“Affecting, heartfelt artistry.” — The New York Times
ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE
Considered a musical genius in his native Spain, superstar Miguel Poveda’s nuanced and soulful voice is unrivaled in the world of flamenco. Possessing a strong technique and a charismatic stage presence, his concerts are inspired musical events. For his long-awaited NYC solo debut, he takes the audience on a tour of the traditional musical forms of flamenco, from malagueñas and alegrías to seguirillas and soleás.
At NYU Skirball, he will be accompanied on stage by four internationally acclaimed artists: Jesús Guerrero (guitar), Miguel Soto Peña “El Londro” (voice and palmas), Paquito González (percussion), as well as Gypsy dancer Antonio Molina “El Choro.”
This special event is co-presented with NYU’s King Juan Carlos I of Spain Center to celebrate their 25 years of creative programming that foregrounds the history, politics, and cultures of Spain and the Spanish-speaking world, and is co-produced with Flamenco Festival New York. flamencofestival.org
