Dublin Goes Flamenco
A flavour of Spain is to brighten the duller Autumn days in Dublin this weekend, writes Carla Liébana.
Boasting a show that offers all the raw energy and passion of live flamenco - but in a little venue - the event will ensure a memorable experience for lovers of this dance style as well as for newcomers.
The flamenco artist Felipe de Algeciras arrives in Dublin on Friday 16 October to take part in an intimate musical evening in Dublin's Le Basement, downstairs from Le Cirk on Dame Street.
Presented by Peña Flamenca El Indalo, the renowned Spanish dancer and choreographer Felipe de Algeciras will be accompanied on guitar and cajón by Lucas González.
The performance also includes the debut of Rocío Carbonell, a flamenco dancer, singer and percussionist.
Peña Flamenca El Indalo is a not-for-profit organisation founded in 2009 and dedicated to the promotion of flamenco arts and culture in Ireland.
Its founders are from a variety of nationalities and background but they have an interest in common: flamenco.
El Indalo aims to raise awareness of this passionate, multi-disciplinary art form across Ireland, and to encourage and support the development of a community of flamenco lovers.
The peña works closely with Spanish institutions and organises these kind of gigs, classes and workshops and on 16th and 17h October, Felipe will also do another lesson at one of this workshops for people who like flamenco and also to people who want to discover this dance.
Felipe de Algeciras started danced at the age of 13. He has been more than 17 years performing and teaching flamenco abroad and he has also worked as a dancer and choreographer on a number of cinema projects, like 'The Mask of Zorro' with Antonio Banderas and 'Dot the I' starring Gael Garcia Bernal and Natalia Verbeke. Most recently he has launched his own company called 'Alma'.
Doors will open at 8.30pm and tickets cost €15. There will be live music from 9:00pm, with the dancers taking the stage at 10:00pm.
