Tony Ybarra: Flamenco Latino Guitarist

Spanish guitarist Tony Ybarra returns to the Red Poppy Art House featuring music from his upcoming CD. Tony began his journey in 2004 with the sole purpose of performing Latin Jazz and Flamenco that is united with a Jazz element. The result is what Tony termed, “Flamenco Latino”. His music has been described as “Paco de Lucia meets Sergio Mendez with the freedom of Chick Corea and Pat Metheny”. This sound is led by Tony’s versatile and passionate guitar work and complemented by world percussion, bass, flute, and flamenco dance. The sound of “Flamenco Latino” is modern in Tony’s original compositions but he stays true to the roots of Flamenco, Brazilian Jazz, and Latin Jazz. Tony is one of the rare guitarists who have been able to meet the demands of these art forms and create something that is new, fresh, and genuine.
