Encuentro Flamenco with José Manuel León

Flamenco vivo Studios- 4 W 43rd Studio A 

May 27, 6:30PM

Join us for an intimate evening with José Manuel León, one of flamenco’s most sought-after guitarists and a passionate advocate for flamenco’s transformative power.

Born in Algeciras, Cádiz, José Manuel began playing guitar at age 13 under his father’s guidance and was performing professionally by 16. His career has taken him across the world, collaborating with flamenco greats including Niña Pastori, Alejandro Sanz, Carmen Linares, and Gerardo Nuñez, with whom he appeared in Carlos Saura’s film “Iberia.”

José Manuel is also a founding member of Asociación Cultural Sirimusa, which uses flamenco as a tool for social intervention with at-risk youth and marginalized communities. During his time in New York performing with renowned dancer Olga Pericet, he’ll share insights into his artistic practice and social mission.

Part performance, part conversation, this evening offers a rare opportunity to experience the artistry and heart of a musician who believes flamenco can change lives.
