GUITARIST AND COMPOSER JOSE LUIS RODRIGUEZ CHANGES HIS ARTISTIC NAME TO JOSE LUIS DE LA PAZ
Flamenco guitarist Jose Luis Rodriguez has announced his decision to change his artistic name to Jose Luis de la Paz in honor of his mother via the following announcement:
Dear friends:
Today I’d like to share something very special. From this moment on, my artistic name will change to Jose Luis de la Paz. With this new name, I’d like to honor my mother who is still in Spain by taking on her second name.
This change is also an opportunity for my audience to find me much more easily on various search engines and social media platforms. It also highlights a deeper change that has taken various years and sets new goals for my artistic career.
I greatly appreciate all those who follow my work and have supported me. I hope to continue working to open new and prestigious spaces for flamenco guitar of the highest quality.
To mark this name change, you will find my new release “Scenes from Yerma” for sale exclusively on my website. The project is based on the work of Federico Garcia Lorca and is an original composition commissioned by the Junta de Andalucia for the Evenings at the Generalife in Granada. The work originally premiered as part of an evening length work under the direction of Cristina Hoyos and Jose Carlos Plaza.
I send many kind regards to all and take advantage of this moment to invite you to visit my new website and the official pages on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Jose Luis, originally from Huelva, Spain, and residing in Miami since 2011, was recently nominated for a US Artist 2016 Fellowship. Just last year, he premiered his new symphonic work Avalon: Suite for Flamenco Guitar and Orchestra in Miami, and will present it in the coming months in Spain. He is currently working on the soundtrack for the movie Finding Compás directed by Kathy Douglas.
