Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company comes to Edinburgh Fringe 2018

Debuting at this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe is ‘Art of Believing – Flamenco Guitar’ - an exciting newcomer, bringing to Edinburgh the passion and fire of a Flamenco Tablao in Spain’s Andalucía.

Composer and Flamenco guitar soloist Daniel Martinez presents his unique musical production, where the audience will enjoy a rich variety of Flamenco styles; from the intense emotion of a 'Seguiriya' to the joyful sounds of an ‘Alegria’. The show will host an exceptional group of musicians; Flamenco singers, guitarists, percussionists, a dancer and a violinist, joining Daniel in a must-see powerful Flamenco performance bursting with passion and authenticity.

‘Art of Believing – Flamenco Guitar’ came to life in 2017 when Daniel decided to create a show that would represent his life as an artist and Flamenco guitarist so far.

“This project is a musical representation of my humble beginnings; from a young boy learning to play the guitar whilst spending tireless hours perfecting the art of Flamenco, to my adult life as a composer and musician here in Edinburgh - a city which has shown me great affection and taken me in with open arms since my arrival three years ago. It is a true honour to bring my first theatre production to Edinburgh’s Fringe, a festival bursting with incredible talent and diversity”.

‘Art of Believing’ debuted in Edinburgh´s Royal Lyceum Theatre in October 2017 and, due to the show’s sell-out and tremendous success; Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company is currently touring the UK (Birmingham’s Crescent Theatre, Ludlow’s Fringe Festival, Cardiff’s Guitar Festival as well as Edinburgh’s Festival Fringe).

Presenting this production in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2018 is a fantastic milestone for Daniel’s Flamenco Company. “This show is bursting with real musical talent; it is a great honour and pleasure to perform with my team in what I consider to be the best Arts Festival in the world” says Daniel.

Daniel graduated from Rafael Orozco’s Conservatoire of Music in Córdoba, Spain after 14 years of study and, in 2015, moved to Edinburgh to form his Flamenco Company and continue his love of performing. Over the last three years Daniel has been involved in many projects with musicians across the UK whilst composing and creating his own music. ‘Art of Believing – Flamenco Guitar’ promises to be a memorable performance, bringing to Edinburgh’s Festival Fringe a taste of Pure Flamenco and outstanding musicianship. Vibrant and exciting, this is an unmissable Flamenco experience.
