Madrid’s cultural program
in summer has a flamenco flavor. From July 25th to August
12th, the Sabatini Gardens, an outdoor spot next to the
Royal Palace, once again plays host to a succulent flamenco
festival. Cante, baile and toque split up the bill, which
among other highlights, includes a face-off between José
Mercé and Enrique de Melchor, an encounter between
Lole Montoya and Alba Molina, and the presentation of Antonio
Pitingo’s début album together with the Habichuela
family.
José Menese, Gerardo Núñez,
Blanca del Rey, Vicente Soto, Potito... shape up this festival
included in Veranos de la Villa 2006. This extensive cultural
program also takes flamenco to other venues in the Spanish
capital, as is the case of Enrique Morente, Estrella Morente,
and Michel Camilo & Tomatito at the Main Courtyard of
Cuartel de Conde Duque, and the encounter between Jorge
Pardo and Enrique de Melchor in the jazz series at the Sabatini
Gardens.
