UK premiere of flamenco guitarist Daniel Martinez's new album and production, fusing flamenco guitar, singing and dance.
Daniel Martinez is back at the Exeter Corn Exchange on Friday 19 March 2027, bringing the UK premiere of his new album and production, Al Compas del Querer. It's a flamenco guitar-led show, but it doesn't stop there: he's performing with the Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company, so you'll have singing and dance on stage alongside the guitar.
This is the most personal thing he's done so far. The company describes it as a journey through the life of one of flamenco's most celebrated touring artists, following the people and moments that shaped him — from childhood and artistic discovery through illness, family and love. In flamenco, compas means rhythm, and the company says here it becomes the rhythm of life itself. It's also their most intimate production to date, which fits the more personal subject matter.
If you've followed his work over the last few years, this is the next chapter. Since 2023, the Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company has put on three productions: the debut album Art of Believing, which won the Herald Angel Award at the Edinburgh International Festival; Andalucia, which picked up widespread five-star reviews; and Art of Andalucia, which toured throughout 2025. Together they've played to over 120,000 people across the UK, and the company now has an international presence in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Ireland. Al Compas del Querer is the first new production to follow those.
