LUCAS BALBO MASTERCLASS
Tuesday, November 17, flamenco percussionist from Barcelona
Casa de Arte, 331 Main St, Suite D, Vacaville, California
Born in Buenos Aires, Lucas Balbo brings an expansive approach to rhythm, rooted in flamenco and Afro-Latin traditions. A dynamic performer, he is a fixture on Barcelona’s tablao scene, where he has shared the stage with artists like Marco Flores, Mercedes de Córdoba, La Farruca, and Karime Amaya.
Balbo’s work ranges from tablao performances to jazz club jam sessions, where he leads Latin-inspired improvisations. In Cruces, his percussion becomes the heartbeat — sometimes subtle and intimate, other times explosive — connecting dancers, singers, and musicians with irresistible energy.
Lucas is a member of the Barcelona Guitar Trio. He has performed at the Palau de la Música Catalana, Festival de Jerez, and Festival Flamenco Madrid, and his career has taken him across five continents. A true expert of flamenco, he is known for his unique approach to dance accompaniment, and for his deep knowledge of compás, history, and cante.
