume Gallienne, television with Jacques Malaterre and even theater with the Irina Brook company.
Rycardo Moreno
Born in Lebrija, Seville, in 1981. Rycardo Moreno worked as a music producer, arranger, composer and guitarist. Gerardo Núñez discovered him and decided to take him on as a solo guitarist, being his godfather.
The Seville Biennial held the official opening, offering a guitar recital with the song “De Barro”, releasing the most flamenco, without losing the soul of innovator, but it already has all the criticism with its triumph and public fame that this guitar will host a prestigious Festival, which will be repeated in 2022.
Let's look at the guitar solo, with the pedals, with the trio or with other great artists such as Tomás de Perrate, la Tremendita, Jorge Pardo or Ana Morales. But always at the forefront.
He is one of the abandoners of the new musical panorama, current, free, daring and flamenco.
Fernando Vacas
Coming from a family of artists, Vacas is indoctrinated in the most eclectic of music, including flamenco, but he falls in love with traditional soundtracks and the alternative world of music as its own language.
Vacas has produced John Parish, La Negra, Raimundo Amador, Lole Montoya, Rosalía, Niño de Elche, María de Medeiros and a long etcetera, which makes him a great connoisseur of flamenco, alternative and music in general.
Contemporary, modern and always original, Vacas has been weaving together a musical career as broad as it is eclectic. This is how he discovered and produced Russian Red, he is the alma mater of Prin'lalá, he produces albums ranging from Howe Gelb & A Band of Gypsies to Remedios Amaya, receiving the nomination for the Latin Grammys for best flamenco album.
His sensitivity also leads him to compose music for Cinema and Theater such as “Para Que Me Imagines” by Nicolás Pacheco (Jaulas, 2018) or the soundtrack of “Adios”, a film by Paco Cabezas, writing a song with Rosalía, and several pieces, including “Me Quedo Contigo” with Rocío Márquez, or even for the film “Despertaré” has just been presented, a new OST for the David de los Santos film, “La Vida Era Eso”, which this time signs with Estrella Morente and is a song worthy of being nominated for the Goya.
He is currently directing a theater play and composing another new soundtrack and the music for the Andalucía Film Commission advertising spot.
In the words of Tomás Fernando Flores, director of Radio3 RNE, “we are facing a true creator of the 21st century.”
