JUANITO PASCUAL flamenco guitar
ALI BOULO SANTO CISSOKO African harp, voice
VOLKER GOETZE trumpet, flugelhorn
By sensitively and skillfully interweaving improvised trumpet and flamenco guitar with traditional mandinka kora and vocals from Senegal, FlamenKora creates timeless and enchanting multicultural music; a welcome balm in these troubled times.
Volker Goetze’s evocative trumpet lines dance gracefully with the soulful vocals and kora of his newest duo partner, the esteemed master of traditional Mande music – Ali Boulo Santo Cissoko. Flamenco guitar maestro Juanito Pascual adding authentic Spanish flair with driving rhythms and subtle, imaginative colors. As the group’s founder and producer, Goetze brings a special wisdom to FlamenKora, acquired not only through decades of devotion to West African Mande music, but also through a deep mastery of jazz composition and arrangement and a recent deep dive into the melodic and rhythmic traditions of flamenco.
This year, FlamenKora embarks on a creative journey at the Manship Artists Residency, rehearsing and recording their highly anticipated follow-up album. Alongside their new trio compositions, they will also present selections from SARGAL, a breathtaking new duo album from Ali Boulo Santo Cissoko and Volker Goetze, set for release June 2025.
