Alejandro Hurtado: Tamiz, part of Flamenco Festival NY
Alejandro Hurtado, from Alicante, has been noted as one of the most outstanding flamenco guitarists of his generation. He joins the tradition of the old guitar maestros, such as Montoya, Niño Ricardo and Sabicas, in advocating the role of flamenco guitar as a solo instrument. He studied with many virtuosos, including Antonio Cerreduela “El Nani,” Manolo Sanlucar, and Rafael Riqueni, and received more than a dozen awards, including the important Bordon Minero at the International Cante de La Minas Festival in 2017. His brilliance as an accompanist led him to perform with famed singers Mayte Martín and Miguel Poveda and to appear on several recordings and film soundtracks. In 2022, he released his first solo recording Maestros del arte classico flamenco (Masters of Classical Flamenco Art), featuring works by Ramón Montoya and Manolo de Huelva.This program of music from his second solo recording, Tamiz (2023), features his own compositions and showcases his mastery and connection to flamenco traditions with modern influences.
