TICKETS + INFORMATION

There are musicians who claim to “update” flamenco by adding all sorts of extraneous elements — and who come up with syncretic bullshit. And then there’s El Mati. There are electronics, and some pop and even jazz elements. But as soon as he opens up his mouth to sing, you can hear this is the real thing.
