Rafael Estévez & Fuensanta la Moneta: a flamenco
dancing duo to start up Veranos del Corral 2009. The bailaora
and bailaor got together for the first time to inaugurate in grand
fashion the flamenco showcase which has been held for the past ten
years at the Al-Andalusian corn exchange in the historical quarter
in Granada. Following this mighty face-off on Monday, July 20th,
the stage remained open. They were followed by another tandem, Andrés
Peña and Pilar Ogalla, and the first week of shows was completed
by Cádiz-born Rosario Toledo and Córdoba-born Olga
Pericet. Until Granada-born Manuel Liñán provides
the final touch on August 14th, this forum is to host performances
by bailaoras of the likes of
Pastora
Galván, new talents such as Patricia Guerrero, El Choro
and Leonor Leal, bailaores as personal as Ramón Martínez
and Rafael de Carmen, consolidated guitarists like Miguel Ángel
Cortés and Alfredo Lagos, and voices as weighty as those
of La Susi and Cancanilla. A schedule of live shows which is complemented
with the courses organized by Taller Flamenco, with La Moneta, Manuel
Liñán, Patricia Guerrero and Manolete as maestros.
