His world-first live show is not just a performance but a beloved experience that has been previously viewed and adored by many.
As a review of this remarkable show, it’s worth noting that Flamenco-Electro is not your regular show. It’s an extraordinary blend of time-honoured Flamenco with progressive Electronica, beautifully evolving from traditional to modern-day spirit of the music. This evolution is showcased through an incredible display of Traditional Flamenco, Progressive Flamenco (Gypsy Kings Style), Flamenco House, Vocals, Flamenco Dance, and Modern Contemporary Dance.
Critics have been captivated by this groundbreaking performance. One critic exclaimed, “Brilliant! Flamenco-Electro takes the audience on a breathtaking journey from the traditional to the modern era of Flamenco.” Another praised its fusion, saying, “An amazing blend between music and dance. The dancers gracefully move with charisma and beauty to a masterful guitarist accompanied by other highly skillful musicians.” The innovative approach of the show was also highlighted: “A clever twist between the modern and traditional. The show has an interesting take on the history of Flamenco making great use of dancers, vocals and technology in conjunction with a highly skillful Flamenco Guitarist.”
Introducing Rizk is like unveiling an innovative artist ever-ready to pave a new path in musical genres. As the Electro Flamenco Director, Producer and Flamenco Guitarist, Rizk’s excitement about presenting the 60-minute spectacle is palpable.
Rizk, a seasoned pro in both Electro and Flamenco, intertwines heartfelt inspirations, innovation, and over 30 years of performance in one stellar show. It’s a journey of love for Flamenco and Electronica, merged into ‘Spanish Guitar Fusion’ as Rizk calls it. This fusion is not only captivating audiences but is also fast heating up the contemporary music stage.
