Sizzling flamenco/latin concert with Vincente Amigo at Concertgebouw + Guided Tour
About the Event
Andalusian star guitarist Vicente Amigo in a sweltering flamenco concert in Concertgebouw Amsterdam. Passionate, fervent and sensual.
Vicente Amigo
Vicente Amigo was three years old when he saw Paco de Lucía playing on tv. That's what I want too, he concluded. And indeed. Meanwhile, the Andalusian guitarist is one of the world's most popular flamenco artists. With his latest album Memoria de los Sentidos he won a Latin Grammy. After trips to pop music, Amigo is back at traditional flamenco. With a great band and dancer he ventures into the absolute archetypes of the genre. The sometimes almost furious 'seguriya' for example, and the sensual 'tientos', a tango.
Memoria de los Sentidos
Also present at Memoria de los Sentidos: the spirit of Amigo's compadre Paco de Lucía. They played together as friends, influenced each other and became godfathers of each other's children. A few years ago the flamenco guitarist died, and Amigo wrote a moving Requiem for him. Passionate, passionate and emotional: the ultimate summer concert.
