A music whose roots are flamenco but in which at times we will listen to jazz, blues or classical music, which leads it to excite and surprise the public that listens to it far from labels. A unique style: El Piano de Chico Pérez There will be those who find “Continente 27” not very flamenco for a genuine Andalusian, there will be those who take it for little jazzy for a boy who allowed himself the audacity to honor the American Dave Grusin with the title of his first LP, "Gruserías" (2019). And in that apparent lack of definition lies the grace, the singularity. The genius in first person. “Continente 27” is the very plausible consecration of Pérez as one of the figures of the new flamenco jazz. He is the great sensation at the piano, the heir to the thrones of Dorantes and Chano Domínguez” Fernando Neira – El País CHICO PÉREZ Talent, instinct and emotion Pianist, performer and composer. He was born into a family of musicians, which led him to get on stage at the early age of 6. At the age of 28 and after the success of his first work "Gruserías", of which he sold more than 3,000 records in a tour of almost 60 concerts, the pianist from Jaén has become a revelation of music in our country. It is consolidated with "Continente 27", where artists of the stature of Manuel Lombo, Arcángel, Rosario "La Tremendita", Sandra Carrasco or Antonio Serrano have collaborated. Recognized as one of the musicians with the most projection on the music scene, he has gone through the most important jazz festivals in our country, hanging the SOLD OUT poster at the Madrid International Jazz Festival, 57th Jazzaldía Festival in San Sebastián, Jazz Festival in Cartagena or the #SesiónB jazz festival in Burgos. Chico Pérez brings us original music that looks for its roots in flamenco to meet contemporary interpretation. Moments of jazz improvisation, classical compositional structures or soulful melodies intertwine to create a unique style. “Continente 27” has been produced together with his brother, the flamenco guitarist Luis Víctor Pérez. Together they have created this musical universe in which we will find instruments such as synthesizers, string quartet, electric bass, drums or soul and flamenco voices accompanying the main protagonist, the piano. Within the concert tours that he has carried out in theaters and festivals throughout Spain, he has shared the bill with artists such as Diego Amador, Israel Fernández, Chucho Valdés, Pat Metheny, Arcángel, Dorantes, Farruquito, Tomatito, Ron Carter, Rocío Marquez, Andrea Motis, Antonio Lizana, etc. In 2022 he has been nominated at the Music Awards (MIN Awards) in the category of Best Flamenco Album and selected among more than 240 applicants as "Jazz Artist Eñe 2022". In addition, in 2018 he obtained the RTVE Young Talent and Artist Award and in 2019 with his first album "Gruserías" he was named by the newspaper El País as one of the best flamenco albums of the year.
