Rocío Molina and Arcángel star in the 2009 La Yerbabuena Flamenco Festival. On Saturday, July 4th in the area surrounding the Iglesia de San Juan Bautista (St. John the Baptist’s Church) in the Seville-area town of Las Cabezas de San Juan, the eighteenth edition of its flamenco festival will be held. Standing out on the bill, which is to be opened by local cantaor Manuel Cordero, are performances by two of the genre’s steady talents. On the one hand, Málaga-born bailaora Rocío Molina will offer a baile recital accompanied by Leo Triviño and Emilio Florido on cante, Paco Cruz and Manuel Cazás on guitar, and Sergio Martínez on percussion. On the other hand, Huelva-born cantaor Arcángel will resort to his particular vision of classical cante backed on toque by Granada-born Miguel Ángel Cortés. The night is completed by the awarding of the Yerbabuena de Plata to Iñaki Gabilondo. The Basque journalist thus joins a list of art personalities winning the silver bouquet which includes designers Victorio and Lucchino, writer Caballero Bonald and playwright Salvador Távora, among others.
