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.
Juan Amaya “El Pelón” is a dancer from the prestigious Amaya family, a reference in contemporary flamenco. With training that combines the rigor of masters like Farruco and Manolo Marín with his own self-taught pursuit, he has created a distinctive style, praised by both audience and critics.
His career has taken him to collaborate with artists of the caliber of Paco de Lucía, Farruquito, and Olga Pericet. He has been choreographer in internationally acclaimed shows and regularly appears in the most prestigious tablaos in Madrid, Barcelona, and abroad — Cardamomo Flamenco Madrid, Tablao Cordobés, Los Tarantos, and even Tokyo.
His dance is technique, emotion, and pure movement. Precision without artifice, controlled intensity, flamenco as it should be.
