Michel Camilo, a Grammy, Emmy, and Latin Grammy award-winning pianist, is celebrated for his brilliant technique and complex Caribbean rhythms. In Tomatito, the legendary heir to the Flamenco guitar throne and longtime collaborator of Camarón de la Isla, he finds his perfect sonic counterpart. Their journey began with the groundbreaking album Spain and continued through acclaimed chapters like Spain Again and Spain Forever. Their repertoire is a vibrant tapestry, weaving together their own compositions with tributes to masters like Astor Piazzolla, Erik Satie, and Ennio Morricone. On stage, the chemistry is palpable: Camilo’s percussive, architectural piano style blends seamlessly with Tomatito’s raw, passionate guitar „falsetas.“ The result is an immersive, high-octane performance that celebrates the shared roots of the Iberian and Caribbean musical traditions. To witness Camilo & Tomatito is to experience a conversation between two masters at the absolute peak of their creative powers.
A dazzling exhibition of virtuosity and emotional depth, where every note feels like a heartbeat shared between two cultures.
