Do you know when the real magic of the flamenco begins? When the music takes over your body? When the beauty of movement and expression takes your breath away? Why, it’s when flamenco dance stars Mamen Baños and Guillermo Ojados take to the stage. Accompanied by exceptional musicians, they’ll open the door to the treasures of Spanish culture – alongside flamenco rhythms you’ll hear classical Spanish music masterpieces.
“This project is unique in that flamenco is given a new lease on life, when the legendary works of Albéniz, such as “Asturias” or “Cadiz”, are combined with Carlos Piñana’s original compositions. These are two musical universes that seem to talk to one another, while our dances help transform this dialogue into a living experience. Sensation is what is most important to me. Flamenco is the emotions expressed through the body, while classical music is the emotions expressed through sound. When these two worlds merge on the stage, something truly special is born”, says Baños.
We are certain that this performance will captivate both traditional flamenco fans and those searching for new experiences. Come and let your heart be enchanted! ¡Olé!
