Capital and totemic figure of the flamenco guitar, Rafael Riqueni makes his debut in the Voll Damm Jazz Festival with the most raw and sincere version of a return album that even the most demanding critics have considered a masterpiece. It is María Luisa Park, published in 2017 after 21 years of silence, nurtured by his most intimate memories in this Sevillian Eden. Sensibility and beauty in the hands of a man from Triana, who at the age of 14 had already won two of national guitar awards and has received distinctions such as the so-called "Nobel prize" for flamenco, the Compas del Cante, which two years ago honored this concert virtuoso for his "authenticity, technical quality, emotion and expressive capacity," and also for his "repercussion in the history of flamenco guitar and flamenco in general."
