Pau Figueres

Blending Flamenco guitar with the music of our century, Pau Figueres is one of today’s most talented and interesting Spanish guitarists. Worthy successor of this beautiful instrument’s best tradition, he pushes its limits to new grounds with his original compositions, his unique and deep understanding of music and an overwhelming technical ability. Phenomenal guitarist born in Barcelona in 1989, his mastery of all musical languages and a proverbial good taste turn his guitar into a fascinating instrument that expresses itself with the ease of a living being. His music, with the flamenco guitar as the undisputed protagonist, goes beyond this genre thanks to an ingenious concept of form and harmony, rhythm and compás, the result of a brilliant mixture of the art of the sonanta with the music of our century. Moving forward even further, Pau investigates beyond the guitar itself by incorporating to the natural touch of nail and flesh a very creative use of the synthesizer, through which he carefully runs his guitar, providing the music with rich textures and sounds typical of current times, but also rooted in the jazz tradition of recent decades. Throughout his career his guitar has been sought after by an amazing array of world-class artists such as Alejandro Sanz, Rufus Wainwright, Hayley Reardon, MARO, Sílvia Pérez Cruz, C. Tangana, Mayte Martin, Carles Benavent, Judit Neddermann, Vic Mirallas, Alfonso de Vilallonga, Juan de la Rubia or Tula Ben Ari, to name a few.
