Ottmar Liebert & Luna Negra

By Chris Gray

Published on July 24, 2008

German native Ottmar Liebert is one of the few flamenco artists who can sell out midsize rooms, but his Houston fans have a rare opportunity to see Liebert and his band Luna Negra a lot closer up. Liebert began his flamenco career at restaurants around Santa Fe, where he still lives, and has become one of the exotic Spanish guitar music's principal ambassadors; his double-platinum 1990 LP Nouveau Flamenco is the biggest-selling guitar album of all time. Dormant since 2004's La Semana, Liebert and Luna Negra have released two albums this year: Up Close, recorded live at Liebert's Santa Fe studio, and Scent of Light, inspired by his travels to places like Tibet, India and Granada. Act fast, though — only 140 tickets will be made available for each show.
