About This Event
Granada pianist Alberto Raya performs his flamenco-jazz-Latin-tarab fusion project Texture in quintet format with guest artists.
Description
Translated from the organiser's original listing
Granada pianist and composer Alberto Raya presents Texture, his latest live project built around a fusion of flamenco, jazz, Latin and tarab (Arabic music). Raya has been playing since the age of seven and is known locally for his flamenco-jazz crossover work, including his earlier show Caminos Flamencos. With Texture, he channels those influences through the piano as the central instrument, layering rhythmic and melodic ideas drawn from Andalusian, Latin American and Middle Eastern traditions. The show is performed in a quintet format - piano, two vocalists, bass and drums - with special guest artists promised. The result is an atmospheric, genre-crossing set that moves between intimate flamenco passages, jazz improvisation and Arabic-inflected melodies.
