Matías López Expósito. Flamenco Singer
Javier Martínez Rabadán: Percussion
Abel Augusto Harana Calderón: Flamenco Dancer
Alfonso Aroca (Jaén, 1981) is a pianist, composer, arranger, and teacher who was brought up in Córdoba. He has a wide musical background and has focussed his career on the study of modern music and styles such as jazz, flamenco, and Latin and Afro-American music.
A specialist in accompaniment for flamenco singing and dancing, the flamenco piano has been his most personal form of expression and gave him First Prize in the XVI National Choreography Competition for Spanish Dance and Flamenco in the company of Guadalupe Torres. He has performed together with artists such as Martirio, Diana Navarro, María Toledo, Juan Valderrama, Mónica Molina, Rozalén, Falete, and Raimundo Amador, among others.
He now offers us Orilla del Mundo, a piano and flamenco album that symbolized the primitive starting point of flamenco music and the aromas from Africa, America, and the Orient that come together on Andalusian soil.
