Classroom 2

Regarding the presentation of Tercer cieloby Rocío Márquez + Bronquio in the Cartographies of Music series, the flamenco singer stars in this session on flamenco, accompanied by Nieves Acedo, the museum's program director.

Continuing along the lines of last year's course, in How to do things with... we continue to explore the processes involved in creating contemporary art projects.

THE ARTIST

Hailed by the press as "the voice of the new generation of cante jondo," Rocío Márquez (Huelva, 1985) has spent more than a decade building a solid artistic career that now extends beyond the flamenco scene, where she is already a clear reference point and established figure. Her restless personality and enormous curiosity are evident in her discography, which shows us both her great love for the flamenco tradition and an urgent need to expand the boundaries of that same tradition, exploring and experimenting with melodies, instrumentation, arrangements, and lyrics.

Thus, from that fresh DVD recorded live at Aquí y ahora (2009) to Omnia Vincit Amor ( 2020), we find a bouquet of albums with which she has consolidated her artistic discourse and garnered the recognition of her fans. For Visto en El Jueves ( 2019), she won the Les Victoires du Jazz award for best world music album, becoming the first Spanish artist to do so. This recognition adds to other important awards such as the Lámpara Minera at the Festival de La Unión and the Giraldillo for Innovation at the Seville Biennial, among many others.

At the same time, Márquez has a busy live concert schedule, combining different formats and styles as he tours constantly. Beyond the flamenco and classical circuits, he is a regular at indie and pop/rock events such as Primavera Sound and Monkey Week, as well as on the contemporary creative scene, performing at Matadero Madrid and the CCCB in Barcelona. He collaborates with musicians as diverse as Jorge Drexler, Kiko Veneno, Raül Refree, Niño de Elche, Christina Rosenvinge, and Albert Plá, among others.
