Virtuoso musicianship and dance combine with depth, intensity, heat and passion in flamenco maestro Paco Peña’s new show Flamenco Sin Fronteras.
Paco Peña, recognised as one of the world’s leading exponents of flamenco, combines sensational flamenco dancers, singers and musicians with some special guests from Venezuela to revisit an often overlooked part of the flamenco repertoire. Flamenco Sin Fronteras 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.
The show is a feast for the ears and eyes. Passionate and dramatic, gripping and joyful, Flamenco Sin Fronteras will leave you in awe of the amazing talent live on stage. As the nights draw in and the damp British winter takes hold be transported to the sun, heat, sounds and sights of Andalucía.
