8. La Guitarra Erl Festival - DANIEL CASARES FLAMENCO SEXTETT
El poder de lo sutil - The power of quiet tones
Flamenco is an art of pure emotion - an immediate dialog of voice, rhythm and strings. Daniel Casares is one of the most influential guitarists of his generation. The Málaga-born musician attracted international attention early on: at the age of sixteen he won the Bordón Minero de La Unión, later the Premio Nacional de Guitarra de Jaén; his first album was released before he was twenty.
His work moves between deep roots in Andalusian flamenco and an open, contemporary sound language. Collaborations with international greats such as Alejandro Sanz, Miguel Poveda, Dulce Pontes and José Mercé mark a career that has never seen stylistic boundaries as limitations.
El poder de lo sutil is a poetic approach to the quiet, the subtle, the often overheard - to those moments in which intensity is not discharged in loudness, but rather in condensation. With his flamenco sextet, Daniel Casares unfolds a colorful, energetic concert experience in which virtuoso guitar artistry, expressive singing, dance and percussion are closely intertwined.
RITMOS DE CORAZÓN - Rhythms of the heart
2026 is dedicated to La Guitarra Erl completely the Ritmos de Corazón - those rhythms that not only resound, but resonate deep within. This motto reminds us that music reaches far beyond the audible: it is a pulse that connects, a common heartbeat that brings people together across cultures and continents.
At a time when the pace is constantly accelerating, the Rhythms of the heart invites you to pause and reflect on the essentials: the power of expression, the diversity of musical traditions and the stories that artists tell with their instruments. International musical personalities bring their worlds of sound to Erl and open up new perspectives on the essence of music.
La Guitarra Erl 2026 invites you to discover the rhythms of the heart, experience new musical horizons and celebrate the unifying power of music.
