José Almarcha Trio
November 15 @ 6:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Flamenco-jazz fusion, blending the raw emotional depth and complex rhythms of traditional flamenco with the improvisational freedom of jazz.
The José Almarcha Trio features award-winning Spanish flamenco guitarist and composer José Almarcha, accompanied by Demi García Sabat on drums and percussion, and Andre JahJah on piano. Their contemporary sound blends traditional flamenco roots with jazz harmony and expressive cross-genre improvisations.
Line-up
- José Almarcha – guitar. Virtuoso guitarist from Ciudad Real, Spain, and winner of the Niño Ricardo International Flamenco Guitar Competition. He studied at the Córdoba Conservatory under masters like Paco Serrano and Niño de Pura.
- Andre JahJah – piano. Pianist providing rich harmonic and melodic jazz-infused layers.
- Demi García Sabat – drums and percussion. Versatile, London-based percussionist bridging flamenco, jazz, Latin, and Arabic percussion styles.
The trio delivers a conceptual, emotional musical journey.
