Flamenco Legend- Tomatito!

Direct from Spain - an evening with the world's greatest living flamenco guitarist! Born in Andalucia into a family of flamenco guitarists, José Fernández Torres, better known as “Tomatito”, was discovered as a child prodigy and mentored by the late great Paco De Lucía. For years, he was the exclusive accompanist of the legendary singer Camarón de la Isla (“it´s easy to understand that a genius like Camarón could only talk musically to a genius like Tomatito” —Miami Herald). Now, with the recent passing of both his mentor and his musical partner, Tomatito honors their legacies and stands as the leading purveyor of Spain’s most celebrated tradition. He will be joined by the electrifying dancer José Maya, who has collaborated with many of the most renowned flamenco artists including Farruquito, El Güito, Manolete, Estrella Morente, Gerardo Núñez and Diego El Cigala, and has opened for pop stars Marc Anthony, Beyoncé and Björk. “The most eminent guitarist in flamenco...” —The New York Times Co-presented by Miami Dade College's MDC Live Arts and Olympia Theater More Info below.
