In New York City, where the streets pulse with a thousand accents, figures such as Trinidad Huertas ‘La Cuenca,” Carmencita, La Argentinita, Carmen Amaya, Sabicas, Vicente Escudero, and Mario Escudero, among other flamenco icons, found fertile ground that transformed their artistic expression.
The Big Apple resonated in their music and bodies, inspired new interpretations of flamenco, and fostered a creative current that continues to influence generations of artists and audiences.
The 25th anniversary celebration of Flamenco Festival New York will feature programming that evokes this endless love affair between the city of skyscrapers and flamenco. From February 25 to March 15, a delegation of over 80 participants from 16 companies, including singers, guitarists, dancers, and technicians, will present their latest creations.
Artists such as Manuel Liñán, Eva Yerbabuena, Sara Baras, Olga Pericet, Andrés Marín, Rocío Márquez, Ángeles Toledano, Dani de Morón, Gerardo Núñez, and Antonio Rey, among many others, will headline this edition of Flamenco Festival New York — an established event regarded as one of the country’s main cultural happenings dedicated to Spanish culture and flamenco art.
Over twenty companies will stage a total of 40 performances across 20 venues in New York, Miami, Tampa, Chicago, and Boston. Regular festival stages include New York City Center, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Joe’s Pub, and Roulette, complemented by venues such as Baryshnikov Arts, the Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts.
