Flamenco and poetry converse in the ‘La música de los espejos’ Series at Suma Flamenca 2010. And it will no longer be at the Olivar de Castillejo, but rather at the Complejo El Águila. But the essence will go on being the same one set forth every year by José María Velázquez-Gaztelu: a cluster of encounters between literary figures and cantaores. In this fifth edition of the Madrilenian festival, sitting face to face will be poet Benjamín Prado and Huelva-born cantaora Argentina, writer Clara Sánchez and cantaora Estrella Morente, writer Almudena Grandes with cantaor Valderrama, and poet Javier Villán with cantaora María Toledo. Writers such as Caballero-Bonald, Félix Grande, Luis García Montero and Aute, and artists like José Mercé, Miguel Poveda, Enrique Morente and Marina Heredia have taken part in this series in previous editions.

More concerts. This same week, Suma Flamenca 2010 has also scheduled two performances at the Institut Français: Axivil Aljamía with ‘Perfume mudéjar’ (June 24th) and Paco del Pozo (June 25th). And on Saturday, June 26th in towns in the region, it offers shows by Gerardo Núñez at the Plaza Mayor in Chinchón, El Güito at the Teatro Bulevar in Torrelodones and Juan de Juan with ‘Los sones negros’ at the Auditorio Teresa Berganza in Villaviciosa de Odón.
