Performer: Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía

On this opening night of el Farruquito's return engagement he turned in a terrific performance that brought down the house.

The Gala is a great introduction to flamenco and a delight for aficionados. It offers a varied repertoire across flamenco disciplines escalating from precision to passion.

To be explicit, Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía is explosive. But to describe this show as just a dance performance would be negligent. The absolute power radiating from City Center’s stage this week comes not only from the dancers, but the musicians and the music, from traditions carried on in caves across the south of Spain.
