When you start asking around, you may be surprised to discover that soft-spoken Pepe Torres (Mor\u00f3n de la Frontera, 1978) is many people\u2019s favorite bailaor.\u00a0 <\/em>His serene flamenco presence bridges the zone from classic elegance to a point in the future others strive to reach through crazy perfect technique, and percussive fireworks.\u00a0 And the voice in your head says: no, that\u2019s not the path, flamenco is above that.<\/em><\/p>\n

In the text that follows, Pepe articulately explains his beginnings, his goals, concepts, inspiration and the inevitable fears that have become installed in the minds of performing artists everywhere.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

BEGINNINGS<\/strong><\/p>\n

All the memories that make up my childhood with flamenco are the reason I knew this was my life, and what I wanted to do.\u00a0 There is no greater gift that to feel and live out your passion.<\/p>\n

At the age of 3 or 4, they used to put me up on a table in my house, and my mother sang for me, my people, you know, in a gypsy home it\u2019s very common to encourage the children with rhythm, \u201clet\u2019s go, ole ole, get those arms up\u2026\u201d <\/em>It makes no difference if they dance well or not [laughter]<\/em>.\u00a0 I think I was born to dance, because as far back as I can remember, I loved it.\u00a0 Later on, I danced at the parties at home, self-taught until a bit later on, still a youngster, I began to take it seriously and learn from everything that surrounded me.\u00a0 At 12 I had my first jobs.\u00a0 Dance is inside of me as long as I can recall.<\/p>\n

No one ever said \u201cyou have to do this\u201d, never.\u00a0 I\u2019ve learned by doing it, very little formal training, mostly just watching a lot, racking my brains studying, many hours, many years!\u00a0 Living the art from an emotional stance, whenever I would see someone dance well, my legs would tremble.\u00a0 My advice to young people starting out is to prepare yourself, knowledge doesn\u2019t take up any room, but prepare yourself to know how to be around flamenco people, and how to listen, enjoy and learn from others.<\/p>\n

My inspiration always came from my family.\u00a0 We have the guitar of my uncle Diego del Gastor who is our identity.\u00a0 But there have also been great dancers and singers in the family, such as Pepe R\u00edos, a great maestro whom I was fortunate enough to see at family gatherings, the dancing of my uncle Andorrano, that of my aunt Ni\u00f1a Amparo who worked with Farruco, Rafael el Negro and Matilde Coral at the Guajiro in the nineteen-fifties. That way of dancing was a big influence, it\u2019s the fountain I drink from, in addition to my cousins Ram\u00f3n Barrul and Juana Amaya who made me love dance even more.\u00a0 Then I went on to look at many other sources that were out there to learn from, it\u2019s a lifetime commitment.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE FIESTAS <\/strong><\/p>\n

The informal gatherings are where we came from and where we\u2019re headed.\u00a0 There was always a lot of music at home, it was great.\u00a0 At Christmas we would go from house to house, great camaraderie.\u00a0 When my grandparents were alive, there was a great deal of activity of artists, fans and people from abroad, and always the little parties.\u00a0 I was with my aunts and uncles much of the time, like the first time my uncle Andorrano took me to the Candelaria, and Pedro Bac\u00e1n, la Ca\u00f1eta, Manolo Mairena, Manuel Moneo among others were there, and later on, we were often with Gaspar de Utrera, or seeing the first light of day with Fernanda and Bernarda on the avenue of the fair, everyone singing and dancing\u2026endless unforgettable moments with that generation, those maestros who are no longer with us, and the current ones as well, although it\u2019s not as common as before, because times have changed.\u00a0 But when we get together in Triana or Mor\u00f3n, or anywhere else, when the moment comes together, we\u2019re there and we learn from each other and have a great time.\u00a0 Fiestas are necessary, it\u2019s all about sharing.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

IMPROVISATION<\/strong><\/p>\n

Improvisation is fundamental so we can all fly free.\u00a0 I improvise about 80 percent of the time I\u2019d say, but don\u2019t think the other 20 percent is unimportant, it represents many hours of rehearsing alone, or with other artists, and a great deal of creative brain-storming about what you want to communicate and express.\u00a0 Especially when it\u2019s your own show of an hour and a half, many months of work go into that.\u00a0 Then when you\u2019re out on stage, improvisation is absolutely necessary within the scheme of things, and always a guiding thread which is flamenco.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

LOVE OF FLAMENCO SINGING<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have the genetic makeup of my grandfather Joselero, the memory of his warmth, like that of a father, as he always was for me, I was very small when he passed, but living with him certainly enabled my great love of cante. As children we absorb everything incredibly, I have his voice engrained in my being, my grandfather Joselero is my weakness, and as time passes, I feel this more and more, and I need to listen to him singing and talking.<\/p>\n

