Festival Semaine Flamenco

 

 

For it’s 5th anniversary, Grenada has the honour of hosting the wonderful “ Flamenco Festival”.

From the 20^th - 25^th August the sultry breezes of “Grana” will carry its Andalucian charm to Rivesaltes. Whilst way down south, from the Alhambra to the gitan quarter of Sacromonte, the Andalucians steep themselves night and day in the spirit of flamenco, so will it be in the world renowned capital of Muscat de Rivesaltes.

Visitors will be taken on a voyage full of wonderful discoveries.

 

The programme

♡ 19 workshops( dance, guitar, singing, cajon, palmas and painting ), exhibitions, flamenco evenings, stalls and 7 pure flamenco shows ; 3 in the Domes de Rivesaltes the 3 final days from 20.30h.

♡ On the bill; 3 famous artistes from Grenada itself.

♡ Amidst the throbbing tune of the Andalucian heartbeat, comes Violeta Ruiz, having already captured the hearts of festival goers in 2010, she returns this time with her new work “ Violeta Grana”, created to mark the 5^th anniversary of the festival and to launch the start of the festivities at the Domes on Thursday 23^rd August.

♡ The following day we can look forward to the force, technical brilliance and sensuality of Ivan Vargas.

Virtuoso of the dance, descendant of the famous Maya lineage, a prominent family of artists from Grenada, he expresses the flamencan passion in “De Casta” accompanied by the celebrated Juan Andres Maya.

♡ Closing the festival on Saturday 25^th August, La Moneta captures the audience with her black eyed beauty, Her elegant, aristocratic style will once again explode onto the stage in “Extremo jondo”.
