When talents as formidable as Michel Camilo and Tomatito get together to make music this is an event. These two distinct voices from different musical worlds reunite on Spain Forever, a scintillating musical conversation between two masters. Camilo, a brilliant pianist and prolific composer, is renowned for combining rich jazz harmonies with the Caribbean flavors and rhythms of his native Dominican Republic. Discovered at an early age by Paco de Lucía, Tomatito is the premier flamenco guitarist of his generation and has accompanied Spain\'s greatest flamenco singers including the legendary Camarón de la Isla. Navigating the boundaries of jazz and flamenco, Camilo and Tomatito create an experience that is both unique and unforgettable. With over 40 concerts performed together by the summer of 1999, a studio album was inevitable, so they to record the 2000 Latin Grammy® Award winning album Spain. After their wonderful reunion at the North Sea Jazz Festival In 2005, they both agreed it was time to explore the second chapter of their shared musical adventure and recorded Spain Again which awarded the Premio de la Música 2008 for Best Jazz Album. The last project of the duo, Spain Forever marks the reunion of two good friends who decided to play together 40 concerts in 15 different countries, see how far they could take it and see how much they could discover about themselves.
