[vc_row][vc_column width=’1\/2′]This week in Solera Flamenca, we bring you the guitar of Mercedes Luj\u00e1n, considered the best female guitarist in flamenco today, who comes to present her next album “Ahora o Nunca”. Her playing radiates strength and sensitivity, two attributes difficult to find in the same artist. Her technique is precise and clean and her body expression transmits a surprising sensation of comfort and ease while playing, an unmistakable sign of total mastery of the instrument.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mercedes Sanguiao Horneros, Mercedes Luj\u00e1n, is a flamenco guitarist from Lorca and was born in 1987. She is the daughter of flamenco agitator Luis Terry and copla singer Rosa Mar\u00eda Luj\u00e1n. Her love of music began to manifest as a child, as she accompanied her mother on her performances and tours around Spain. Her paternal grandfather, the famous Jerez guitarist Maestro “Palmita”, who was awarded by the Chair of Flamencology of Jerez de la Frontera and was a pupil of the master Javier Molina, passed on his love of flamenco to her.<\/p>\n

In 2017, Antonio Benamargo, “an angel who came into my life”, convinced her to perform at the Festival de Flamenco Joven de Madrid, and she did so alongside colleagues of the stature of Jos\u00e9 del Tomate and Rosal\u00eda, with whom she shared the stage. It was then when Luj\u00e1n realised that playing the flamenco guitar was what she really loved and that “no one could have got me out of the stage, not even with hot water”.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Her work, as it usually does, has paid off, and after performing on stages as important as the \u2018Festival Internacional de Cante Flamenco\u2019 in Lo Ferro or touring with Valderrama in his \u201cMujeres de carne y verso\u201d tour, Mercedes Luj\u00e1n took the leap and decided to pursue solo concert guitar playing.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column][vc_column width=’1\/2′]She has performed his art in many cities, both nationally and internationally: Teatro Villamarta in Jerez de la Frontera, Teatro Romea in Murcia, Teatro L\u00f3pez de Ayala in Badajoz, Teatro de Mol\u00edns de Rei (Barcelona), Teatro Espa\u00f1ol in San Miguel de Tucum\u00e1n (Argentina), Teatro de Lodz (Poland), etc.<\/p>\n

She has shared the stage with numerous flamenco singers and artists of the stature of Lu\u00eds Aguil\u00e9, Mariana Cornejo, Chano Lobato, Fosforito, Juanito Valderrama and India Mart\u00ednez, among others. She has also participated in the documentary film Tocaoras, a film that unveils to the world the invisible role of the female guitarist.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Without further ado, we leave you with “Ahora o nunca”, a beautiful song with a buler\u00eda rhythm that also gives title to her first album as a soloist. In this luxury production, we see the artist accompanied by the percussion of David Dom\u00ednguez and the vocals of Joaqu\u00edn G\u00f3mez “El Duende”. In this recording, Mercedes Luj\u00e1n has used a guitar made by Felipe Conde Crespo in the year 2021, the n\u00ba51<\/strong><\/a><\/span> a guitar with duende<\/em> and magic, just like the playing of our artist.<\/p>\n
