Passion in red and black By Lourdes Garcia

Angela “la Yerbabuena” and Maridel García “Triana/Anís” have pursued the golden age of flamenco since they were little girls, a style developed at the end of the nineteenth century in the cafés cantantes, where flamenco grew to its accomplished form. 

Dance, cante (singing) and guitar playing constitute the magic triangle where flamenco art grows and fascinates us with its brio and enchantment.

This time, they bring to Teatro Santa Ana their Soleá and Alegrías, their Cante por Fandangos and a traditional song, “Romance pascual de los pelegrinitos,” shaped by the form of the Guajira, a cante called de ida y vuelta because it goes (ida) from Spain to America and returns (vuelta) from the island of Cuba to the Spanish peninsula with new airs and new charm.

Dancer Alfredo Enríquez brings his personal Soleá por bulerías, and the Cuban-flamenco guitar of Josué Tacoronte helps Anís and Yerbabuena to reach the golden age of flamenco with his Moorish Recuerdos de la Alhambra, all within a musical and dancing program full of the red and black passion of flamenco.