My Torres side of the family are from La Puebla and Osuna, a line of singers.\u00a0 On my grandmother\u2019s side, the Amayas of the negros de Ronda, I suppose all these things were a powerful influence in my love of flamenco singing.\u00a0 Since childhood I\u2019ve also loved the singing of Perrate, Juan Talega, Manolito de Mar\u00eda, Fernanda, Camar\u00f3n, Chocolate, Tom\u00e1s Pav\u00f3n, Pastora\u2026\u00a0 I had the taste of a little old man [laughter], <\/em>it wasn\u2019t normal for such a young child as I was.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2026AND OF THE GUITAR<\/strong><\/p>\n

The guitar is also my passion, six or seven hours a day listening to my uncle Diego de Mor\u00f3n [nephew of Diego del Gastor, son of Joselero], <\/em>because I grew up in his house.\u00a0 I went to bed and woke up hearing guitar, I owe him the love and respect I have for the instrument.\u00a0 When you\u2019re in love with flamenco dancing, guitar and singing, all this 24 hours a day going through your head, it becomes an obsession [laughter], <\/em>there aren\u2019t enough hours in the day.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE INFLUENCE OF THE GREATS<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m crazy for the art of Anzonini, Paco Valdepe\u00f1as, Andorrano, Funi, Marsell\u00e9s, el Mono\u2026the festeros<\/em>, there\u2019s a lot to be learned from them, and they\u2019ve always inspired me, I love them.<\/p>\n

As a child, I spent some time studying with Manolo Mar\u00edn.\u00a0 I learned things with him that have served me well over the years, but the in-person maestro who most influenced me was Antonio Montoya \u201cFarruco\u201d, with whom I was fortunate enough to have classes.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been devoted to Farruco since even before seeking him out as a teacher, he\u2019s always been a very important figure for me.<\/p>\n

Y <\/u>con el baile de Rafael el Negro tambi\u00e9n muero, cada d\u00eda me gusta m\u00e1s y trato de aprender de su forma de bailar y estar en el escenario, el arte puro de Triana, elegante y muy gitano. \u00a0Me han inspirado muchos artistas, casas bailaoras como las de Angelita Vargas y su familia, Manuela Carrasco y su familia, pero si tengo que decir as\u00ed r\u00e1pido tres bailaores que he seguido mucho son El Tio Farruco, Ramon Barrul\u00a0 y Juan Ram\u00edrez entre otros grandes.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m also devoted to the dancing of Rafael el Negro, more and more every day, and I try to learn from his way of dancing, and his stage presence, the essence of Triana, elegant and very gypsy. Many artists have inspired me, families such as those of Angelita Vargas, Manuela Carrasco, but if I have to quickly come up with the names three dancers, they would be Farruco, Ram\u00f3n Barrul and Juan Ram\u00edrez.<\/p>\n

My cousins were like brothers and sisters, we all grew up together on the same street.\u00a0 My uncle Andorrano, although he\u2019s long been retired from the profession, is singing better than ever now, with his voice in great shape and the knowledge that comes from years of experience.\u00a0 In the privacy of the family we can get him to sing siguiriiyas of el Loco Mateo, or things his father Joselero used to sing, or Juan Talega, or buler\u00edas.\u00a0 People sometimes tell me I look like him dancing.\u00a0 I love him, he\u2019s my artistic guide. He took me out to dance the first time in the Gazpacho festival when I was a child, and El Pele sang for me. In later years, after the Gazpachos, we would go out to a place on the outskirts of Mor\u00f3n where the fiesta would continue all night with Gaspar de Utrera, Fernanda\u2026 \u00a0One morning the sun came up with the guitar of Diego de Mor\u00f3n and the dancing of Juana, the sister of Pepa de Utrera.\u00a0 These are things you never forget.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

FARRUQUITO<\/strong><\/p>\n

Juan Farruquito is a genius of flamenco dance, he\u2019s been touched with a magic wand. I worked with him nearly 20 years ago.\u00a0 We toured the United States, a great tour, and the times I\u2019ve been able to share the stage with him, I\u2019ve learned a great deal from his dancing and his way of being, for me it was sheer pleasure to be with a dancer I\u2019d admired since childhood, who has influenced my generation and in the younger one as well, in all flamenco.\u00a0 He keeps the dream of this art alive.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSON DE LA FRONTERA\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

