Ay! Flamenco!

In the organizer's words:

A sonorous journey through the culture and soul of Andalusia: experience the three faces of flamenco with singer Juan Cárdenas, dancer Anna Castillo and guitarist Nikos Tsiachris - singing, dancing and guitar - in an arc from the traditional to the modern. An evening that lets us immediately feel the shimmering heat of southern Spain and is characterized by passion, emotion and an energetic rhythm.

Flamenco originated in the 15th and 16th centuries from the meeting of different cultures in the deep south of the Iberian Peninsula: the musical traditions of the Gitanos, the liturgical mourning songs of the Separdens and the oriental songs of the Moors. These were joined by the old Spanish songs of the Christians. The throaty cante jondo was born. The women danced to it, accompanied by the clapping of palms, the tapping of tables or the snapping of fingers. The golden age of flamenco began in the middle of the 19th century. The guitar became its main instrument and it advanced to become one of the most popular genres. For many, it is a symbol of identity not only for the region, but for the whole of Spain and was declared an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2010.

Juan Cárdenas, Nikos Tsiachris and Anna Castillo share the art of flamenco as a common passion. An art that was established in Andalusian tablaos and which, like the three artists, you have to know and really feel in order to create it. It goes through the marrow and bone when it comes from deep within the soul. Then the demonic duende takes possession of everyone who surrenders to flamenco.

In various combinations of dance, song, cajon and guitar, the artists let us feel the musical heartbeat of Andalusia for an evening and share in their great passion.
