London’s Southbank Centre schedules a flamenco guitar festival starring Vicente Amigo, Niño de Pura and José Antonio Rodríguez. From May 2nd to 4th, 2008, the English capital will once again experience flamenco, but this time shining the spotlight exclusively on the six-strings. Three guitarists will display the vitality of toque on today’s music scene at the alternative stage complex of Royal Festival Hall. On May 2nd, Sevillian Niño de Pura will offer his latest album ‘Niño de Pura’ live. The following day, one of today’s top flamenco figures, Vicente Amigo, will perform the contents of his album ‘Un momento en el sonido’ in a sextet. The series is completed by the also Córdoba-born José Antonio Rodríguez with the recital ‘...en el tiempo’, for which he’ll have special guests such as bailaora Rosario Toledo and cantaor Rafael de Utrera. The guitar series comes to complete the flamenco agenda in London, which had its first date last March at Sadler’s Wells with Flamenco Festival London 2008.
