Kiki Morente: Albayzín
- On Wednesday, April 1 at 8 pm. Buy tickets.
- At Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts, 500 Castro St, Mountain View, CA 94041.
Vocalist Kiki Morente, from a renowned musical family, performs songs from his first solo album, Albayzín, an homage in many ways to his father, Enrique Morente. The name “Albayzín” refers to the historic Gypsy neighborhood of Granada, the Morente family’s home. In this intensely personal musical exploration, Morente shows his work to be steeped in classical tradition, but also full of bold contemporary innovation –much like the city of Granada itself.
