Release Notes:
Juan Carmona (guitarra flamenca)
His name is Carmona, like his distant cousins of the
Habichuelas dynasty of Granada, all guitarists. In 1963, one year
after the exile, he was born in Lyons, France.
Juan Carmona was barely 10 when his father gave him his first
guitar. His virtuosity became quickly apparent to professional
musicians and it was only a matter of time before he began
gathering international acclaim
Juan Carmona soon felt the urge to return to the land of his
ancestors, to go back to his roots and to imbibe again at the
family spring û Jerez de la Frontera in Andalusia û with a
personal challenge : to revive recognition of the originality of
his art in the town considered as the cradle of flamenco. And the
wager was won. For more than eight years he rubbed elbows with and
accompanied the greatest names in flamenco, all the while
immersing himself in their talents : the singers Agujetas,
Duquende, Terremoto Hijo, Capuyo de Jerez, Rubichi, Antonio y
Manuel Malenas, Jesus Monje (Camaron de la Isla brother), Jose
Mendezà ; the dancers Joaquin Grilo, Maria del Mar Moreno, Ana
Parilla, Angelita y Joselito Vargas, Joselito Fernandez. Juan
Carmona also recorded with Chano Dominguez, Rubem Dantas, Manolito
Soler, Tino di Geraldo, à
In 1988, he awarded first prize in the Jerez de la Frontera
International Competition, and was one of the finalists in the
Union and Cordoba Guitar Competition. In 1989, he obtained a
diploma from the Jerez Flamenco Foundation, awarded by the
guitarist Manolo Sanlucar. In 1990, he won the Villa M?dicis Hors
Les Murs award, the Don Antonio Chacon trophy awarded by his ôpe?a
flamencaö, and in 1992 the Lavoisier award. In 1994, he finally
achieved the ultimate laureate : First prize in the Madrid de Paco
de Lucia Competition.
Besides his many concert achievements, awards and relationships in
the guitar world, this French-born gipsy added an hard further
distinction permanent triumph in Spain, particularly in Andalusia
where he created upheaval in the world of flamenco. His stay in
Spain gave birth to his recording ôBorboreoö in tribute to the
city of Jerez, under the artistic direction of Isidro Mu?oz.
Since his return to France in 1996, Juan Carmona knew an endless
series of recordings and concert engagements. After having worked
with a fabulous stream of musicians representing a wide range of
musical genres : Mino Cinelu, Birili Lagren, Larry Corriel, Babik
Rheinhart, Philip Catherin, Christian Escoud?, Raphael Fays à to
name just a few in the area of jazz ; Subramanian in Indian music
; the singer Matlubeth (Uzbekistan) ; and having participated in
numerous film scores, (La belle Histoire, Cuisines et D?pendances,
Sables Mouvants), Juan Carmona set up his own group : the Juan
Carmona Grupo, staging shows throughout France and abroad, forging
himself an international musical career : USA, Germany, Italy,
England, Morocco, Russia, Holland, Hungaryà in addition to
performances in major music festivals such as the Montreal Jazz
Festival (07) and the Festival Jazz ? Vienne (07).
A program was devoted to him on the Franco-German channel Arte in
October 1998, presented by the maestro Lord Yehudi Menuhin, who
considered Juan Carmona to be an outstanding guitarist.
After the sucesssfull release of his previous albums ôCaminos
Nuevosö (2000) and "Orillas" (2003 - nominated at the Latin Grammy
Awards, category best flamenco album), Juan CARMONA has released
in february 2006 his new album "Sinfonia Flamenca" (harmonia
mundi/Le Chant du Monde) performed by the Juan Carmona Grupo and
worldwide orchestras such as the Russian Philarmony, the National
Orchestra of Lyons, the Tunis Orchestra, the Brandenburg
Philharmonic Orchestra, the Danubian Symphony Orchestra, the
Marseille Opera Symphony Orchestra..., also nominated for the
latin grammy awards 2006
Juan Carmona has undeniably proven to be one of the most creative
guitarists of the new flamenco generation. This performer has a
surprising, moving quality. Somewhere between profound awareness
of musical genres, traditional styles and a devastating modernity,
Juan Carmona stands as an innovator.
