Hietsu is Happening! brings warmth to the January frost when Spanish flamenco masters Juan Antonio Suárez and Victor Carrasco arrive as guests at the Pavilion on Sunday, January 28th.

Flamenco is best experienced up close, and this is a rare opportunity to experience top-notch flamenco in such an intimate setting. In the small hall of the Paviljonki, the atmosphere intensifies, and the intensity of the music becomes irresistibly palpable.

Composer and guitarist Juan Antonio Suárez “Cano” has collaborated with renowned dancers such as Sara Baras, Rocío Molina, and Belén Maya, composing several dance-theater pieces. Cano is a recognized master of modern flamenco guitar, with multiple recordings to his credit. His debut album Son de Ayer was released in 2008.

Víctor Carrasco, originally from Huelva, began his professional singing career in Andalusian flamenco peñas at the age of 16, after studying flamenco guitar for several years. Carrasco has performed at numerous festivals and theaters worldwide, collaborating with major figures in flamenco.

Old and individually successful bandmates, pianist Aki Rissanen and saxophonist Mikko Innanen, contribute to Hietsu is Happening's concert year with an entirely new program. The material created and rehearsed in mid-January at the Musicians' Union's residency in Western Uusimaa delves into fundamental questions of art and humanity, as well as trivial and irrelevant details.
