Flamenco Festival: José Antonio Rodriguez

JOSÉ ANTONIO RODRÍGUEZ with special guest María José Melgar

Part of Instituto Cervantes Flamenco Festival Chicago In collaboration with The International Latino Cultural Center of Chicago

From the heart of Córdoba, Spain, comes one of the world’s most celebrated flamenco guitarists and composers. Award-winning José Antonio Rodríguez is acclaimed for his powerful and evocative renditions of modern contemporary flamenco, having shared the stage and recorded with some of the greatest musicians on earth — among them Paco de Lucía, Chick Corea, Al Di Meola, Alejandro Sanz, and Joan Báez.

A prodigy who won first prize for flamenco guitar at prestigious national contests in both 1981 and 1982, Rodríguez went on to compose for the National Ballet of Spain, appear in two landmark Carlos Saura flamenco films, and perform with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. His CD Adiós Muchachos was declared by Spain’s El País newspaper to be the best flamenco album of 2016. He was also a special guest artist at the 2017 Latin Grammys, performing alongside Luis Fonsi, Juan Luis Guerra, and Maluma.

This evening, Rodríguez will be joined by special guest and cantaora María José Melgar, bringing an unforgettable evening of passionate flamenco guitar and song to Chicago; one magical night only.
