Andreas will take the audience on a journey from the earthy and archaic sounds of Flamenco to meditative, mystic soundscapes which he will create by layering loops and electronic elements.


Historical context

The flamenco guitar, which emerged in the mid-19th century, became integral to flamenco music, which has roots dating back over six centuries in Andalusia, Spain. Initially, flamenco was primarily vocal, but the guitar was introduced later to enhance the performance, evolving into a distinct instrument characterized by its lighter construction and percussive sound to accompany dancers and singers.
