The program of the Bruselas Flamenco Festival this year focuses on five topics: protest songs (‘La Protesta’), Belgian flamenco artists (‘Los Nuestros’), women (‘Día Internacional de la Mujer’), flamenco dynasties (‘Dinastías Flamencas’) and children (‘Día Familiar’). The first day of the festival focuses on social activism in flamenco, with a tribute to three poets: Miguel Hernández, Rafael Alberti and Francisco Moreno Galván.

In parallel with the tribute to Francisco Moreno Galván, the show La Protesta will be performed by Ana Ramírez La Yiya, Rocío Márquez, Juan Pinilla (cante), Manuel Herrera (guitar) and David Pérez (baile), giving voice to poems and flamenco lyrics with a heavy social and ideological content facing Franco’s dictatorship.

During the first day of this festival, La Puebla is also represented by Miguel Ángel Rivero, who takes part together with Juan Pinilla, José Miguel Arranz and Bart Vont in the round table The importance of the antifascist poets in flamenco and Spanish culture.
