Hanna Madbak
I was born in the Middle East ( Lebanon). In the last fifteen years, I lived in Paris, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Montreal and now New York city. I studied traditional Flamenco guitar with Mariano Cordoba and Kenny El Lebrijano in San Francisco, and David Serva in Spain. While I am classically trained in traditional Flamenco, I do not consider myself an authentic Flamenco guitar player since my passion is to combine Flamenco with Western and Eastern musical genres -a practice frowned upon by Flamenco purists-.
I am committed to promoting world fusion music as a means of fostering cross cultural understanding and harmony through music. The first expression of my vision is expressed in my latest musical production: "Fuego: World Beat Flamenco Fusion.