People ask me what happened with Son de la Frontera <\/em>(music group founded in 1998).\u00a0 That was a very nice project, we had a lot of work in the most important national and international festivals, we rubbed shoulders with great musicians, made two recordings, we received prizes for the records, the live performances, a nomination for the Latin Grammys, named by the BBC, Best Flamenco Group of the Year, performances at the most important theaters such as the Royal Albert Hall, toured the world from South America to the United States, Europe and Spain, wherever we went the audience was vibrating with excitement.\u00a0 I think they saw and felt what a good time we had on stage.\u00a0 We got involved in the world of the recording industry with Nuevos Medios, the late Mario Pacheco who helped us a lot.\u00a0 It was an intense time of promos, concerts, press conferences\u2026about 8 years in all.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A COMPANY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ever since 2004, I began mounting large format shows in France, Spain and the United States where I presented my show El Baile Flamenco de Pepe Torres <\/em>in New York, thanks to Nina Men\u00e9ndez at the Festival Flamenco Gitano.\u00a0 A group of 15 people including musicians, guest artists, sound and lighting technicians. I\u2019ve taken my own company to festivals such as those of Nimes, Mont de Marsan, Albuquerque, Suma Flamenca en Madrid, just to name a few.\u00a0 But if we\u2019re talking about a company in the sense of institutional support to carry out bigger, more costly shows, I\u2019ve never had that kind of backing to do shows and express my ideas, everything\u2019s been self-produced.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE AVANT GARDE<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a professional in this, I more or less keep up to date regarding developments in the world of flamenco dance.\u00a0 Other tendencies, I don\u2019t actually follow that much, there are some things I like more than others, but always within my own personal taste, and from the point of respect deserved by every performing artist who devotes a lifetime to this.\u00a0 I would never dare to do anything removed from what I know and feel, I\u2019d be fooling myself and the audience, and what we need today in flamenco is honesty. I\u2019ll keep fighting to put my grain of sand, which may be better or worse, but always I can say that what I do is called \u201cflamenco\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

TABLAO OR THEATER?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It depends on the moment.\u00a0 The tablao is your day-to-day work, I\u2019ve been working in tablaos all my life, mostly in Los Gallos in Seville, which has been like my second home, the place where, night after night, I\u2019ve measured myself and learned a great deal from all the other artists.\u00a0 The tablao makes you get cracking, that\u2019s why it\u2019s so important, aside from being your income.\u00a0 For artists, it\u2019s a way of maturing artistically. But in a theater, there\u2019s a special magic, an expansiveness that lets you move around the stage and dance for a different kind of audience, it\u2019s another atmosphere.\u00a0 But without a doubt, there are magical moments in either place.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE COVID CRISIS<\/strong><\/p>\n

If I don\u2019t dance I feel like something is missing, which is why, with what we\u2019re going through now, it\u2019s very difficult emotionally, because dance is my life.<\/p>\n

This year 2020 was shaping up great, with seven summer festivals signed, a tour of Japan, and in September we were going to be in Fernando Gonz\u00e1lex Caballos\u2019 festival where I was going to dance one night with Farruquito and Jos\u00e9 Maya, and another night with Juan de Juan and Jairo Barrul, but with the Covid situation, everything was put on hold.\u00a0 I can only hope that later on we pick up where we left off.<\/p>\n

Now we\u2019re going to be at the III Bienal de Arte Flamenco Canela de San Roque<\/em> with the Pa\u00f1eros and the Canela family on October 10th<\/sup>.\u00a0 For the end of October I\u2019ve also got an interesting thing in Madrid, but we\u2019re waiting to hear how things go.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s very worrisome.\u00a0 The health concerns, so many victims, and you wonder, how can I protect myself and others?\u00a0 I also worry about people\u2019s mental and spiritual health.\u00a0 What\u2019s going to happen in the world of culture?\u00a0 So many people who make a living from this and who are out of work, but worst of all is not knowing when there\u2019ll be a return to normalcy,<\/p>\n

I hope we\u2019re able to adapt to the time. I\u2019ve been giving online classes for Japan since the pandemic began, because I have a lot of fans there who understand what I do, but it\u2019s too early to draw conclusions.<\/p>\n

Every day I pray that things return to the way it was before.\u00a0 Young artists are seeing their artistic process interrupted.\u00a0 We all have to fight for flamenco, and not fall into despair, because the feeling of joy is fundamental for creativity.\u00a0 I\u2019m trying to take advantage of this downtime to prepare a show I\u2019d like to present next year, if health and circumstances permit.<\/p>\n

Right now, if I had to dance, somewhere, to tell the truth, it\u2019s a little scary.\u00a0 But aside from having to work in order to survive, I feel obligated to do it for flamenco which gives me so much, and is my life.<\/p>\n
