When
La Boca is proud to present Flamenco guitar legend, Chuscales every Monday night. 7-9pm No cover charge. A native of Antequera, Spain, Chuscales grew up in a traditional gypsy family well known for its professional musicians and dancers. His grandmother was among those who lived in the caves of Sacromonte, one of the legendary cradles of flamenco. Chusco began guitar lessons at age six under the instruction of his uncle Joaquín Fajardo & Maestro Agustinillo, two prominent masters in the region where such greats as Segovia have studied. Whether versed in flamenco traditions or not, audiences find Chuscales’ music at once touching and exotic, his presence is engaging and his skill as a guitarist, simply astounding. A Chuscales concert is an experience that audiences take with them. He played the guitar for prince and princes of Spain at Santa Fe in 2009. He appeared in films “Camelamos Nauerar” (1976), “Gypsy Heart” (1998), “Flamenco Passion & Soul” (1999), “Viaje Al Duende” (2009),”The Spanish Table” (2010) and “El Payo” (2010). www.chuscales.com
