Paco Pena - Flamenco sin Fronteras
3 June - 8 Nov
Packed with all the intensity, depth and raw energy that have become this maestro's trademark.
Some of the world’s best flamenco dancers combine with a sensational band of musicians and virtuoso singers in this brand new show from legendary flamenco guitarist Paco Pena.
Revisiting an often overlooked part of the flamenco repertoire, world-reknowned virtuoso Paco Pena explores a musical fusion that occurred at the turn of the twentieth century – when touring Spanish musicians toured South America and discovered a rich musical culture and folklore which resonated strongly with their own music. The new group of styles that resulted was called 'Cantes de Ida y Vuelta' (songs of departure and return).
Flamenco sin Fronteras explores this fusion, and the fully developed flamenco forms that grew from it, and draws deeply from strong historical connections between Latin America, Andalucia and Spain. Packed with all the intensity, depth and raw energy that have become this maestro’s trademark. Feel the heat and passion.
