From the 19th century pioneers to the centenary of Lola Flores: exciting January at Espacio Expoflamenco
The Espacio Expoflamenco cultural center (Jerez) presents a varied program of activities: the artists Dorantes and David Lagos, the presentations by Manuel Bohórquez, Alberto Romero and Eduardo Pastor, a tribute to Luis de la Pica and Juan Grande or the presentations of the Festival La Moderna and La Guarida del Ángel.
The year begins with great enthusiasm at the Espacio Expoflamenco in Jerez thanks to a catalog of activities full of incentives for the international flamenco community. With the aim of disseminating and promoting the culture of our art throughout the world, the recently inaugurated headquarters on Diego Fernández Herrera street will host a series of meetings with leading figures, conferences and book presentations, and festivals. Here you have all the details.
If the word of the artist has a special value, we will be lucky to have among us David Peña ‘Dorantes’ and David Lagos, to let us know about their latest projects . No less important is the voice of researchers and writers such as Manolo Bohórquez, Alberto Romero or Eduardo Pastor, who are going to visit us to exhibit their works. There will also be a place for a special tribute to the figures of Luis de la Pica and Juan Grande, on the occasion of the presentation of the magazine Big Sur Series #2, and a preview of the great Charity Festival created by two emblematic establishments in Jerez such as La Moderna and La Guarida del Ángel.
Here you have all the details of the activities scheduled in the Espacio Expoflamenco for the month of January 2023 with free admission until full capacity is reached.
