2006 FF LOn Programa

10 - 25 February 2006

Welcome to
the Flamenco Festival, London

The festival is now in its third year and is Photo: C. Hopkinson
going from strength to strength. This is
our biggest and most ambitious yet and
it is a great pleasure to work again with
Miguel Marin, the Madrid based
producer of the festival.

We present the many contrasting
influences that have maintained
flamenco’s position in world art and offer
a range of artists, from those pushing the
boundaries of the form to those working
in the more traditional gypsy style. We
are also extremely proud to host two of
Spain’s biggest dance companies, Ballet
Flamenco de Andalucia, performing for
the first time at Sadler’s Wells led by the
legendary Cristina Hoyos; and Ballet
Nacional de España, famed for its
outstanding folkloric traditional dance.

The festival will also include workshops
and contemporary flamenco
performances in the Lilian Baylis Theatre,
including dance, song and guitar
recitals. I hope you enjoy seeing your
favourite artists and styles and perhaps
also take a chance on something new.

Javier SuárezMAPPING FLAMENCO:
ANDALUSIA IN THE WORLD

By James Woodall

Can flamenco be mapped? The answer
is more surprising than might be
suspected. Geographically, yes it can
but the mapping of this most
distinctive of all Spain’s folk cultures
has more than just a cartographical
dimension.

The form in the 21st century has
moved, and is still moving, far from its
Andalusian source. Flamenco
performers now collaborate with jazz
artists, with choreographers of more
classical dance forms, with writers and
film-makers, with singers and
instrumentalists from every continent.
Nightclubs for the baile (flamenco
dance) - called tablaos - abound in
Tokyo, Japan.

Most major cities in Europe, and many
in North America, have flamenco
courses, festivals, symposia, clubs for
aficionados - and those who spend
evenings in London trying to learn the
steps for a bulería or listening to a
more than half-decent tocaor or
cantaor in a Spanish-style café will
know that the British capital is no
exception.

The miracle of flamenco, once a
rasping cry from the gypsy ghettos in
Spain’s deep south, is that over 100
years it has become a musical idiom of
almost universal recognition and heft.
Proponents of flamenco’s traditions,
possessors of its secrets and those
prepared to bend or experiment with
them are invited to concert halls and
theatres round the world.

Cinema has also played its part,
notably in the 1980s films of Carlos
Saura (Bodas de sangre, Carmen and
El amor brujo - all with Antonio Gades

shapes and sounds of flamenco affiliation brings much to bear on the siguiriya, the soleá. Before them, from

the region’s gypsy forges, came the
ancient martinete, named after the
blacksmith’s hammer; from a prison
(cárcel in Spanish) the carcelera. Both
are considered the ur-forms of
everything we hear, and see, in today’s
flamenco.

Sticking for a moment more to
geography: from Huelva, south-west of
Seville, comes the fandango,
multiplying in form and character in
towns and villages around that city. In
Malaga, well to the south-east of
Seville, the fandango becomes the
malagueña; in Ronda the rondeña; in
Granada the granaína; in Cartagena
the cartaganera. From Almeria comes
the taranta; from Murcia the murciana.

Flamenco travels - not necessarily a Rafael Campallo company
given, as the best of it can be tough on
the ear - and those who perform the
cante, baile and toque (singing,
dancing and guitar-playing) show us
how it reaches and shakes the soul far
more graphically than a mere text can.
It is just worth remembering that all
performers carry in their minds a place
as much as they do a cante in their
mouths, compás (rhythm) in their feet,
a falseta (guitar run) under their fingers.

BALLET FLAMENCO SARA BARAS

Sabores For Concha, my mother

Awarded Spain’s National Prize for
Dance in 2003, Sara Baras is
famous for her traditional flamenco.
She presents her latest work, premiered
in Paris in December, which is the final
piece in a trilogy of works and is
dedicated to her mother and maestra,
Concha Baras.

Sabores (Flavours) is not driven by any
narrative structure; rather, it explores
the different palos, or styles, of
flamenco music and highlights different
emotional states. Musical numbers are
combined with choreography so that
the show escalates to a crescendo,
both in terms of the variety of styles as
well as the risks undertaken by the
performers.

