Diego Amador y Enrique Cofiner “Suite flamenca” (28 de marzo de 2025). Si en el anterior disco recomendado primaba la guitarra clásica, en este nuevo sugerido ocupa protagonismo la guitarra flamenca, pero también el piano. Diego Amador, el hermano, un poco en la sombra, de la familia, debido a la preponderancia de sus hermanos Raimundo y Rafael, se destaca como un músico multiinstrumentista, capaz de tocar el piano y la guitarra flamenca, con la misma soltura, además de otros instrumentos.

Diego Amador y Enrique Cofiner “Suite flamenca” © Fundación Enrique Cofiner, Boileau Music, 2025 (28 de marzo de 2025). Enrique Escudé-Cofiner i Graugés, nacido en Barcelona en 1909 y fallecido en 1996, fue un notable pianista, organista y compositor español. Proveniente de una familia con raíces en la música, su padre era un guitarrista gitano, lo que influyó en su obra, como se puede apreciar en “Estampas gitanas”. A raíz de esta obra, el pianista y compositor Carles Marigó, a solicitud de la hija de Cofiner, creó “Embrujo”, un álbum destacado de 2021. Posteriormente, la Fundación Enrique Cofiner propuso a Diego Amador la realización de un disco que incluyera composiciones de Cofiner, lo que llevó a Amador a desarrollar el proyecto “Suite flamenca”, obra de Cofiner, pero tomando como inspiración “Embrujo”, de Marigó. En esta obra, Amador va más lejos al compartir un mismo plano la guitarra flamenca y el piano. El disco se compone de cinco temas que abarcan diferentes palos flamencos: bulerías, tango, seguiriya, tanguillo, soleá Y fandango. Su dedicación al proyecto ha sido meticulosa, y el resultado es excepcional. Diego Amador se encarga de todos los instrumentos, excepto de la percusión, que es interpretada, y muy bien, por su hijo, Diego Amador junior. Además de destacar como pianista y guitarrista flamenco, Amador demuestra ser un multiinstrumentista sobresaliente. La primera pista del álbum presenta a Diego Amador explicando el enfoque del proyecto, mientras que las cinco pistas restantes constituyen el disco en sí.
