pedazo de artista y encima andaluz! el saxo le suena flamenco y a puro jazz a la vez y con un compás exagerado! discípulo del maestro Jorge Pardo! Esto es música de la buena! Viva Cai!
Just moved to Granada, Spain, and saw that this guy is performing for free at the Museo Caja Granada tonight. Research led me to this video, and I am so excited now to see his show. I LOVE flamenco, and am fascinated by his modern, fresh take.
Bob Boilen is one of the greatest curators of music on the face of the planet, and the team he has around him that document these artists are the best in the business. Tiny Desk Concerts have been the source of my favorite performances of many a song by artists that I love, and the start of many obsessions when I discover new artists. There are many other fantastic music series out there, Mahogony Sessions, Sideshow Alley, Sofar, Le HibOO to name a few off the top of my head, but in my mind Tiny Desk holds a special place alone.
i had the luck of seeing a concert of this great artist in my town in seville, less than 30 assistants, open air, a great experience. i cant believe how underrated he is
Toured Spain many years ago. Great audiences, warm and generous, even if I thought we didn’t play great they still wanted 3 or 4 encores. Fascinating country, but I could never wrap my mind around flamenco, crazy stuff, in a good way.
Que grande es este músico. En directo con su banda es elegante, empático y humilde. El flamenco-jazz en mi opinión está representado por pocos músicos como lo hace Antonio. Su disco "Quimeras del mar" es una joya. Dentro del estilo y para estos tiempos de escasez creativa es extraordinario. Saludos desde España.
"Let yourself be heard, don't be the puppet of what they expect from you, don't lose another day Maybe you will only have this day" Part of the lyrics from the first song which the correct name is Dejate Sentir.
What a great surprise! Lizana is such an incredible musician. And by the way, the first NPR Tiny Desk artist i've listened to him in a live concert. :D
Excellent idea to bring Antonio to the Tiny Desk, didn't know this video! Just one thing NPR people: the set list is wrong, the first tune he plays is "Déjate Sentir" and then "Airegría".
Félix Contreras | 28 de abril de 2017 - En muchos sentidos, las tradiciones del flamenco y el jazz no podrían estar más alejadas, pero en manos de unos pocos músicos de jazz españoles, estos dos mundos se mezclan y encuentran puntos en común. Antonio Lizana es uno de esos músicos, saxofonista y vocalista con un pie firmemente plantado en cada tradición. Como vocalista, domina las improvisaciones moriscas que hacen que el canto flamenco sea tan seductor, mientras que la fluidez de ideas que expresa como saxofonista lo ubican en la tradición consagrada de componer mientras toca. La magia de la actuación de Lizana detrás del escritorio de Bob Boilen ocurre cuando los dos mundos musicales se entrelazan, como hebras helicoidales de ADN sónico. Uno no es mayor que el otro: complementos perfectos que apuntan a una raíz africana común.
The tittles of the frist two songs are in a wrong order. The first one is “Déjate sentir” and the second one “Airegria”. Antonio Lizana is a great performer, composer and singer.
I almost didn't watch because I thought it was going to be some BS musica jazz. But this performance is so pure, passionate, and precise. It is absolutely genius, even if it is foreign to your ears, it quickly becomes a mind trip, which you can feel even in the dulled down corners of your soul. Enjoy. Love . Peace.
Antonio Lizana un genio de la música española con acento andaluz genial, un músico completo, que voz tiene, muy potente, y como sopla,, es decir un virtuoso del instrumento,, muy bien acompañado
