Nacho Arimany promotes coexistence between flamenco and world music in the 2010 Nits de la Música. The Madrid-born percussionist and composer ended the musical summer season of Oropesa del Mar (Castellón, Spain) on Saturday July 17 meeting with an avant-garde band based on the repertoire of his album ‘Silence-Light’. The musician -pioneered the use of Mali’s pumpkin as a flamenco percussion instrument- had as guests the renowned saxophonist and flutist Jorge Pardo, and two promising young Spanish jazz players, the pianist Albert Sanz and bassist Yeray Jiménez. In the Plaza of the Church, to overflowing audiences, they gave a new twist to songs like ‘Soleá del viento' and 'Homage to Morente', which blended sounds, textures, rhythms and instruments from various musical cultures with a high degree of improvisation. 'Silence-light', recorded in New York in 2006, has been shown live on forums such as the Auditorium Canal Isabel II Foundation. In the coming months, Nacho Arimany plans to perform at BAM in New York and to work with the new proposal Artomatico, 'Dance 220v', in Madrid in Dance Festival 2010.
