About this show

Arco y Olvide marks a new chapter in the artistic journey of Lebanese-New Zealander flamenco guitarist and composer Paul Bosauder. Shaped by sixteen years of living in Spain and studying with some of the leading artists of the flamenco tradition, the album reflects a personal language developed slowly through immersion, discipline, memory and distance. Rooted in traditional flamenco forms, Paul’s music draws from the deep vocabulary of Andalucía while allowing his own melodies, harmonies and sense of space to emerge with honesty and restraint.The album traces a line through time, place and experience. It is both a homage to the Spanish maestros, guitarists and composers who shaped the landscape of flamenco, and a deeply personal reflection on what it means to find one’s own voice within such a rich and demanding tradition. Through the unedited tone of the Spanish flamenco guitar, Arco y Olvide evokes contrasting Andalusian colours: warmth, nostalgia, solitude, movement and light.Recorded in Morón de la Frontera and produced by renowned Spanish producer Domi Serralbo, the album brings together an exceptional group of collaborators, including award-winning Indian bansuri flautist Lara Wong, flamenco singer Rosario Amador, and renowned percussionist Javier Ktumba.…
