With the stress on cante, Festival de la Mistela 2006 is already getting its lineup ready. Esperanza Fernández, Tomás de Perrate, Aurora Vargas and Pansequito will offer a view of traditional cante in this edition of the festival which is to be held from October 23rd to 28th in the Sevillian town of Los Palacios y Villafranca.

Guitar will be taken care of in this edition by Sevillian Rafael Riqueni, while baile will be split up between two young talents. On the one hand, Granada-born Fuensanta la Moneta will perform with her group. And on the other hand, Málaga-born Rocío Molina, who besides closing the festival with the show ‘El eterno retorno’, also receives the ‘Venencia Flamenca’ Award going to consolidated young artists. The courses, the exhibit devoted to Málaga folklore and the ‘trasnoches’ (late nights) at the Tertulia Flamenca El Pozo de las Penas complete the program.
