Spanish guitar virtuoso for Town Hall concert

One of the world’s top guitarists, Eduardo Niebla, accompanied by fellow guitarist Antonio Forcione, takes to the Town Hall Theatre stage on Wednesday next, March 28 to present an amazing repertoire of flamenco jazz from his latest albums.

UK based Niebla, who was born in Tangiers to Andalusian parents in 1955,has a musical career spanning some four decades. He has been acclaimed as one of the most potent forces in flamenco jazz fusion playing on the live circuit today. Niebla’s starting point is his flamenco gypsy jazz roots, which he fuses with with Indian, Arabic, classical and modern jazz roads to produce electrifying guitar playing.

In 1983 he formed the acclaimed Eduardo Niebla Guitar Duo with Antonio Forcione, and it has been repeatedly named as the best guitar duo on the European circuit.

Continually seeking out new musical terrain, Niebla has traversed the worlds of pop, jazz and world music, collaborating with such diverse partners as sitar maestro Nishat Khan, George Michael, Lol Coxhill and Craig David.

He has played at venues such as the Queen Elizabeth Hall London, the Tbilisi International Jazz Festival, the Olympic Games Greece, the San Isidro Fiesta Madrid, Glastonbury and the Brecon International Jazz Festivals, as well as touring throughout Europe, the Baltic States, the Middle East and South Africa.
