Flamenco guitarist Juan Antonio Suárez ‘Cano’ makes his
solo début with the album ‘Son de ayer’

Flamenco guitarist Juan Antonio Suárez ‘Cano’ makes his solo début with the album ‘Son de ayer’. He was one of those young guitarists who Gerardo Núñez championed in the ‘Nueva Escuela de la Guitarra Flamenca’ (‘New School of Flamenco Guitar’). And five years later, he releases his first album. ‘Son de ayer’ includes ten scores of his own with styles such as the seguiriya, tanguillos, bulería and tangos, but there are also songs, free pieces and the flamenco trip-hop ‘Soledad’. The guitarist has the collaboration of artists like cantaora Lole Montoya, Adela García ‘La Capachera’ on guitar, pianist Pablo Suárez, contrabassist Pablo Martín and the García, Salazar and Suárez family choirs, among many others. The album, whose cover dons a canvas by painter Antonio Maya, is accompanied by a text by writer Félix Grande, who recommends “going into this recording with innocence and with respect, because what awaits us there inside is a creature of grief”.
