This marks the fourth visit to Festival Internacional de Jazz de Barcelona of one of the undisputed geniuses of flamenco guitar, Rafael Riqueni. Since then, the project he presented here three years ago has now been transformed into an album, titled  Nerja.

In the words of Jordi Franco, the founder and driving force behind the project Solera Flamenca — a haven for flamenco guitar at the foot of Montserrat,"Rafael Riqueni is a concert guitarist in the truest sense. Without relying on sheer virtuosity or speed, he holds your attention from start to finish and elicits a 'bravo' every few seconds. He breaks the mold of what a concert guitarist is expected to be. His compositions and their presentation are deeply moving, drawing you into his world from the very first minute. He is, without a doubt, a master among masters. Don’t miss a single Riqueni concert — he truly fills your soul."
