Flamenco’s new generation bursts
on the scene at New World Flamenco Festival 2008. A select
group of cantaores and bailaores from Jerez and Cádiz
shape up the self-produced show ‘¡Somos Flamencos!’.
The show - on the bill the 8th, 9th, 10th, 12th and 13th
- has a lineup consisting of bailaores María José
Franco, Juan Ogalla, Andrés
Peña and David Paniagua; cantaores Encarna
Anillo, David
Lagos and Manuel de la Malena; and guitarists Eugenio
Iglesias, Miguel Pérez and Ricardo Rivera. Joining
them on stage is American bailaora Yaelisa, the festival’s
artistic director.
Antonio
el Pipa will also be a special star at the festival,
which he attends this time with his show ‘De tablao’.
The show will be performed on August 15th, 16th and 17th.
It is precisely the Jerez-born bailaor who appears in
the cast of the film ‘Gypsy Caravan’ by Jasmine
Dellal, which is to be shown at the University Town Center
on August 14th. The offer of related activities is completed
by master classes in cante, baile and guitar, as well
as the photo exhibit by Daniel
Muñoz, official photographer of Flamenco-world.com.
