The Essaouira Gnaoua and World Music Festival proposes one of the most engaged duos of the Flamenco Jazz universe, bringing together Nino de Los Reyes and Sergio Martinez. This is not the first time these two have shared a stage. Nino is a rising star of contemporary flamenco, the first dancer to receive a Grammy Award for Best Latin Jazz Album with Antidote, in collaboration with legendary jazz artist Chick Corea. Corea also invited him to participate in his 75th birthday presentation at the Blue Note Club and Madison Square Garden in New York. Nino has shared the stage with Joaquin Grilo, Milagros Mengibar, Antonio Reyes and his brother Isaac De Los Reyes. He also collaborated with Paul Simon on his Stranger to Stranger album. As for Sergio, he is one of today’s most internationally-recognised Spanish percussionists. This versatile artist has developed his career through collaboration with great figures from the global scene, artists such as Paul Simon, Al Di Meola, John Patitucci, Joe Lovano, and Terri Lyne Carrington. He has performed with his mentors – Danilo Pérez, Jamey Haddad and Jose Antonio Galicia – on the best jazz stages and has participated in the major festivals around the world.
