New York’s idyll with flamenco has
now lasted a decade. And to commemorate this anniversary,
the 2010 New York Flamenco Festival has confirmed a program
which highlights new baile trends. This so materializes
in the opening, with the premiere of the gala ‘Todo
cambia’, including the participation of new talents
such as Pastora Galván and Manuel Liñán;
and also in the closing show, an avant-garde proposal signed
by Israel
Galván entitled ‘La edad de oro’.
The central days are reserved for a usual artist at this
festival, María Pagés, who displays her ‘Autorretrato’;
and for a young artist who became full-fledged at this forum,
Rocío
Molina, who offers ‘Oro viejo’ with her
own company. The musical side is split up between José
Antonio Rodríguez on guitar and cantaora Marina Heredia’s
world music encounter with the Orquesta Chekara de Tetuán.
The festival is to be held February 11th to 21st at the
City Center, Town Hall and the Skirball Theater.

The bill of New York Flamenco Festival
2010, organized by World Music Institute and Flamenco Festival,
opens on February 11th at the New York City Center with
the premiere of the gala ‘Todo cambia’, a show
which joins four of today’s young baile talents: Pastora
Galván, Rocío Molina, Belén López
and Manuel Liñán. Moreover, the following
night Molina will have the chance on the same stage to offer
her latest solo show, ‘Oro viejo’, a reflection
on the passing of time which was premiered at Seville’s
past Bienal de Flamenco. Then María
Pagés, a veteran of creation in flamenco dancing,
will take over. On February 13th and 14th, the Sevillian
bailaora and choreographer will display her ‘Autorretrato’,
a show which germinated at the Baryshnikov Arts Center in
this same city.
Guitar and world music
There will also be room in the tenth New
York festival for music. Córdoba-born guitarist José
Antonio Rodríguez will perform his concert ‘Córdoba…
en el tiempo’ on February 19th at the Skirball Theater.
And Granada-born cantaora Marina
Heredia will have flamenco cante dialogue with the Al-Andalusian
music of the Orquesta Chekara de Tetuán on February
20th at Town Hall. New York’s tenth encounter with
flamenco will close on February 21st at the Skirball Theater
with ‘La edad de oro’ by groundbreaking Sevillian
bailaor Israel Galván, an avant-garde proposal in
which he is alone on stage with a cantaor and a guitarist.
