Early career

[edit]

Rafael Riqueni gave his first concerts at age twelve, at the Educación y Descanso Festivals.[14] At age thirteen, he stood out during a solo concert at a flamenco festival in Teatro Lope de Vega.[17] One year later, in 1977, Riqueni won the Ramón Montoya concert guitar prize at VIII Concurso de Arte Flamenco de Córdoba, causing a big impression with his performance,[14] y del VI Certamen Nacional de Guitarra de Jerez de la Frontera,[18] considerados los dos principales premios nacionales de guitarra.[4] La consecución de los mismos fue el comienzo de su carrera profesional,[15] una de sus principales cualidades era la búsqueda de un estilo personal y alejado de las escuelas dominantes en la guitarra flamenca.[19]

In 1979, he toured with Isabel Pantoja's company.[20] In 1981, he again won first prize in the X Jerez National guitar contest.[21] In 1982, he was on tour with Rocío Jurado.[22]

In 1984, he took part in the III Bienal de Flamenco de Sevilla opening concert, where he played “Sevilla “ from Albéniz along four compositions of his own. In that same Bienal de Flamenco edition, he was one of the finalist contenders for the Giraldillo del Toque guitar contest, along with Tomatito, Pedro Bacán, Jose Antonio Rodríguez, Paco del Gastor and Manolo Franco, who won the contest.[23]

As part of the V Cordoba International guitar festival, in 1985, Riqueni offered a concert together with Manolo Franco and Enrique de Melchor under the name of Jovenes Figuras de la Guitarra Flamenca.[24] That same year, Riqueni participated in the II Madrid Cumbre Flamenca Festival with the show Luces de Chacón, together with Enrique Morente, Carmen Linares and Manolo Sanlúcar among other artists.[25] During the III Cumbre Flamenca Festival, he gave a concert together with José Antonio Rodriguez y Gerardo Núñez, under the name of Empujando.[26] Also in 1986, Riqueni played a solo concert in the Los Veranos de la Villa Festival in Madrid,[27] and offered two solo concerts in the Fráncfort Opera Theater.[28]

Juego de Niños (1986)

[edit]

Riqueni published his first record in 1986, Juego de Niños, with producer Ricardo Pachón, who was well known for his previous work with Camarón de la Isla among other important flamenco artists. The flamenco guitar specialist Norberto Torres stated in his book that Juego de Niños is suggesting a new and different musical order for flamenco”, this album also settled the basis for Rafael Riqueni's style. One of the most prominent pieces is ”Al Niño Miguel”, a tribute to the late guitar player from Huelva, Norberto Torres said ” The intro part of this piece is a total new concept for Fandango (flamenco style), Riqueni was using minor key harmonies before going for the cadencia andaluza".[29]

Flamenco (1987)

[edit]

In 1987, and as a foreign policies ministry endorsement, Riqueni was representing Spain for a series of International music festivals, he also toured in Germany. During this German tour, he was offered there to record an album with the same music he was playing in concert,[30] and Flamenco became his second album, a solo guitar record. The famous flamenco producer José Manuel Gamboa said in his book that: Flamenco is a real lesson on flamenco playing and composition. The Minera (flamenco style) included in the album, is probably the best Minera in history”,[15] and Norberto Torres in Historia de la Guitarra Flamenca said that “Riqueni made a real solo guitar record, without overdubs, he showed to aficionados and specially to guitar players, all his virtuous qualities as a composer and concert player. This album contains true gems for flamenco concert guitar, with the Minera he achieves a perfect balance between his flamenco and classical background, at the same time that his melodic characteristic style gets here to the highest level”.[31]

In 1989, Riqueni composed the soundtrack for La Reina Andaluza, the first play offered by the Andalusian Theater institute. The premiere was held at the Teatro Imperial in Sevilla.[32][33]

Mi Tiempo (1990)

A record in where he brought classical and jazz influences to his music, including string arrangements that were composed by Riqueni as well.[34][35] One of the most prominent pieces of the album is “Y Enamorarse”, an Alegría flamenco Style in e minor, in where Riqueni uses novelty harmonies for flamenco, and covers every cadencia andaluza derivate music mode that guitar players have been using along the whole flamenco guitar history.[36]

Mi Tiempo premiere concert was held in Seville at the VI Bienal de Flamenco.[15]

Suite Sevilla (1992)

[edit]

Suite Sevilla was published in 1992, and is again one of the most important records in Rafael Riqueni´ discography, it was one of the very few encounters between flamenco and classical.[37] Suite Sevilla was inspired by flamenco roots but it was created under a classical concept in the tradition of Nacionalismo musical,[15] a genre related to musical romanticism from the XIX century. Mainly Falla, Turina, Granados and Albéniz made this style popular in Spain. Suite Sevilla is a Riqueni composition for two guitars, and the album was recorded by Riqueni and classical guitarist José Maria Gallardo del Rey, they both toured the album.[38] The premiere of Suite Sevilla was held at the Houston International Festival in 1993, later in October, the Spanish premiere was held in Reales Alcazares, Seville.[39][40]

This concert was one of the biggest festival hits.[48] In "Guia Libre del Flamenco", José Manuel Gamboa talked about this concert “As a result of Riqueni´s study of Nacionalismo Musical authors, his cover of “Amarguras” from Font de Anta is a fantastic work, when he played this piece at Maestranza Theater during the Bienal de Flamenco, the crowd went into a total commotion”.[15][49] In November, Riqueni offered two shows in Prague and Bratislava.[50]

Maestros (1994)

Musical aspects

[edit]

Rafael Riqueni's music takes flamenco as a basis, plus classical music influences among other contemporary styles, a process easy to identify with his first album, and definitely stated in Mi Tiempo.[95] In flamenco guitar specialist Norberto Torres words: “Riqueni´s music is close to romanticism aesthetics with factors like: contrast to previous musical forms and modes, difficult and expanded processes, sentimentalism, and a new concept for harmonies, rhythm, melody and design.[96] Ramón Rodo Sellés, talks about innate musicality and unique playing style[97]

One of Riqueni´s main characteristic is his capacity as a solo concert player, without the need of a backing group.[98][99][100] Riqueni is also considered to have developed a personal style away from the dominant Paco de Lucia spectrum in flamenco contemporary guitar.[101]

Rafael Riqueni has done an extensive use of musical notation in his work.[3]
