Anniversary concert: Tomatito y Grupo

World-class flamenco: Spanish star guitarist Tomatito presents in honor of the 30th Liechtenstein Guitar Days ligita his Latin Grammy award-winning program including flamenco dance. 

Already at the age of 15 José Fernández Torres, called Tomatito, was recognized and promoted by the flamenco legend Camarón de la Isla. Early on, he began collaborating with Paco de Lucía, and today Tomatito himself is considered one of the most gifted guitarists of our time. He is the epitome of Flamenco Nuevo and promises performances of the highest caliber. He earns recognition for this worldwide, in the great concert halls such as Carnegie Hall or the Royal Albert Hall to the renowned festivals such as Montreux or North Sea Jazz. 

Tomatito has expanded the musical vocabulary of the various styles of flamenco to include influences from jazz, rock, blues, bossa nova and other sources, thus giving flamenco a new lease of life since the 1980s. His 1991 solo album "Barrionegro" is considered a milestone of his technical virtuosity and ingenuity, resulting in flamenco at its finest, deeply rooted in tradition and highly modern at the same time. Tomatito comes from a dynasty of flamenco guitarists. His grandfather and his father, both called El Tomate, were already well-known musicians. Tomatito has been a successful solo artist, ensemble musician and composer of film music for over 35 years.
