Spirit of Flamenco
Presented by Adelaide Festival Centre's Adelaide International Guitar Festival
General On-sale:
26 Oct 2011
On its final night the 2012 Adelaide International Guitar Festival celebrates the spirit 'el Duende' that arises from flamenco's unique fusion of dance, voice, percussion and guitar.
Florian Remus believes his hands are but tools; it is his heart that plays the guitar. Known for authentic interpretations and soulful compositions, Florian gathers some of the stars of Adelaide's nationally renowned flamenco scene for a performance of dazzling intensity.
American Jason McGuire, 'el Rubio', has ignited the international flamenco community with astonishing virtuosity and profound understanding of the Gitano spirit. Together with Emmy award-winning choreographer and dancer Yaelisa, he brings luminaries of their San Francisco-based company Caminos Flamencos to Australia for the first time. Jason McGuire and Yaelisa are leading a new generation of flamenco performers in the USA, responsive to the musical forms of their homeland, whilst radiating the essential gypsy spirit from their core.
