Habiéndose criado en un caldo familiar de sonantas -su padre, tocaba; su abuelo, tocaba y su tío fue el gran Niño Miguel, una leyenda de la guitarra flamenca- a José Fernández Torres (Almería, 1958), “Tomatito”, seguramente no le quedó más remedio que continuar expandiendo una saga familiar que desde el barrio de Pescadería transcendía las fronteras de Almería. Para cuando, por generación, le tocó hacerlo, una figura sideral ya había trastocado el orden de la guitarra y del flamenco entero aportándole una innovación que ya no tendría marcha atrás. A la estela del toque nuevo de esa figura se sumó Tomatito.

Es bien conocida la admiración y la influencia que Paco de Lucía ejerció sobre el guitarrista almeriense. No en balde, Tomatito fue durante 18 años el acompañante cómplice de Camarón de la Isla, con el que Paco había formado una pareja mítica. Luego, fluyendo con el mismo espíritu de revolución, a esa plaza de fraternal matrimonio artístico llegó Tomatito. La alianza de los tres quedó sellada en 1989. Pero diez años antes, Tomatito ya había hecho historia de la música española como uno de los dos guitarristas flamencos -el otro era Raimundo Amador- de un disco que partió en dos al flamenco: La leyenda del tiempo. Desde entonces, José Fernández Torres ha madurado, ha hecho suyas todas las influencias hasta cicatrizarlas como una identidad propia, ha buceado dentro de sí mismo, ha germinado su propio y brillante toque y se ha convertido en un músico global capaz de compartir escenario con Frank Sinatra, Elton John, Julio Iglesias o su “compadre” del piano, Michel Camilo, con el que se ha adentrado en maravillosas aventuras de latinidad flamenca.

Con seis Grammy y firmando bandas sonoras, Tomatito dejó de ser, hace mucho tiempo, el “acompañante” de Camarón de la Isla y hoy es un músico de amplio espectro que le ha hincado el diente al Concierto de Aranjuez.

Y que ahora nos llega, completamente libre y comprometido con seguir avanzando en la música, con la autenticidad de un tipo que, cuando no está de gira, cultiva frutales y cría ovejas y gansos en un cortijo de Almería. Como siempre, discreto y honesto. Haciendo, a su modo de artista tranquilo, la revolución silenciosa de una guitarra -la guitarra de Tomatito- pletórica de mundos y acentos diversos, de complejidades y transparencias, de reflexiones y de súbitos borbotones de pellizco. Pasión, fulgor y calma, Tomatito.

Tomatito, brillance and serenity

Having grown up in the midst of a musical family -his father played; his grandfather strummed; and his uncle was the great Niño Miguel, a legend of flamenco guitar- the path for José Fernández Torres (Almería, 1958), “Tomatito”, was, clearly, to extend the family saga having transcended the Pescaderia neighbourhood to the borders of Almería. By the time it was his turn, a star figure had altered the world of guitar and all of flamenco with such innovating imput, the genre could not go into reverse. Tomatito joined the wave of this new touch.

It is well-known that the guitarist from Almeria was an admirer of, and influenced, by Paco de Lucia. It is no surprise, then, that for 18 years, Tomatito accompanied Cameron de la Isla, with whom Paco had formed a mythical duo. Later, and with the same revolutionary spirit, Tomatito joined this fraternal marriage of artists and the alliance of the three was sealed in 1989. Ten years earlier, however, Tomatito had made history in the annals of Spanish music as one of the two flamenco guitarrists -the other was Raimundo Amador- in La leyenda del tiempo, a recording considered to be a pioneering force in “new flamenco”. Since then, José Fernández Torres has matured, he has let all manner of influences permeate his artistry to create a singular identity, he has delved into himself and generated his own brilliant touch and become a global musician, sharing the stage with Frank Sinatra, Elton John, Julio Iglesias, or his “compadre” on the piano, Michel Camilo, by embarking on the marvellous adventures of Latin flamenco.

With six Grammy awards and various soundtracks to his name, Tomatito long ago left behind the title of “accompanist” of Camarón de la Isla. Today, he is a musician of wide spectrum who has taken on the Concierto de Aranjuez.

Now he comes to the stage, unrestrained and committed to moving forward authentically on his musical journey. When not on tour, Tomatito can be found at his Almeria farmhouse cultivating fruit trees and raising sheep and geese. As always: discreet and genuine. In his own manner, as a quiet artist, carrying out a silent revolution with a guitar. The guitar of Tomatito, flourishing amidst diverse worlds and accents, of complexities and clarity, introspection, and unexpected exuberant outbursts. Passion, brilliance, and serenity, Tomatito.
