His work is admired for an embodiment of Flamenco’s deep traditions and as the leader in the contemporary development of the art form. Tomatito's sextet includes Jose del Tomate on guitar, Pirana on percussion, Kiki Cortinas and Morenito de Illora as vocalists, and Jose Maya who is one of the most enigmatic flamenco dancer of today.The performance will take place at Wilshire Ebell Theatre, 4401 West 8th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90005, United States.
