Jesse Cook with Special Guest Amanda Martinez at the Luminato Festival in Toronto

Paris-born guitarist and composer has earned legendary status as the foremost, and most gifted, proponent of the nouveau flamenco movement, blending flamenco with rumba and jazz to achieve a singularly dazzling sound. For his Luminato Festival debut, Cook will be joined on two songs by Toronto-based singer-songwriter Amanda Martinez, whose own flamenco fieriness draws on Mexican and South African influences. Luminato Festival is Toronto’s international multi-arts festival for people open to having art change their outlook on the world. Join us June 19-28, 2015. Follow us: Facebook: Twitter:
