Córdoba is ready to weather another sleepless night and flamenco is “to blame”. The fourth edition of the White Night of Flamenco is already being organized: it will be on the night of June 18th to 19th, 2011. Following a two-week prelude with prior activities, the opening of the fourth edition will be taken care of by Eva Yerbabuena at the Plaza de las Tendillas. The young crossborder voices of Niña Pastori and India Martínez will join up on the macro stage of Avenida República Argentina. At the Plaza de la Corredera, rock groups Lagartija Nick and Los Planetas will pay tribute to Enrique Morente, who inaugurated the previous edition.
