Flamenco-world.com, February 2010
Festival de Jerez 2010, which will
be held from February 26th to March 13th, will premiere
a new venue to develop its show schedule. The Sala Paúl
will début at the Jerez festival making room for
some of the most ground-breaking shows in this new edition
and thus becoming the event’s sixth stage. Diego Carrasco,
Los Delinqüentes, Tomasito,
María Bermúdez and Juan Diego will be some
of the artists, within the series ‘De la Frontera’,
in charge of premiering this new venue.
Jerez-born Diego Carrasco will be the first
to get up on stage on Paúl Street, at midnight on
Monday, March 1st, 2010, to offer a live show in which he
will go back over his greatest hits and will have the special
collaboration of Remedios Amaya. One day later, coinciding
with the day off at the Villamarta, the Sala Paúl
will host the concert, beginning at nine o’clock at
night, of bailaora and singer María Bermúdez,
who will present her show ‘Chicana gipsy project’
with the special collaboration of Capullo
de Jerez. The show attempts to bridge the gap between
the cultures of Spain and the United States, and mixes the
genres of flamenco music with the banners of jazz, with
Mexican rancheras in between as well as original songs by
the artist originally from California but now established
in Jerez.
The Sala Paúl’s program resumes
the midnight schedule on Thursday, March 4th to offer ‘Mixtolobo’,
the unique initiative of an encounter between flamenco and
rock promoted by Jerez-born guitarist Juan
Diego. The youths of the Jerez group Soniquete will
continue the series ‘De la Frontera’ at midnight
on Sunday, March 7th, demonstrating with their show ‘Asignatura
pendiente’ the good current state of health of the
city’s endless flamenco breeding ground. The festival’s
most heterodox series concludes on Friday the 12th with
the double concert by Los Delinqüentes and Tomasito,
who will offer their most ‘garrapatera’ vision
of the jondo art, intertwining songs off their latest albums,
‘Bienvenidos a la época iconoclasta’
and ‘Y de lo mío, ¿qué?’,
respectively.
Maestra and apprentices
Aside from the series ‘De la Frontera’,
the Sala Paúl will take part in the program of Festival
de Jerez 2010 with two other shows: La
Farruca (March 9th at 9 p.m.) and the final of the choreography
workshop by Javier Latorre (March 5th beginning at 7 p.m.).
In the first case, the Sevillian bailaora, the family matriarch,
will present a small-scale show within the series ‘Con
nombre propio’. If the maestra’s temperamental
baile could be seen a few years ago in the setting of the
Villamarta and accompanied by her family, Rosario Montoya
‘La Farruca’ now arrives with a more intimate
show in which she presents herself to the crowd at a short
distance. Lastly, Javier Latorre’s pupils will have
the chance to take part in the final of the choreography
workshop which the maestro will teach during the Jerez festival.
And the audience interested in checking out how Latorre’s
students have evolved can attend the Sala Paúl free
of charge until full capacity.
