OTTMAR LIEBERT & LUNA NEGRA

View artist website

Ottmar Liebert has said that “flamenco is a music both romantic and dangerous; it is an attitude as much as it is a musical genre.” The guitarist is renowned for harnessing the emotional fire and mournful tonalities of traditional flamenco music, updating it with the subtle rhythms of jazz, and making it widely accessible with the melodic song structures of pop. But even the cleverest formulas are worthless without the animating spark of genius – a quality for which there is no formula, only serendipity. Liebert, together with Luna Negra, provides that spark.
