Seville's Biennial Flamenco Festival
is ready to go. The macrofestival has a program of parallel
activities of the highest quality. From now until 10th
October 2008, it includes courses, exhibitions, movies
and performances. This edition sees the participation
of all three of Seville's universities, with offerings
such as the third installment of the course ‘Flamenco
artists speak about themselves’, featuring María
Pagés, José Mercé and Gerardo
Núñez, among other artists. As for the live
flamenco, there'll be outstanding performances by promising
newcomers at La Alameda de Hércules, all-nighters
at the peñas and showcases at the FNAC Forum. The
most talked-about exhibition at the fifteenth festival
is destined to be that of photographer Ruven Afanador,
whose work features on the poster.
