The Nîmes Festival continues to lay its stakes on quality. ‘Flamenco in January 2005’ has cantaores La Susi and El Torta, the shows ‘Chamber Flamenco’ by Mayte Martín and Belén Maya, and ‘Gestures of a Woman’ by Mercedes Ruiz in its fifth edition. Moreover, it offers its stage to young talents such as the winners of the 2004 Córdoba Contest - Gabriel Expósito, La Tremendita and Soraya Clavijo -, the winner of the La Unión Bordón Minero, Javier Conde, and cantaor Antonio Ortega Jr. The event opens with a production by the Pepe Linares Flamenco Group, inspired by Federico García Lorca's ‘El Romancero Gitano’. Already having appeared at this consolidated French flamenco event are artists of the likes of Vicente Amigo, Remedios Amaya, Antonio Canales and Diego el Cigala.
