Solquemia Esencial - A night of Latin guitar & flamenco

Solquemia’s unique music is inspired by Latin jazz, flamenco and rumba, established in 2009 by Alejandro Florez as a means of experimenting with different sounds and instrumentation, both solo and in collaboration with other musicians. Now, with his longest guitar compadre, Juan Martinez, he presents Solquemia “Esencial”, a guitar duo that brings out the captivating magic of the Spanish guitar.

Alejandro and Juan have performed together for the last 15 years in various projects that have taken them around Australia and overseas. Solquemia “Esencial” combines Juan’s virtuosity and dazzling technique with Alejandro’s sensitivity and lyrical melodies to evoke primal emotions, stirring up feelings from deep within that can only be set free by two guitars in their purest form. Flamenco with traces of past experiences are woven together for a guitar experience not to be missed.

The night will also include music by locals The Night Cafe who draw inspiration from across the world with their repertoire of French Cafe tunes, Cuban salsa, Brazilian bossa, Argentinean tango, songs from the Romany and Gypsy Swing traditions and Jazz Standards.

Also performing a special solo acoustic set will be Karina Bontes Forward, and Don “Oudist Nudist” will open up the night with middle eastern vibes to round out an amazing night of music.
