Manuel Moraga, journalist for the Spanish national radio and producer of "Callejón del cante" (a radio program specialized in flamenco), has kindly written an introduction for the album:
The music of the spheres “This is not a usual flamenco guitar recording, and actually its author cannot be strictly defined as just a flamenco guitarist. Flamenco is indeed present, but from a different dimension, because Juan Antonio Suárez “Cano” does not just compose music: he suggests ideas and forms images from a unique sensibility. Flamenco is his expressive raw material: rondeña, taranto, bulería… But we cannot just retain the illusion, the mere trick. These musical structures, the succession of measurable hertz take us to intangible universes, well beyond the sentimental casuistry of the “jondo” art. The beauty of his music positions us at the limits of known flamenco. He creates like he thinks. He expresses himself in the way he believes. Cano is a creator of concepts, a generator of conscience who invites us to travel from the centre of the earth, to the depths of the universe... With no other instrument than his guitar, Cano crafts a polysemic flamenco that suggests emotional dimensions as yet unexplored by the “arte jondo”… “El Atlante” is the sonorous visualization of a lost culture, of a dormant memory, buried under the waters of time and science. A legend that Cano lifts with his guitar, with his exquisite musical personality and his coherence: coherence between his world, the world and the universe.” - Manuel Moraga
Hope you enjoy!
