‘Niebla is the king of Latin guitar, a world-class virtuoso.’ Time Out Hailed as one of the world’s great guitarists, Eduardo Niebla returns to Mermaid with his internationally acclaimed guitar duo, to present a repertoire of ‘stunning flamenco jazz’ (The Sound) from his latest albums. In a career spanning four decades, flamenco jazz guitar virtuoso and composer, has made 23 albums of his original compositions. Following his flamenco gypsy jazz roots he bridges them with Indian, Arabic, classical and modern jazz roads to produce the most electrifying, brilliant and poignantly poetic guitar playing, collaborating with such diverse partners as sitar maestro Nishat Khan, George Michael, Lol Coxhill and Craig David. A spellbinding evening of passion, verve and fleet fingered virtuosity from one of the most potent forces in flamenco jazz fusion.
