Featuring piano soloist Andrés Barrio and special guest dancers Karime Amaya & Mizuho Sato
The opening night of the annual Los Angeles International Flamenco Festival kicks off with the return of a living legend: Tomatito returns to L.A. for his first show since 2016. José Fernández Torres, aka Tomatito, is one of Spain’s great modern masters of the flamenco guitar. A brilliant innovator and improviser, Tomatito first made his name as a teenage prodigy in 1973, famously discovered by Paco de Lucia and invited to accompany legendary singer Camarón de la Isla at the age of 15. The precocious Roma teen from Almería would go on to have one of the most storied careers in flamenco music, recording four groundbreaking albums in the 1980’s alongside de Lucia and El Camarón, and accompanying such flamenco luminaries as Enrique Morente, José Mercé, and Carmen Linares. As a solo artist Tomatito has released over a dozen albums since his 1987 solo debut, winning multiple GRAMMY and Latin GRAMMY Awards.
