Blues legend Lito Fernández brings decades of soul to Clarence Jazz Club stage

Guitar virtuoso José Fernández, known to fans worldwide as Lito, is booked to deliver pure passion through timeless blues rhythms at an upcoming intimate performance in Torremolinos.

The powerful ensemble will bring together multiple generations to trace the evolution of the genre, from its origins right up until modern expressions.

Career spanning more than six decades

Born in Malaga in 1953, this master guitarist launched his professional journey in the 1960s with local groups including El Buho, Gran Pamela, Conditional Freedom, Jamaica, Malaka, Tabletom and La Zarzamora alongside Manolo Galván. Lito formed his name-brand band in 1989, and gained acclaim throughout Andalucia as well as the rest of Spain for their energetic performances.

In 1991 and 1992, he toured Germany, Italy and Switzerland. Mick Taylor, Big Jack Johnson and Raimundo Amador of the Rolling Stones were among those who collaborated during this period. He created a collaboration with Henry Donjeany who is the guitarist for Aretha.

Reclaim your festival and Spanish stage fame

Lito toured across Spain with the Lito Blues Band after returning home. Memorable appearances include the XI Festival de Blues de Getxo in 1999 where he supported Mick Taylor, plus sets at Antequera Blues Festival, Cazorla Blues Festival, Cerdanyola Blues Festival, Salobreña Blues Festival and Malaga’s Teatro Cervantes.

Participation in the prestigious Cambayá Blues Reunión further cements his status among elite national figures such as Lolo Ortega, Tonky de la Peña, Zack Wilder, Raimundo Amador, Ñaco Goñi, Francisco Simon and Jeff Espinoza. The audience can expect an evening of emotional depth and technical brilliance by one of Spain’s leading blues authorities.
