2010 Alburquerque Flamenco Festival combines baile’s tradition and present

The festival, one of the most veteran ones, holds its show and course schedule from June 9th to 13th in the city in New Mexico (USA)

Albuquerque once again vindicates its Spanish roots. The city in the American state of New Mexico is to hold a new edition of its flamenco festival, now running for over two decades. From June 9th to 13th, 2010, two theaters split up the show schedule, organized by the National Institute of Flamenco. Focusing especially on baile, the bill combines the weight of tradition upheld by Manuela Carrasco, with the fresh air contributed by young bailaores such as Manuel Liñán, Andrés Peña with Pilar Ogalla, and Concha Jareño as the guest of guitarist Juan Antonio Suárez ‘Cano’. The bill is completed with workshops, a flamenco contest and a children’s camp.

Manuela Carrasco will be the artist in charge of inaugurating the 2010 Alburquerque Flamenco Festival. On Wednesday, June 9th at the Alburquerque Journal Theatre of the National Hispanic Cultural Center, the Sevillian bailaora will present her show ‘Suspiro flamenco’, in which she is accompanied by bailaores El Torombo and Rafael de Carmen, as well as guitarist Joaquín Amador. The first display of new-generation baile will be provided by Manuel Liñán on Thursday, June 10th at the University of New Mexico’s Rodey Theatre. The Granada-born bailaor is surrounded in this show by bailaores such as La Tacha, Ana Romero and Jesús Fernández, guitarists like Antón Jiménez, Arcadio Marín and Luis Mariano, and cantaor David Maldonado. Taking place after the performance will be the final of the 7th National Flamenco Contest, attended by new bailaores, cantaores and guitarists from all over the country.

The festival offers a twin bill on Friday, June 11th. At the Rodey Theatre, bailaores Andrés Peña and Pilar Ogalla will perform their show ‘A fuego lento’, premiered at Festival de Jerez 2007. The Jerez-born bailaor and the Cádiz-born bailaora dance to the cante of Luis Moneo, Inmaculada Rivero and Emilio Florido. And at the Journal Theatre, guitarist Juan Antonio Suárez ‘Cano’ presents ‘Seis cuerdas para dos tacones’ with the special collaboration of bailaora Concha Jareño. On Saturday, June 12th and Sunday the 13th, the festival closes with two installments of ‘Fiesta flamenca’, a show in which the artists on the bill during the week come together. In addition to the live shows, there is a related course program of baile, guitar, cante, clapping, box drum and castanets. Also to be held is the seventh edition of the National Flamenco Contest, which is attended by new American talents in the genre. With a view to the children’s audience, Flamenco Kids Camp offers a first approach to flamenco by means of workshops.
