Thursday Lates: Spanish guitar with Juan José Manzano

Join Spanish guitarist Juan José Manzano for a programme of music by some of the Spanish and French composers connected to Picasso, such Manuel de Falla and Erik Satie.

Born in Chiclana, Andalucía (1980), the home of flamenco, Juan José Manzano has been immersed in the world of Flamenco since childhood. Growing up in a home filled with the passionate singing of his mother, Ana, who would perform Flamenco and Copla in their Andalusian patio, Juan José began accompanying her on the guitar from a young age.

Since moving to Ireland in 2005, Juan José has continued to dedicate his life to Flamenco, bringing its essence to Irish audiences while exploring the fusion and evolution of traditional Flamenco within a new cultural context.

This upcoming concert promises an intimate and unforgettable experience, connecting the audience to the raw emotion and profound beauty of Flamenco in all its depth and emotion.
