José Maya on stage at Tablao Flamenco 1911
This week, one of the most powerful names in contemporary flamenco shines once again on our stage: José Maya.
At Tablao Flamenco 1911, welcoming Potito means opening the doors to one of the brightest chapters of contemporary flamenco singing.
The history of flamenco cannot be written without mentioning the impact caused by the emergence of Antonio Vargas Cortés “Potito”. Born in Seville and heir to a lineage of artists, his “crystal and bronze” voice quickly caught the attention of the greatest figures in history. Discovered through the insight of Pepe de Lucía and artistically sponsored by the universal genius Paco de Lucía, Potito became a phenomenon that brought back to flamenco singing a freshness and an almost mystical depth.
Throughout his career, Potito has woven his art alongside the names that define the genre. From his historic recordings produced by the De Lucía family to his collaborations with Tomatito, Vicente Amigo, or the late Enrique Morente, his echo has always been synonymous with excellence. His ability to shape the lament and his absolute command of time place him among that Olympus of flamenco singers who need no artifice to move the audience; his truth lies in the purity of his dedication.
When Potito steps onto the stage at Plaza de Santa Ana, the flamenco ritual reaches its highest expression. At Tablao Flamenco 1911, the oldest tablao in the world, his presence takes on a special meaning: it is the meeting between a stage rich in tradition and a voice that is living history itself.
Seeing Potito in our venue is not merely attending a concert; it is taking part in an event where tradition reveals itself in an honest, wild, and elegant way. A moment reserved for those seeking true flamenco, the kind that cannot be explained, but changes you forever from within.
