Ciutat Vella
Festival and Flamenco a Nou Barris 2005 go over today's cante,
baile and toque in Barcelona. Besides the outstanding
presence of the jondo at the Guitar Festival, two other great
flamenco events coincide in the Catalan capital in May. On the
one hand, the twelfth edition of the Ciutat Vella Festival will
be held from May 24th to 28th at the Contemporary Culture Center
of Barcelona (CCCB). Standing out on the program are performances
by Rafael Riqueni, Juan Carlos Romero and Jerónimo Maya,
on guitar; Andrés
Marín and Andrés Peña, on baile; and
El Vareta and Encarna Anillo, on cante. Moreover, round-table
discussions are scheduled with figures of the likes of Enrique
Morente and Carlos Saura, lectures, debates and a chill-out
which will be graced with the presence of alternative offers
such as that of Cathy Claret. On the other hand, Flamenco a
Nou Barris ‘Alma’, focuses this edition on the “concerts
led by women, cantaoras and bailaoras, who will give us a contemporary
vision of flamenco”. To be noted, the performances by
Carmen
Linares, Montse Cortés, Fuensanta la Moneta and Ángeles
Gabaldón. The festival is to be held from May 19th to
21st at the Nou Barris District Courtyard.
