flamenco gala: CARMEN CORTÉS, RAFAELA
CARRASCO, OLGA PERICET
“Here is flamenco at its most proud and elemental. Rarely can we see artistry of this caliber;
we are privileged.” Financial Times, London
Three of flamenco’s leading female dancers – Carmen Cortés, Rafaela Carrasco and Olga
Pericet – share the stage in a virtuosic dance display ranging from the gypsy roots of flamenco
to contemporary innovations. Cortés, one of the great names in flamenco, has been celebrated
worldwide for her performances of flamenco puro; Rafaela Carrasco has become an important
figure in the new generation of flamenco dancers and choreographers; and Olga Pericet has
created a sensation in flamenco circles in recent years and is considered one of the most
outstanding dancers of the young generation.

compañía MANUELA CARRASCO
suspiro flamenco
“Carrasco is a monumental artist – grand intoxication of foot and torso, flailing
limbs beating music from the air – the real and absolute flamenco” Financial
Times, London
Manuela Carrasco’s new show features the purity and essence of gypsy
flamenco. Known as the “Empress of Flamenco Dance”, she has been awarded
many prizes for her unique and natural style of “baile gitano” (gypsy dancing).
In 1974 she won the prestigious Pastora Imperio National Dance Award and
this was the start of many honors that she would receive during her career.

“Truly original and modern flamenco” The New York Times

JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER
NIÑO JOSELE & DOUG WAMBLE
Jazz Meets Flamenco
“A combination of tension and absolute tranquility, of harmonically complex
chords that fall together in a piece that´s stunning in its utter simplicity”
(Niño Josele) New York Sun
At first glance, jazz and flamenco may not appear to have a common musical
ancestry. But beneath the surface, both share a common root born out of
the traditional music and dance forms of West Africa. In this outstanding
double bill, multitalented jazz guitarist Doug Wamble and flamenco guitar
virtuoso Niño Josele will lead their respective ensembles through this rich
interconnected musical territory. The two groups will also join forces to
perform new music composed by Wamble especially for this concert.
