About

A Series in Support of the 15th Annual Bay Area Flamenco Festival 2020
Weds, March 25th: ANTONIO LIZANA, Flamenco, Jazz and Beyond

Bridging the worlds of flamenco and jazz with his original music, it’s difficult to distinguish between the sax player who sings flamenco and the flamenco singer who plays the saxophone. Like flamenco legend Camaron de la Isla -a major influence - Antonio LIzana was born and bred in the San Fernando neighborhood of Cadiz, Spain. With a degree in jazz studies from the Centro Superior de Música del País Vasco, Lizana has collaborated with many greats, including Chano Domínguez, Jorge Pardo, Chambao. Among his many credits is a guest appearance on Arturo O’Farrill’s Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra project "The Offense of the Drum", which won a Grammy for Best Instrumental Latin Jazz Album. He composes and arranges all of his music and also writes his own lyrics. He has created quite a buzz recently inside and outside of Spain, releasing three albums in the last 5 years, the last two —"Oriente" and "Quimeras del Mar"— with Sony Music.
 Appearing with the group is dancer "Mawi de Cadiz"....
