Connoisseurs describe Miguel Poveda as an artist of huge talent, always looking for innovation
and at the same time keeping a deep respect for tradition.
His ultimate record “Tierra de calma” is
very representative of that ambition in his art. That time his going back to the roots of
Flamenco(and own familiar roots) collaborating with the elegant Andalusian composer and
tocaor(guitarist) Juan Carlos Romero who worked with leading artists such as Estrella Morente
and also made the movie soundtracks of Sevillanas and Flamenco by Carlos Saura.
“Tierra de calma” is a trip to the land of flamenco to rediscover the coplas and other
malagueñas that made of the flamenco, the art it is today.
The lyrics of Juan Carlos Romero and Jose Luis Ortis Nuevo are enlighten by the shiny voice of
the Cantaor(singer) and the notes of Romero, played with the same desperate energy of the
original flamenco tradition. Miguel Poveda is doing a musical and introspective journey trough time and space to his “Tierra de calma” (land of calm) with the same modernity and subtlety that always characterizes him and he makes us feel all the love and respect he has for his art and for the land from where the flamenco and himself find their roots.
