Now in its sixth year, Siempre Flamenco joins the Adrienne Arsht Center and Flamenco Festival Miami 2011 to present the VI Festival of Flamenco Song, Café Cantante. The deepest feeling of flamenco song unites with the intricate fury of dance in a unique concert that will exhilarate and delight both young and old
This year’s festival singers feature Macarena de Jerez, Gabriel de la Tomasa, both rising young stars in Spain, along with the living legend, Mr. Luis Vargas. At 80 plus, he is still singing and is one of the few artists left from his generation. Flamenco guitar accompaniment will be by Siempre Flamenco’s Paco Fonta, and guest guitarist, Jose Cortes, Pansequito hijo. Flamenco dancing by Celia Fonta and Siempre Flamenco Company will round out the festival lineup.
To compliment this year’s festival, there will be several educational events.
