Flamenco Puro in la Vega of Granada

Granada being one of the birthplaces of Flamenco it was about time for us to make a proper recording of this music that is so omnipresent in this area.
And what better way to do it then to record two of the best Flamenco artists of Granada in an idyllic setting.
We chose an old farmhouse that was turned into a bar/restaurant many years ago as a place for the local tobacco farmers to go and have a drink after their day of laboring in the fields. The name of the place is El Charavinillo and it is located in the farmland area just outside of the city of Granada.
The enchantment of the setting with the chimney glowing in the corner gave the perfect space for a night of Flamenco in its purest form, just voice and guitar.
And whom better to rise up to the occasion and offer us a memorable flamenco session than Miguel Ochando and Maria Jose Perez.

Miguel Ochando is one of the most acclaimed guitarist of Granada and has performed alongside most of the Flamenco masters of the time. He has just completed his first solo album with guest artists of the likes of Enrique Morente and his daughter Estrella Morente. You can get it here Miguel Ochando Memoria



Maria Jose Perez, originally from Almeria, is a newcomer to the Flamenco scene in Granada but she has arrived as force to reckon with. Her powerful voice disguises her young age and as experience gets on her side, she will most assuredly be along side the greats of Flamenco putting her stamp on this ancient tradition of song.



Here is the first piece that broke open the ceremony that evening:
