Virtuoso Paco Lara coming

The Regent Spotlight

MASTER FLAMENCO guitarist Paco Lara returns to The Regent with a spectacular new show and the launch of his latest album Duende.

Lara has a 30-year distinguished career in Europe and Australia and has long been inspired to bring his dream project in Duende to life. His compositions and the fusion of cultures are inspired by his hometown, Jerez in southern Spain - the heartland of the Flamenco tradition. Having or experiencing ‘duende’, translates in Spanish as a deep sense of soul, a heightened sense of connection with emotion, expression, and heart.

In Spain Lara has been at the vanguard of Flamenco fusion with hugely successful groups. He recently returned from a rapturous reception at the 2023 Adelaide Guitar Festival, and recent sold-out concerts on the current regional tour, making this exciting Flamenco collaboration highly anticipated.

Critic Jill Sykes called the show, “intense and exhilarating”, and City News described Lara as “magnificently entertaining - such musicians are rare in this country.”

Recognised as the most prominent flamenco guitarist living in Australia, Paco Lara and his troupe is a world class musical and cultural experience.

Tickets for the concert and workshops are available now. Paco Lara performs on Friday, October 20, and the troupe will host guitar, vocal and cajon masterclass workshops on Sunday, October 22.
