Maestro Timo Lozano “King of Bulerías” –  Baile, Cajón Timo Lozano is an internationally renowned dancer with over 45 years of professional experience in flamenco and Spanish arts.  He was given the title of “King of Bulerías” for his demonstrated expertise as the first non-Spaniard ever to join the faculty of the famous “Centro de Arte Flamenco y Danza Española Amor de Dios” in Madrid, Spain where he taught during nine years.      Born on Galveston Island, Texas, Flamenco Master Timo Lozano began dancing at the early age of 7. His studies included ballet, Spanish classical dance, and Flamenco.  While still in his youth, he began performing in local venues in San Antonio.  In 1967, during a performance at “Patio Flamenco,” Timo met Maestro José Greco who extended an on the spot invitation to join his dance company. Lozano’s exciting career began with an international tour with the most famous flamenco group of the time.  Timo toured the world with Greco’s company until 1973, taking time off to serve in the U.S armed forces.   During his tour of duty, Timo performed for the troops in South Vietnam to raise the moral of his fellow soldiers.   His gift to the men earned the recognition of General Westmoreland, the Commanding General of South Vietnam, who thanked him with an official Letter of Appreciation.  By the end of 1973, Timo embarked on his solo career.  In the years that followed, he performed with many famous flamenco dancers such as Ciro, María Rosa, Rafael de Córdoba, María Benitez, Angelita Vargas, La Chana, Rafael el Negro, and Matilde Coral.    He performed on famous stages throughout the world including: Royal Festival Hall, London, England; Queen  Elizabeth Theater, Montreal, Canada; Metropolitan Opera  House, New York City; Zarzuela Theater, Madrid, Spain; Bolshoi Theatre, Moscow, Russia; Kiev Theatre, Kiev Ukraine and the Opera House, Tokyo, Japan.  In 1992 Timo made his home in Madrid, Spain where he worked tirelessly to become the first non-Spaniard to teach at “Amor de Dios, Centro de Arte Flamenco y Danza Española,” a Spanish and Flamenco dance school famous throughout the world for its fine dancers.  During his nine year tenure Maestro Lozano taught dancers from some of Spain’s top companies.  The people of Spain rewarded his efforts by naming him “El Rey de la Bulería” or “The King of Bulerías.” While teaching, he was invited as a guest instructor and gave regular workshops in 15 countries 25 cities throughout Europe.  In 1993 Maestro Lozano wrote the screenplay “Alma Gitana” and by 1995 it was turned into a highly acclaimed motion picture.  In addition to writing the story, Timo also choreographed and acted in the film.    As an accomplished percussionist, he played the cajón, (box drum) for the documentary, “Flamenco Women,” directed by Mike Figges the academy award winning director of the movie “Leaving Las Vegas.” The year 2000 led Timo to Israel where he spent nine years teaching children and teens the art of dance at “Beer-Sheva Dance Academy” in Jerusalem. In the spring of 2009, he returned home to the United States.  While performing as invited artist to the Dallas Flamenco Festival, he met and performed with Cantaora Irma La Paloma and Guitarist Jeremías Garcia of Solero Flamenco.  This first performance required immediate communication and improvisation.  The result was a memorable collaboration leaving the audience and artists hungry for more.  Their desire to continue to work together inspired Lozano to join Solero Flamenco.  Currently residing in Houston, Texas, he continues to share his art and experience with the community through expert instruction and outstanding performances.     ©Solero Flamenco All Photography and Material is protected by copyright and may not be reproduced without written consent of the artists.
