Andrés Marín exports his latest creations to France and Holland on a tour which will last for over a month. ‘OP 24’, ‘Vanguardia jonda’ and ‘La pasión según se mire’ are the shows he will perform from September 30th to October 22nd on stages in France, as well as in the Dutch city of The Hague. In November, he will stop off in Istanbul and also in Cannes, where at the 2011 Danse Festival he will perform the experimental show ‘El cielo de tu boca’, with bell music by Llorenç Barber.

The European tour which Andrés Marín will carry out in autumn 2011 compiles the most outstanding shows that he has premiered solo over the past few seasons. ‘OP 24’ is a show of essences in which he is accompanied by cantaor Enrique Soto as special guest and Salvador Gutiérrez on guitar. And he takes Antonio Chacón, La Niña de los Peines and the singing-cafés as references. The decline of those old-time tablaos is the context of ‘Vanguardia jonda’, a show including the participation of musicians Segundo Falcón on cante, Salvador Gutiérrez on guitar, Pablo Suárez on piano and Antonio Coronel on percussion.
