He scours the stages, dialogue with multiple artists (Samuelito, Kiko Ruiz, Lydie Fuerte, Vincent Loukas, Vicente Pradal…) then goes back wihout settle his quest to the absolute flamenco. Profound and inflexible on tradition, Juan Manuel is a fine composer, a distinguished interpetor, energetic, an expert of the « compas », able to perform with finess and subtility all the panel of flamenco repertory.