The show brings together Sara Baras,
her ballet corps, two guest bailaores
and six musicians conducted by José
María Bandera for 13 scenes of music
and dance. While the rhythm builds,
Sara Baras displays her talents of heel-
tapping and flamenco dancing with a
colourful background of light and
costumes.

SARA BARAS was born in Cádiz and Ignacio Gallego
started dancing at the age of eight at
her mother’s school. Very soon she Ignacio Gallego
danced on stage with the children’s
group Los Niños de la Tertulia with
whom she visited flamenco festivals.
At 18, she won the first prize of the
Spanish television programme Gente
Joven. She danced with Manuel
Morao’s company in Esa forma de
vivir, which toured in Paris, New York,
Japan and in Seville’s Universal Expo.
She completed her studies in Madrid
under the guidance of major artists
including Ciro, Manolete, El Güito,
Merche Esmeralda, Antonio Canales
and Dania González. She also shared
the stage with Javier Barón and El
Güito and was a guest performer for
Antonio Canales’ company in Gitano,
Torero, A cuerda y tacón, Raíz and
Romancero Gitano.

Shortly after filming Flamenco Women
by Mike Figgis in 1997, she set up her
own company, Ballet Flamenco Sara
Baras. Her first work, Sensaciones, a
flamenco recital composed exclusively
by female dancers, was premiered in
1998. Soon after in 1999, she
premiered Sueños and invited José
Serrano to become a guest performer
in her company. Sara and José danced
in Juana la loca (vivir por amor), which
was awarded three Max Awards for
Best Interpreter, Best Choreography
and Best Dance Show.

In 2002, she worked with director Lluis
Pasqual on the critically acclaimed
drama ballet Mariana Pineda, which
toured internationally. Following this
success, she received Spain’s most
prestigious dance award, the 2003
Premio Nacional de Danza. Soon after,
she danced with Chavela Vargas in
Spanish and Latin American theatres.
She also choreographed and
interpreted the roles of Albaicín and
Asturias with José Serrano in Iberia by
Carlos Saura.

Sabores, which complete the trilogy of
recitals started with Sensaciones, was
premiered in Paris in December 2005.

COMPAÑIA A ndrés Marín’s feats reach beyond
ANDRÉS MARÍN the realm of one dance form.
Using vocals, lighting and live music
Asimetrías he blends tradition and avant-garde
flamenco styles in a way that allows
flamenco to evolve, while still
respecting its eternal values. He
combines stamping in steel nailed
boots and 1-2 heel-toe beats with slow
turns followed by arrested jumps that
end in feathery landings.

In Asimetrías (Asymmetrical) he
constantly plays with precariousness,
leaning at such an angle that it seems
he’s carrying all his weight on his
calves. He is accompanied on stage by
two singers, two guitarists and a
percussionist. Perhaps because of
where he comes from - he’s the son of
dancer Andrés Marín and singer Isabel
Vargas - Marín shows his respect for
flamenco music by surrounding
himself with stellar musicians. The
percussion of Marín’s feet blend with
the instruments, which is anything but
asymmetrical.

‘Asimetrías embodies a need to
communicate, a field for
experimentation, a meeting point –
with tonight’s performance I offer you
my interpretation.’ ANDRÉS MARÍN

Winner of the Latin Grammy for the Best Flamenco Album in 2001, Vicente Amigo is one of the most outstanding flamenco
concert guitarists. He is respected and admired for his exploration in flamenco styles, artistic creativity and his capacity
for innovation.

In Un Momento en el Sonido, Vicente Amigo plays a selection of tracks from his recent solo album recorded after five years of
touring and collaborations with other artists. This evening features great and timeless guitar playing with a strong flamenco
character – mixing flamenco puro with elements of bulería, bolero, rumba, tango and alegría.

VICENTE AMIGO was born in 1967 in the The Artists
district of Guadalcanal, Seville, but grew
up in Córdoba. He was given his first Guitar: Vicente Amigo

him international recognition. In 1991, Road Manage: Victor José Vilaplana
his first solo record, De Mi Corazón Al Production: Montoya Musical

success, he was invited to share the
stage with internationally renowned
musicians John McLaughlin, David
Bowie, Stanley Jordan, Keith Richards,
Joao Bosco, Camarón de la Isla and
Jools Holland, among others.

