About Ethan Margolis, guitarist

Born in Santa Cruz, CA and raised in Cleveland, OH, Ethan comes from a family of musicians. It is this source that has provided him with a profound love and dedication for the creation and performance of musical art. Margolis was attracted to Flamenco due to its pure essence and its ability to transmit raw, human emotion.

Since his arrival in Seville in the year 2000, Margolis has made a name for himself in an intimate world of legendary artists. He has performed with a long list of Spain's most prominent Flamenco artists including Concha Vargas, Inés Bacán, El Lebrijano, Curro Fernandez, Las Peligros, El Barullo, El Canastero, Tomás Perrate, Pedro Peña, Manuel de Paula, Miguel Funi, El Tañe, Joselito Fernandez, and Diego de la Margara.

In January of 2006, Margolis launched his Flamenco company 'Arte y Pureza' (Art and Purity). It's mission is to preserve Gypsy-style roots flamenco song and dance. Since 2006, Arte y Pureza has toured the USA on four occasions and has taken part in international festivals in Romania, Ecuador, Canada, Spain, and Portugal. Riding the success of 'Arte y Pureza', Margolis produced and played on Miguel Funi's newest album, "Aires Gitanos". He then wrote and toured Spanish Day-the Flamenco Rock Opera as well as forming the Sir Sultry Quintet which fuses jazz and Flamenco music. Currently Margolis is living in Los Angeles, CA, but keeps strong ties to Andalucía, Spain. He recently performed in the Caracolá festival in Lebrija, Spain, one of Flamenco's birthplaces.

Margolis is one of the few young guitarists who view it as their obligation to study, understand, and defend the roots of 'cante gitano andaluz' within flamenco (singer Antonio Mairena referred to the pure singing of the Gypsies as 'cante gitano' so as to separate it from the generalizations that are so often made within Flamenco ). Ethans accompaniment on the guitar is characterized by an extraordinary awareness of the details within Gypsy singing. His musical background has given him a sensitivity towards music that applies to his playing and his teaching.
