Miguel Angel Cortes and José María Gallardo, Flamenco and classical guitar will take part in the concert on September 22nd entitled “Albiniz Flamenco”, an absolute premiere, where they will show another side of the flamenco guitar.

On September 27, another absolute premiere of the album's second album was held David from Arhal Titled “Art Alley”. It is the first time the Seville guitarist has performed solo at the Biennale. “I am grateful that the guitar had the opportunity,” he said, adding that “walking in Seville, I am a romantic, through the same places that Ricardo went through.” Or Pastora, which is something to admire. His album was inspired by the works of Romero de Torres or the writings of Lorca, “I wanted to transfer to the guitar what the paintings and those poems inspire me with.”
