FLAMENCO FESTIVAL CLOSING NIGHT: PEPE HABICHUELA & KIKI MORENTE
OPENING CHICAGO ARTISTS PERFORMANCE: ANDREA SALCEDO
Pepe Habichuela: Guitar
Kiki Morente: Singer
The great flamenco guitar master Pepe Habichuela is the patriarch of one of the most revered families in gypsy flamenco, Los Habichuela. Born in Granada, the mecca of flamenco, he celebrates 60 years of flamenco guitar rooted in tradition and innovation. Pepe is renowned for his historic collaborations with Enrique Morente and as a trailblazer of nuevo flamenco (new-age flamenco).
Pepe Habichuela and Kiki Morente come from two renowned families in flamenco and music. The Habichuela-Morente alliance reunites these two families, previously bound by care and respect, in an intimate and moving dialogue. Here Pepe Habichuela, the last living representative of the era of flamenco guitar with his 60 years of experience, will accompany Kiki Morente, the final link of her Granada-based family. Kikis skill and intuition has modernized flamenco without renouncing its roots, which is evident in her first album Albayzín.
Pepe Habichuela y Kiki Morente
Dos dinastías fundamentales para la historia del flamenco y de la música. La alianza Habichuela-Morente representa a dos familias que, unidas desde el pasado compartido por el cariño y el respeto, se reencuentran en un diálogo íntimo y conmovedor.
Así, Pepe Habichuela, el último representante de una época imprescindible para la guitarra flamenca y todo un mito con 60 años de trayectoria, acompañará a Kiki Morente, el último eslabón de la fructífera familia granadina cuya capacidad e intuición para actualizar el género sin renunciar a los orígenes, ya se recoge en su primer álbum Albayzín.
