Farruquito returns. Following his incarceration and still serving a third-degree sentence, the Sevillian bailaor resumes his professional career. And he does so with the premiere of the show ‘Puro’ on July 24th, 2008 at Palma Arena in Palma de Mallorca. The artist is going to bare his baile, surrounding himself with an impressive troupe of cantaores and musicians. Standing out among them are Juan José Amador, La Tana and Encarna Anillo on vocals; Antonio Rey and Juan Requena on toque; and the collaboration of a guest as special as Manuel Molina is. Moreover, for the first time he includes instruments such as the piano of Jumitus, the violin of Bernardo Parrilla and the percussion of Isidro Suárez. Zapateado, seguiriya, taranto, soleá and alegrías are some of the styles which make up this new repertoire.
