“Flamarabenco” was formed in Patras, Greece in 2011, with the idea to trace and join together the common roots and sounds of the Arabic and flamenco music genres. Its members Yiannis Panayiotopoulos (oud, lyra), Georgios Barakos (percussion) and Andreas Kikinas (flamenco guitar), coming from different musical backgrounds, share a vision for combining diverse musical styles all influenced or inspired by Andalusian sounds.
