Viaje al centro de mí mismo (“Journey to the Center of Myself”) is Francisco Vinuesa’s guitar-led concert work, conceived as a deliberate shift in perspective. After years of being “called for” as a guitarist to accompany others, Vinuesa places himself at the center of the stage and builds a recital in which the guitar is not background support but an authorial instrument. The title names the method: a journey inward in which musical material functions as memory, argument, and self-portrait.

The structure is episodic rather than narrative. Vinuesa moves through contrasting sections—compacted rhythmic writing, open and sustained sonorities, and moments of near-silence—so the audience hears how intensity can be produced through density or through restraint. Cante enters as a second line of thought, sometimes affirming the guitar’s direction, sometimes interrupting it. Percussion adds a third perspective, tracing pulse, friction, and breath. Throughout the evening, invited artists serve as catalysts: their presence shifts the stakes of the music and makes the guitar’s decisions visible in real time.

The dossier frames the work as an “interior epic,” and that scale is achieved through attention to the smallest units of expression. Vinuesa searches for “truth” in the micro-gesture—an inflection of rasgueo, a shift of weight in the groove, a chord that lingers just long enough to re-color the space. The result is a concert that invites close listening: flamenco understood as composition and as encounter, shaped in the moment by the relationship.
