Rocío Márquez & Pedro Rojas + Momi Maiga
double bill: 2 concerts, 1 ticket | EUROPALIA ESPAÑA
Rocío Márquez is regarded as one of the most influential voices in the contemporary Spanish flamenco scene. Together with guitarist Pedro Rojas, she explores the boundaries of the genre on her new album and reinvents flamenco without denying its roots. Do not expect a purely traditional set, but a bold dialogue between tradition and experiment. “Visceral and beautiful, transgressive and powerful,” wrote El País. Márquez’s stage presence and artistic daring make her a unique voice in today’s music.
The young Senegalese kora virtuoso Momi Maiga breathes a fresh, deeply human spirit into world music with his quartet. His second album Kairo – Mandinka for “peace” – brings acoustic sounds that blend jazz, flamenco and West African tradition into a captivating whole. With a voice that moves, compositions that transcend boundaries and top-level musicians, Maiga creates a powerful musical plea for connection. From hypnotic kora to captivating percussion, cello and violin: each track is a story, rooted in tradition but radically contemporary. “Harmony beyond borders” – Momi Maiga embodies it with every note.
