Flamenco continues to win over leading stages. Now it’s Joaquín Cortés who, after dancing before thousands of spectators all over the world, makes his début on Broadway. The Córdoba-born bailaor presents ‘Mi soledad’ from December 11th to 22nd at New York’s Palace Theatre, a show which premiered in May 2005 in Mexico.

It isn’t the first time flamenco has made its way into the theaters of the ‘Big Apple’. Besides the annual edition of the Flamenco Festival at the City Center since 2001, María Pagés spent a season at the Joyce Theater with ‘Flamenco Republic’ in 2004 and, traveling back in time, Carmen Amaya’s performances in the 1940s go down in the history of New York show business.

Elsewhere, the Córdoba-born artist will represent the Romani race in the European Parliament beginning next January, heading a project with a permanent office and aims regarding integration and education.
