The flamenco singer Iván The Chaskío She'll forgive me. Maybe next time. I went to The Bambera with the intention of doing double shows so that I would have time to listen to his recital and Cristian de Moret's in Torres MacarenaIt would be wrong to make a detailed critique with only three or four. canteThe sounds in my ears, though sufficient to appreciate his search for personality, to realize his immense passion and knowledge, as well as the disarray in how he structured each section, wandering aimlessly over where to lengthen or shorten, to include or omit a wail, to embellish a melisma, to give it a firm squeeze or leave it as mere caresses. I ran out of time. And yet I had enough to witness the clairvoyance of the birth of a truly great guitarist: Javier de Ana María was discovered in the Peña Flamenca La Bambera as a new prodigy of flamenco guitar. I say it like that, out of the blue. Without further ado or hesitation.

Cancanilla of Malaga"You know how to do all that, being from Marbella?" He shone without the slightest pretense of showing off; he was simply there to enjoy himself. However, he more than tripled the singer's talent, and my eyes were immediately drawn to his hands.

Mad bass lines, frenetic strumming, an enviable pulse, a quick and precise left hand and a right hand brimming with spirit and sensitivity They formed a support group for cante Replete with well-placed silences, deep, resonant strumming, clean and rounded strums, timely dialogues, dizzyingly precise strumming, sweeping and bell-like falsettos, flashes of genius… All of this combined in a truly flamenco and joyful touch, as if it had integrated into its fingertips two hundred years of flamenco And an old man with a discerning palate. He's warm and lively, clever, simple, and a true aficionado. He's got what it takes, the twenty reales of a hard-earned coin. He's got the makings. And manners.
Ladies and gentlemen… Remember his name! He is Javier de Ana María.
