ABOUT THE ARTISTS

RAFAEL CAMPALLO, DANCER

Rafael Campallo is a prominent flamenco dancer born in Seville and renowned for his energetic, playful style. He began studying flamenco dance at age 11 with flamenco masters José Galván and Manolo Marín in Seville, and was performing professionally at the age of 16. He rose to fame after winning the “Desplante” award at the prestigious competition of young artists at the La Unión Flamenco Festival in 1999.  He has since performed across Spain and in Japan and collaborated with important flamenco artists, such as guitarist Vicente Amigo and dancer María Pagés. He formed his own company, which has presented work at the acclaimed Seville Biennial flamenco festival. Offstage, his dancing has been featured in the didactic series “Solo Compás,” used by professionals, teachers, and students worldwide for decades, and he has taught at the Cristina Heeren Foundation in Seville.

DIEGO AMADOR, JR., SINGER

Diego Amador, Jr., was born in the 3000 Viviendas neighborhood of Seville and is part of a family that has had a great influence on flamenco. He began working professionally as a percussionist, then became a multi-instrumentalist and composer, and later emerged as a highly sought-after  professional flamenco singer. He has accompanied many of the most influential artists, such as guitarist Tomatito, dancer Joaquín Cortés, and singer La Susi. He has collaborated with leading jazz figures, such as Path Metheny, Birelli Lagrene, and Charlie Haden. He has published several singles and albums. His father, Diego Amador, directed his first album, “Presente en el tiempo.”

JUANI DE LA ISLA, GUITARIST

Juani de la Isla is a world-class flamenco guitarist from the island of San Fernando, near the port city of Cádiz in southern Spain. The nephew of renowned singer Alvaro Aguilar “Aguichan,” Juani began his musical education studying with the great flamenco singer Rafael Romero and has been a student of the celebrated flamenco guitarist Manolo Sanlúcar. Juani de la Isla has also been trained in the Gypsy flamenco style of “Morón,” a small town in the heart of Andalucía where flamenco originated.

He has toured three continents accompanying some of the finest flamenco artists of this century, such as singers Jose Mercé and Pansequito, as well as dancers Javier Barón, Sara Baras and Manuela Carrasco. He has composed music for the flamenco dance company of Cristina Hoyos and for over a decade has been the musical director for the popular flamenco singer “El Barrio.”

He is the founder of the musical group “The Juani de la Isla Quartet” featuring performers from Spain, Latin America and the USA. He is a nominee for the Outstanding Achievement in Music at the Isadora Duncan Izzie’ Awards for his captivating musical composition for the production “UnMundo Sin Tiempo.”

His recording career includes participation on more than 300 albums with some of Spain’s finest flamenco artists. In 2015, he released his first solo album “Libertad En Mis Manos.”
