About

Flamenco Express is the only company which regularly delivers pure flamenco to your door. Tonight's fresh cargo is no exception – with ‘sizzling soloist’ La Joaquina, guitar virtuoso Chris Clavo, the massive vocal presence of Antonio El Pola; plus the riveting talent of new guest, Fran Vilchez, a flamenco master with hypnotic powers over his helpless audience.

For over thirty years, Flamenco Express has existed to do justice to the flamenco heritage by finding the best artists, and allowing them total freedom of expression. The result is a collective experience of freedom and life in an uncertain world. A new emotional and artistic experience every night.

“Leading the dancers, La Joaquina, tiny, urgent and intense, explored a vast emotional vocabulary, and juxtaposed vulnerability and tenderness with violence and aggression.
