Festival pays tribute to the bailaor family Los Galván

Flamenco-world.com, November 2008
For the first time, the Galván
family gathers on stage. José Galván and Eugenia
de los Reyes will dance with their children Israel
and Pastora
at the Thèâtre on the night of January 23rd.
This encounter between tradition and the avant-garde which
coexist in the same home will be one of the main attractions
in the nineteenth edition of the Nîmes Flamenco Festival,
which is to be held on several stages in the city in the
south of France from January 15th to 25th, 2009. Voices
like those of Chiquetete, José Valencia and Juan
José Amador, guitars such as those of Alfredo Lagos
and Antonio Rey, and the trio of bailaoras uniting in ‘Mujeres’
are some of the proposals in a program which also includes
courses, lectures, encounters and photo exhibits.
