Cantaor Tomás de Perrate, Perrate for short, is a unique voice in contemporary flamenco. He carries on the lineage of a ‘gitano’ family dynasty from Utrera that has produced legendary singers. With his deep timbre and raw lamento, he effortlessly switches between undiluted ‘cante jondo’ and new musical horizons. In his latest project ‘Tres Golpes’ – Three Beats – Perrate presents a totally unique interpretation of age-old flamenco styles such as tonás, romances, seguiriyas and seguidillas. He masterfully connects them to new vocal experiments, and also delves deep into popular baroque music styles such as folías, chaconas and jácaras. The album, produced by Raül Refree (known from Rosalía), was voted best flamenco album of the year by the Spanish newspaper El País. In a dream combo with master guitarist Alfredo Lagos, Perrate performs ‘Tres Golpes_Redux’ in concert: a timeless journey through the history of the flamenco. Special guest Leonor Leal frames this musical trip with sure-fire dance drawings. With percussionist Antonio Moreno the trio becomes a quartet. Leonor Leal dance, Perrate vocals, Alfredo Lagos guitar, Antonio Moreno percussion “Every note, every gesture across Tres Golpes is deeply felt, part of an artistic legacy that reaches back across the centuries. Yes, this is flamenco, but not as you have ever heard it before. Tres Golpes is ambient, dissonant and raw, as it breaks free of the genre’s constraints to create a groundbreaking album of avant European music-making.” – Klof Mag
