Rubin de la Ana

De la Ana explores the possibilities of musical creation based on the flamenco tradition. His magnificent Flamenco Fusion, for example, impressed with magnificent harmonies by merging traditional flamenco sounds (guitar, voz, and cajón) with the timbres of saxophone, cello, and violin.

And the brilliant performance continues: This time, de la Ana focuses on the piano, played by Johannes Doschew. As usual, the flamenco guitar takes center stage, accompanied by Chiharu Bley's sensitive, precise cello playing, enhanced by the timbres of the piano and complemented by Bella la Paloma's Escobilla's richly varied accents in dialogue with the guitar.

De la Ana celebrates flamenco at the highest level of playing; His guitar playing is a pure variety of sounds, ranging from tender pianissimo tones to powerful fortissimi, coaxing single notes or even diverse chords from the strings.

His meticulously directed and fabulously disposed musicians weave a delicate tapestry of sound upon which de la Anas' flamenco guitar can flexibly and jubilantly flourish. The three musicians alone captivate with their highly sensitive performance. It is of fascinating lightness, wonderfully eloquent, and perfectly underscores the unique character of each instrumental part.

Their playing unfolds with delicate melodies as well as in complexly interwoven improvisational lines and rhythmic eruptions. Paired with de la Ana's expressive, well-tempered, and deep-throated vocals, de la Ana gives his audience a truly intimate access to the world of authentic flamenco art. The whole experience is rounded off by Bella la Paloma's dance style, which captivates with its power and elegance.

Rubin de la Ana's profound ability to interpret individual palos del flamenco seems inexhaustible. No two concerts are alike. Each time, he succeeds in captivating his audience with new variations: Flamenco puro arte!
