In this fourth volume of the series Pa saber de flamenco offer an overview of the capacity to take sophisticated flamenco, flirting with other musical forms. Invite you to take a journey that is a return to the root, a trip to the seed. All the voices and guitars of the great classics of our time, Camarón Paco de Lucia, through Sanlúcar and Carmen Linares. Of course we also offer classic flamenco tradition in the voices of the great historical masters like Antonio Mairena, Porrina of Badajoz, Manolo Caracol or El Chato de la Isla, among others. Pa Saber de Flamenco 4 is not a disc but a gem. A naked heart, the heart of flamenco. An ancient art that is more alive than ever. And in this mechanical world in which we live, this virtue of stripping the heart is something unusual.
This is the latest disc in Juanjo Mena’s ongoing series of Spanish orchestral music with the BBC Philharmonic and is his second featuring the works by Joaquín Turina, one of the leading Spanish composers of his generation.
