Tomas and Maria: Spanish Guitar and Castanets

Tomas Jimenez and Maria- Jose Garcia give an exquisite, enchanting performance of flamenco guitar solos and duets with castanets.

Instead of being tied to a formal programme they choose pieces on the spur of the moment.

Their repertoire is very extensive and varied and the pieces they play can be explosive and energetic or light and fun or, in contrast, sensitive and soulful.

Tomas and Maria like to talk to their audiences about the music and this they do in a manner that is respectfully intelligent and informative while at the same time being relaxed and light hearted.

They both feel that it is their responsibility to ensure that none of the pieces seem to sound the same and thus each piece has its own distinguishable character, rhythm and harmonic progression.

The result is a wonderfully enjoyable entertaining performance of magnificent first class concert flamenco guitar solos and mesmerising duets of guitar and castanets.

Tomas Jimenez and Maria- Jose Garcia have performed at: Brighton Festival, Canning House (Latin American and Spanish Concert Hall), Dorchester Festival, Dumfries and Galloway Festival, Norwich Castle Museum , Tsunami Relief Concert, to name a few.

The success that Tomas and Maria enjoy is because their audiences feel comfortable with their relaxed interaction on stage and their simple, uncomplicated and sincere expression of this quintessentially Spanish Andalusian art form.

Press comments:

In his masterful and varied recital, the acclaimed yet modest Spanish flamenco guitarist Tomas Jimenez introduced the backgrounds and styles of various forms and origins of flamenco, from traditional Spanish styles, to his personal improvised pieces.
Both entertaining and enlightening, the true beauty of this event was the pure unadulterated escapism it provided.
Seven Days (official Brighton and Edinburgh Festivals on line and glossy print magazine).

"In his deft hands, the guitar was able to communicate the joy and sadness, the strength and gentleness of each message. The fingers of his left hand fluttered with the delicacy of butterfly wings, spiralling descending and rising again in musical ornamentation above the insistent demands of the right. A breathtaking performance."
