José Miguel Carmona. Flamenco Guitar
Javier Colina. Double Bass
José Manuel Ruiz Motos. Percussion
Josemi Carmona (Madrid, 1971) is one of the essential figures in the recent history of Spanish music, and in the words of Paco de Lucía, one of the guitarists that will define guitar playing in the 21st century. He belongs to Los Habichuela family, and is a precocious and intuitive virtuoso who brings great sensitivity to his melodies and a deeply harmonious approach to his compositions. He is an indispensable member of the group Ketama and composes and produces for artists such as Estrella Morente and Niña Pastori.
Javier Colina (Pamplona, 1960) is considered the most talented double bass player on the current flamenco scene. He initially taught himself to play the double bass after having studied piano, the accordion and the guitar. With his personal musical language he has played with established figures of jazz (Tete Montoliu, Chucho Valdés, and Jerry González) and flamenco musicians (Tomatito, Pepe Habichuela, Diego El Cigala, and Enrique Morente)
