Born in Seville, he lived and breathed flamenco at home from an early age. His career began after taking part in several contests and festivals around Andaluc\u00eda.<\/p>\n
In the year 2000, Fundaci\u00f3n Cristina Heeren granted Javier a scholarship. He was taught by some of the greatest, such as Naranjito de Triana, Jos\u00e9 de la Tomasa and Calixto S\u00e1nchez among others. Shortly after he started teaching at the same foundation, doing so while performing at some of the best tablaos in the Sevillian flamenco scene.<\/p>\n
His vast experience in cante as accompaniment to dance has led him to sing alongside renowned artists such as Rafael, Adela Campallo, PastoraGalv\u00e1n, Javier Bar\u00f3n, and Isabel Bay\u00f3n among many others. Javier Rivera is no stranger to the bigger stages, as he\u00b4s performed at the Bienal de Flamenco de Sevilla, Festival de Jerez, and other festivals such as N\u00eemes or Mont de Marsan.<\/p>\n
As a teacher and mentor, he\u00b4s also taught at the \u201cCrist\u00f3bal de Morales\u201d conservatory, in Seville.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9334,"template":"","disciplina":[29],"class_list":["post-9429","artista","type-artista","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","disciplina-singing"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
