Ottmar Liebert
Tues Jul 22 at 8 p.m.
In the modern world of nouveau flamenco guitarists, one artist towers as the stylistic icon for all the rest.
Santa Fe guitarist Ottmar Liebert.
He is credited with inventing and defining this New Age musical genre. He is without question one of the most intellectual and influential artists on the new world scene, bringing flamenco to mainstream America with a natural elegance and authenticity, yet indelibly stamped with his exotic and aesthetic spin.
His instrumental compositions conjure up gorgeous images of ancient Andalusia as well as the rugged American southwest -- vistas with deep canyons, undulating deserts and snaky spirits.
His masterpiece Barcelona Nights evokes mysterious and sensuous moods, making Ottmar an immediate wonder and his new sound a favorite among guitar enthusiasts the world over. The album sold double-platinum and has become the biggest-selling guitar album of all time.
Incredibly cool in concert with an enigmatic stage presence and visceral vibe with his band Luna Negra, Liebert’s music continues to sweep the globe, packing halls throughout the U.S., Europe and Asia. He has recorded 27 CD’s, a number of which he also produced, including the top selling Opium, La Semana, The Santa Fe Sessions, Nouveaumatic and his Grammy nominated 2006 One Guitar.
He has twice been named Billboard’s New Age Artist of the Year.
