Concert by Meryem Koufi and Juan Carmona (guest.es by Alain Weber)
Flamenco's history is rooted in the memory of a harmonious Andalusia, where the beauty of nature and the stars, nourished by the knowledge of the Ancients and ancient Arabic poetry, where the sacred texts of the Torah, Bible and Koran rubbed shoulders with Visigoth, Moorish, Jewish, Christian and Amazigh cultures. Its gypsy aspect also links it to an intense, proud music. Andalusia, perhaps even more than the symbol of a civilization based on a meeting of the three monotheistic religions, symbolizes an idyllic golden age between East and West, far removed from the alarming ecological context of today's Mediterranean.

Juan Carmona
After his family emigrated from North Africa to France, young Juan headed for Spain to reconnect with his roots. After rubbing shoulders with some of the greatest names in flamenco, such as Joaquín Grilo and Chano Domínguez, he went on to become one of the world's great masters of the flamenco guitar. A self-taught musician, he writes his music with his memory, his ears, his heart and his passion, surrounded by great jazz artists such as Larry Coryell and Marcus Miller, as well as great traditional musicians such as L. Subramaniam and Naseer Shamma.
Meryem Koufi
Meryem Koufi, a young composer, singer and instrumentalist, blends traditional "cante jondo" and Arabo-Andalusian music. She collaborated with one of the great singers of Algerian Andalusia, Beihdja Rahal, and trained at the Conservatoire Supérieur de Séville with Master Cantaor Miguel Ortega. Between Arles and Andalusia, Meryem Koufi directs several creations, from a tribute to Federico Garcia, to "Gharnata", "Darb Al Harir", or her latest creation "Avec Elles/Con Ellas", a tribute to the poetesses of the Hispanic world in the early 20th century.
