The culminating performance of the HOUSTON SPANISH AND FLAMENCO FESTIVAL will feature critically acclaimed flamenco dancer La Tania and a stellar cast of singers Jesus Montoya and Kina Mendez and guitarist Roberto Aguilar. The evening’s performance, titled “Esencia,” pays homage to the essence of the art of flamenco, journeying to its soulful core.
After three decades on stages around the world in eclectic performances ranging in style from traditional to modern, La Tania returns to traditional flamenco in an intimate setting, focusing on the art form’s fundamental elements. The deep and passionate cante (singing), the cry of the evocative guitar, and the solo dancer moved by spontaneous emotion will pay homage to the essence of flamenco.
La Tania will perform a series of solos with varying moods, ranging from the deep Soleares to the lively and vibrant Alegrías using a white shawl and bata de cola. Solo guitar and cante (song) will be the evening’s highlight as well to complete the program.
