Flamenco-Jazz: Sergio Monroy quartet and dancer Graciela Perrone
Monroy has been valued by the critics as the most outstanding figure among the new generation of young flamenco artists. His very personal style follows the path of the new flamenco, a way of blending different styles with frequent references to jazz. Monroy´s career began at an early age: at seventeen, the pianist performed his first open air concert at the Mentidero square in Cádiz and his true debut came at twenty when he accompanied the famous flamenco singer Miguel Poveda in the Central Lechera theatre, also in Cádiz, in 2000. Since then he has performed in many renowned theatres in Spain, from the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid to the Mercat de Música Viva in Vic (Barcelona). He also has played at concerts in England, The Netherlands, Germany and France. With Chicuco, Sergio Monroy steps further ahead in his musical career, offering a very complete work, astonishing in the sound maturity of its brave, daring style. For the pianist, Chicuco is in homage to his parents and to the memory of a childhood passed among the corner shops of his neighborhood, and paying tribute to everybody who lives far from his hometown, Cádiz.
