Ottmar Liebert is a German-born guitarist, composer, and producer best known for his contributions to the genre of nouveau flamenco, which intertwines flamenco with other music styles such as jazz and bossa nova. Liebert's innovative blend of sounds has earned him international acclaim and a dedicated fan base, as well as multiple Grammy nominations. Since the release of his debut album "Nouveau Flamenco" in 1990, which achieved platinum status in the United States, Liebert has been at the forefront of contemporary flamenco music, continually expanding the boundaries of the genre.
His recent works, as reflected by titles such as "Bare Wood 2" and "Uma Dança (Bare Version)," showcase a return to a more stripped-back, intimate sound, focusing on the bare essentials of his guitar craft. Liebert's mastery of his instrument is evident across these releases, as he eloquently blends the raw emotion of traditional flamenco with his own modern sensibilities. Through his music, Liebert creates an evocative soundscape that is both deeply personal and universally resonant, whether he is exploring the subtle nuances of a solitary guitar or experimenting with the invigorating rhythms in mixes like "Dance 4 Me (Locomotion Mix)." His artistic journey continues to evolve with each project, ensuring that his contributions to the realm of world music remain both fresh and deeply rooted in tradition.
