A festival which, after eighteen editions, has become the greatest flamenco platform outside of Spain will be held from March 7th<\/sup> to March 10th<\/sup>. It\u2019s the Flamenco Festival New York<\/a>, which this year seeks to highlight the role of women in the creation and performance of flamenco art. It also states its intention to promote the culture of dialogue and an open vision of flamenco through the interchange with other genres and art forms.<\/p>\n

The festival fully devotes it\u2019s main venue, the New York City Center<\/strong> \u2014 which is celebrating its 75th<\/sup> anniversary \u2014 to the show Sombras\u00a0<\/em>of the Ballet Flamenco de Sara Baras<\/em><\/strong>, with a daily performance for the duration of the festival. It also happens that the great bailaora<\/em> is also celebrating twenty years of professional career on stage.<\/p>\n

Although traditionally baile<\/em> has had the greatest share of the events in this festival, in this occasion much attention has been given to what its director calls the sounds of flamenco<\/em>. For that purpose the celebrated Joe\u2019s Pub<\/a>\u00a0in New York has been reserved. Thus, cante jondo<\/em> will be represented by the voices of Mar\u00eda Terremoto, Israel Fern\u00e1ndez, Ismael Fern\u00e1ndez<\/strong> and Mara Rey. Chano Dom\u00ednguez<\/strong>\u00a0will contribute fusion with jazz through his piano, while\u00a0Sergio de Lope<\/strong> will be doing likewise with flute and saxophone. The guitar will be represented by Antonio Rey<\/strong> and Miguel \u00c1ngel Cort\u00e9s<\/strong>, an artist renowned in America who will perform at the Instituto Cervantes of Chicago<\/a>.<\/p>\n
