JOSE MAYA, AKA "Joselito Romero,"is one of the most explosive dancers in Spain today and a powerful figure in flamenco's new generation. He comes from a family of Gypsy intellectuals in Madrid: artists, actors and writers, including his aunt dancer Fernanda Romero who helped introduce flamenco to American audiences in the early 1960s.
He has collaborated with many of the most well-known flamenco artists including Farruquito, El Güito, Manolete, Estrella Morente, Gerardo Núñez and Diego El Cigala, and has opened for pop stars Marc Anthony, Beyoncé and Björk. He wasfeatured as the main dancer in Gypsy filmmaker Tony Gatlif's recent performance project "Vertigo" which toured throughout Europe.
As a member of Grammy-winning guitarist Tomatito's sextet he thrilled US audiences in an East Coast tour in 2008.Maya now returns to the US with his own group, hot off a busy year of performances including the prestigious 2010 Bienal del Arte Flamenco de Sevilla, International Flamenco Festivals in Brasil and Albuquerque New Mexico and the 2011 Flamenco Festival de Jerez.
