Al Compas Del Querer - Flamenco

If you are looking for something different to do this winter, the Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company is bringing their latest production, Al Compas Del Querer, to the stage. This show marks the UK premiere of Martinez’s new album and production for 2027. Having followed his work through previous shows like Art of Believing, Andalucia, and Art of Andalucia, it is interesting to see this shift toward a more personal narrative. Martinez describes this as his most intimate production yet, where each composition is dedicated to a specific person or a particular chapter in his own life, covering themes ranging from his childhood and artistic discovery to his experiences with illness and love.

The tour includes several stops across the country, with a performance scheduled in Brighton on 28 February 2027. If you are planning to head to The Old Market for that date, doors open at 18:45, with the performance running from 19:30 until 21:30. Tickets for the Brighton show are priced at £32 plus booking fees. It is worth noting that while the event is open to all ages, anyone under 16 will need to be accompanied by an adult. For those looking at other locations, such as Reading Town Hall, tickets are available at £32.50, and the general start time for performances across the tour is 19:30.

What makes this production stand out is the structure of the performance itself. It is not just a concert; it combines guitar, singing, and dance to tell a story. It feels like a departure from the larger-scale productions the company has done in the past, focusing instead on the specific moments that shaped Martinez’s career and the formation of his company. Whether you are a long-time fan of flamenco or just curious about how an artist translates personal history into music and movement, this show offers a clear look into that creative process. It is a straightforward, narrative-driven performance that relies on the connection between the music and the personal stories behind each piece.
