Daniel Martinez

Back to the Tung Auditorium tonight to see a breathtaking performance by the Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company. I love to experience musicians, singers and dancers in full flight - the music and passion flowing through them - there’s nothing like it.

Daniel is a superb guitarist and he and his company were in town to promote his new album ‘Andalucia’ which consists of 8 compositions of his in the distinct flamenco styles of each region of Andalucia: Cordoba (from whence Daniel hails), Sevilla, Cadiz, Malaga, Jaen, Granada, Huelva and Almeria.

Daniel now lives in Edinburgh so today’s tune is a suitable ‘Iberia meets Alba’ mash-up. The Proclaimers go flamenco in the hands of Daniel and friends… ‘Voy A Ser (500 Millas)’ https://youtu.be/CVvrccL_Jiw?si=dZ9WqmUq7JEE-Kuo What’s not to love? Olé!
