Fundarte (Fundaci\u00f3n Cultural Universitaria de las Artes de Jerez<\/a><\/em>) has officially closed the fiscal year 2019 at Jerez City Council and its 2020 budget has been approved. One of the most positive news has been the Flamenco Internationalization Program, which led to the trademarking of the brand Fiesta de la Buler\u00eda Jerez 2020 On Tour<\/strong><\/em>, aiming to internationalize that famous festival.<\/p>\n

Mamen S\u00e1nchez<\/strong>, mayor of Jerez,\u00a0Francisco Camas<\/strong>, deputy for Cultural Dynamization, and Antonio Malena<\/strong>, representing the artists, held a press conference to announce the signature of an initial contract appointing \u00a0Mar\u00eda Berm\u00fadez<\/strong>\u00a0as director of a unique flamenco show, to be performed on November 28th<\/sup>, 2020 at the Walt Disney Concert Hall<\/a>\u00a0in Los Angeles, California.<\/p>\n

Thus, La Fiesta de la Buler\u00eda will travel to the USA, led by Berm\u00fadez, who will gather around fifteen artists to perform this event. There are still names pending confirmation, but we already know that Joaqu\u00edn Grilo, Jes\u00fas M\u00e9ndez, Remedios Amaya, Pele de los Reyes<\/strong>\u00a0(Navajita Plate\u00e1),\u00a0Antonio Malena<\/strong>\u00a0and the guitars of Diego del Morao, Antonio Rey<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Manuel Parrilla<\/strong>\u00a0will be part of the cast.<\/p>\n

S\u00e1nchez wished to highlight the historical character of this show, pointing out the hard work and commitment of City Council and Fundarte in behalf of flamenco\u2019s internationalization.<\/p>\n

Fundarte\u2019s board of directors approved a budget of almost three million Euros for 2020.
