The fourth edition of the Flamenco
in the Sun festival has a sure protagonist: Israel
Galván, National Award for Dance 2005. In this
date with flamenco in Miami (United States), the bailaor

week of flamenco activities with concerts, workshops and
films.

‘Dos hermanos’ is a flamenco
show in which Israel Galván pits two different ways
of understanding flamenco dance against each other. The
bailaor, National Award for Dance 2005, will be on the side
of the avant-garde, whereas his sister, Pastora
Galván, will defend tradition. The project, with
Alfredo Lagos on guitar and Juan José Amador on vocals,
will be presented on the 29th of July in the Parker Playhouse
of Fort Lauderdale and on the 30th of July at the Miami-Dade
County in Miami.
The festival also offers the premiere of
‘Calle flamenca’, a collaboration by Bailes
Ferrer Flamenco Dance Company and José Luis Rodríguez,
with choreography by Pastora Galván and Belén
Maya, among others, and the participation of the musicians
Sudhi Rajagopal and Robert Boyd. The premiere will take
place on the 5th and 6th of August at the Amaturo Theater
of the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. For the second
year, the doors of the Café Cantante will be opened
for an evening of flamenco with the participation of artists
such as Estrella Morena, Pepe de Málaga and José
Moreno.
In addition to these performances, the
festival program includes other activities, with a spotlight
on teaching. There’ll be a week of introductory flamenco
workshops for children and adults, as well as Masterclasses
taught by bailaor Israel Galván and guitarist José
Luis Rodríguez, among other big names. From the most
outstanding students, one will be selected as the winner
of a grant to study at the Taller Flamenco School in Seville
next September. The program will round up with thematic
flamenco films programmed by the Fort Lauderdale Film Festival
and Cinema Paradiso, with the showing of the film ‘Flamenco’
by Carlos Saura and an exhibition of still photographs taken
during its filming.
