The Flamenco Poets Society – Café Cantante Series Presents: Lucia & Valdemar Flamenco, Cante and Guitar with Maria Alegre, Violin

Join us for a remarkable celebration of one of flamenco music’s most illustrious icons! We invite you to join us for an experience honoring the legendary Sabicas (Agustin Castellón Campos), from the city of Pamplona, Spain. Sabicas, whose passion for music left Spain during the turbulent years of the civil war in pursuit of artistic freedom in Mexico before traveling to New York City. He redefined flamenco guitar. His collaborations with esteemed flamenco dancer Carmen Amaya cemented his status as one of the greatest flamenco guitarists and composers of the 20th century. Through his soul-stirring performances, Sabicas transformed concert halls and theaters, making flamenco accessible to all. Modern players such as Paco de Lucia, Vicente Amigo, Gerardo Nuñez, and many more acknowledge the great influence of Sabicas’s music.Read more
