This is a special treat for all our Cork Culch.ie followers. Would you like an evening of exceptional flamenco performance with two of Spain’s most highly regarded artists? Read on.
This month sees the welcome return to Ireland of virtuoso composer and guitarist Juan Antonio Suárez “Cano” and award-winning dancer and choreographer Concha Jareño. Proudly presented by Peña Flamenca El Indalo, with the support of the Arts Council, the Instituto Cervantes Dublin and the Agencia Andaluza para el Desarrollo del Flamenco, this tour offers Irish audiences a unique opportunity to enjoy a level of flamenco artistry normally reserved for the stages of Spain and the more established international flamenco festivals.
The Spanish artists, who performed separately in Dublin in 2009, are returning to tour Ireland with a new production called “Seis cuerdas para dos tacones” (“Six strings for two heels”), which they premiered in June 2010 at the annual Flamenco Festival in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Some audience members described the experience as breathtaking and many were moved to tears. If you wish to experience the same thrill and rollercoaster of emotion, all you have to do is drop an email to [email protected] with your name and the subject line “Flamenco Me” and you’ll be in with the chance of seeing this great show in The Firkin Crane, Shandon, Cork tomorrow night, Thursday 2nd September.
