S.C./ Flamenco-world.com, February 2007
Though just a few months ago
he premiered ‘Dos voces para un baile’, Javier
Barón has set off on a new adventure. The Sevillian
bailaor has chosen Festival de Jerez 2007 to present his
new show ‘Meridiana’, “where rhythm
is present through an intense, stimulating game”.
Javier Patino, Tino di Geraldo, Juan José Amador
and Tomasito take part in this show, which premieres at
the Teatro Villamarta on February 25th.

“I don’t want to have to
do without making the ideas going around in my head materialize”.
Moved by this constant restlessness, Javier Barón
gets down to work once again. At Festival de Jerez 2007,
the Sevillian bailaor and choreographer is to present
his new creation ‘Meridiana’, a show tackling
the concept of time.
In this large-scale show he again has
a dance corps. Bailaoras Manuela Ríos, Ana Morales
and Leilah Broukhim accompany the artist from Alcalá
de Guadaira in the challenge to practice “a continuous
search through different flamenco styles which reflect
specific consubstantial moments to human beings’
very behavior”.
The company consists of a carefully-selected
group of musicians, since as the bailaor says, “I’m
really whimsical about the artists I want to work with”.
The music is the work of Jerez-born guitarist Javier Patino,
who will play live together with Ramón Amador.
Juan José Amador, Miguel
Ortega and Jesús Méndez will be on cante,
while the percussion will be taken care of by Tino di
Geraldo and Luis Amador. The group of artists is completed
by violinist Alexis Lefèvre and Tomasito,
who appears as guest artist.
Javier Barón, a usual instructor
of the courses, hadn’t come to the Teatro Villamarta
since he presented ‘Notas
al pie’ in the 2005 edition. Two years earlier,
he presented his acclaimed ‘Dime’, a special
tribute to Lorca in which Manuel Soler and Diego Carrasco
took part, among other artists.
