Gerardo Núñez is one of the most acclaimed musicians of contemporary Spanish Flamenco worldwide. He is comfortable playing deeply emotional traditional Flamenco at an amazing speed, but he can also venture into jazz, Latin music, and other genres with ease. Núñez was born in 1961 in Jerez de la Frontera, in southern Spain, where he grew up listening to Flamenco and also to American rock and jazz. Since he was very young he accompanied important cantaores (singers) and bailaores (dancers) like Tío Borrico, Terremoto de Jerez, La Paquera and Mario Maya, among others. As a solo artist, Gerardo Nuñez has received excellent reviews, and he is considered one of the best prepared guitarists. He has performed on several flamenco stages, gatherings and festivals, both at a national level and abroad: Paris, New York, Cologne, Havana, Munich… He has also been part of a guitar quartet, with which he has travelled all over the world. As a composer, his music is complex and rich, at the same time allowing him to demonstrate his playing ability, as he is a great guitarist. In his performance, Núñez is accompanied by Flamenco dancer and choreographer Carmen Cortés who is also deemed one of the best in her field well beyond the Spanish border. Together, the two create an extraordinary and captivating Flamenco show. Eclectic and passionate, they combine a vast diversity of arrangements – from a purist concert for voice and guitar to a fiery fiesta.
