2008 De Cajón!
Flamenco Festival. Show schedule
The flamenco offer in Barcelona
hasn’t let up. With the Festival de Ciutat Vella
and the Nou Barris Flamenco Festival practically having
just finished, and still with some shows pending in the
Guitar Festival, the city will propose another jondo bill.
The 2008 De Cajón Flamenco Festival, the event’s
third edition, is scheduled from May 29th to July 6th.
The main events on the bill are performances by Vicente
Amigo, Tomatito and Diego
el Cigala, besides the presentation of the album ‘Barcas
de plata’ by Encarna
Anillo with Miguel Poveda as host. Bailaor Juan de
Juan and cantaor Guillermo Cano also appear at an event
which will be closed by singer Rosario.

The 2008 De Cajón! Flamenco Festival
reaches its third edition, with a lineup that summarizes
its main goals. The first is “to go on increasing
the possibilities of the city as an unavoidable venue
amidst the great figures, the gods of duende”. And
the stage of the Palau de la Música is reserved
for them. Vicente
Amigo’s guitar will open the festival, which
will make way for the concert ‘Dos lágrimas’
by Diego el Cigala a few days later. Tomatito
will star on toque in the final stretch of the festival.
Another objective is to make way for
already consolidated young talents. That’s the case
of Encarna Anillo, who presents her album ‘Barcas
de plata’ in Barcelona with Miguel
Poveda as guest artist. The Catalan cantaor, the record’s
executive producer, will play host to the Cádiz-born
cantaora in the city in a recital in which the guitar
will be taken care of by Chicuelo.
And also that of bailaor Juan
de Juan; that of cantaor Guillermo Cano, presenting
his album ‘Rincón del pensamiento’;
and that of the Catalan group Las Migas. The festival’s
final touch, which includes a box drum contest and master
classes, will be taken care of by singer Rosario Flores
at the Liceu.
