Pierre Jarriges

From the root of a traditional flamenco guitar, Pierre cultivates a unique personal universe: The fruit of a composite identity, marked by the living culture of flamenco and its musical language, his research is also imbued with diverse influences, from the refinement of baroque music to the squeaks of current music, passing through the swaying suppleness of Latin American sounds.

Jose-Luis Balao (1938-2023) was a master of flamenco guitar from Jerez de la Frontera. A prolific composer, he left behind more than 200 works.

As a former student of Balao and passionate about his work, Pierre has incorporated this repertoire into his personal project and performs many of his pieces. He hopes to contribute to sharing the vibrant world of this great artist.
