Sandra Carrasco & David de Arahal

Sandra Carrasco and David de Arahal present Poemas de libertad, a joint project based on the figure of Pepe Marchena, an artist who shaped the evolution of flamenco with a distinctive way of understanding art. The proposal focuses on creative freedom as a force capable of transforming the genre.

The concert is built on the dialogue between voice and guitar, to which other instruments are added. It traces the birth and the moment of greatest splendour of Ópera Flamenca and pays tribute to figures close to Marchena, such as Chacón, Pastora, Pepe Pinto or Caracol. It is conceived as a contemporary creation rather than a historical recreation.

The work premieres at the Bienal de Flamenco de Sevilla, marking the fiftieth anniversary of Pepe Marchena's death, and now arrives at the Teatro de La Abadía in Madrid.