In 1992, he performed with Paco de
Lucia, Phil Manzanera, Bob Dylan and
Joe Cocker at the pre-EXPO’92 Leyendas
de la Guitarra in Seville. That same year,
he premiered his new work Poeta,
based on Rafael Alberti’s poem, at the
Orquestra de Córdoba. This piece was
recorded in 1997 and went on to win
the Best Flamenco Author and Best
Flamenco Composer Flamenco prizes at
the Premios de Música. He met up again
with Paco de Lucia in 1993 at the
Festival de Maestres de la Guitarra,
Portugal.

Vicente Amigo composed and produced
Del amanecer, accompanied by singer
José Mercé. At its launch in 1998, the
record was critically acclaimed within
the world of flamenco. In 2000, he was
awarded the Medalla de Andalucía by
the Regional Government of Andalusia.
His record, Ciudad de las ideas, was
released in October 2000, winning a
Latin Grammy for best flamenco album
of 2001.

He launched his fifth solo album Un Gloria Rodríguez
Momento en el Sonido in 2005. At
present, he lives in Córdoba.

ENRIQUE MORENTE

En Concierto

E nrique Morente is one of the great
revolutionaries of flamenco. With
his enthusiasm for innovation, he was
the first to adapt the verses of Spanish
poets in his songs; he has blended
flamenco with Gregorian chanting,
worked with Indian musicians, and has
merged flamenco with rock in his most
revolutionary work, Omega, which he
made with the rock band Lagartija
Nick.

In tonight’s performance, Enrique
Morente sings from a selection of
flamenco styles from Southern Spain,
as well as songs from Andalusia’s rich
poetic heritage, including Alegrías,
Malagueña, Granaína, Soleares,
Taranta, Seguiriya and Tangos among
others.

The performance will end at
approximately 8:30pm. There is no
interval.

Enrique Morente was born in Granada Courtesy of Macande
in 1942 and was introduced to cante
flamenco when he was still a child. He
left Granada to go to Madrid at 18
where he established connections with
some of the big names of cante
including Pepe el de La Matrona,
Bernardo el de Los Lobitos and Juan
Varea. He also sang with dancers and
performers in Madrid’s tablaos and
flamenco stages. He went on to take
part in important flamenco festivals
sharing the bill with the main names
of cante flamenco.

He began to record in 1967 and
although his records maintained a
strong traditional background, he
added a personal imprint by reviving
old cantes. In his third record,
Homenaje flamenco, a Miguel
Hernández (1971), Enrique Morente
was one of the first singers to include
verses written by literary poets in his
songs. In 1977, he launched his record
Homenaje a don Antonio Chacón for
which he was awarded the Premio
Nacional de Música Popular de España
by the Culture Ministry. This was the
first time a flamenco artist had won
this award.

Enrique Morente is one of the most
versatile artists in current flamenco
which has led him to create music for
theatre, films and television. He is
presently the most exciting male
cantaor developing fusion flamenco.
He is praised for reinventing the cante
in a groundbreaking and often
controversial style, resulting in a fresh
and new flamenco sound. He is now
considered the most influential
personality on the professional
flamenco scene. Balbino Gutiérrez
published a book titled Enrique
Morente, la voz libre in 1996.

Golpes da la Vida

A middle-aged man lives his life
immersed in sadness; he thinks he is
useless to society until a young man
crosses his path. This young man’s
energy brings back the old man’s
enthusiasm, as he teaches him what
he knows of the old ways and
traditions. However in his teaching
he subjects the young man to his iron
discipline and perfectionism.

The duet explores the difficult
dilemma of absorbing the teachings of
a master, while remaining true to your
own identity. JOSÉ ANTONIO

ANTONIO EL PIPA FLAMENCO
DANCE COMPANY

De Tablao

The formidable Antonio El Pipa, who
descends from a dynasty of gypsy
artists, pays tribute to golden age of
tablao, the pure, traditional flamenco
dancing and song which first originated
in the restaurants and cafes of Spain.

Antonio el Pipa, renowned for his soulful
performances in the traditional Gypsy
flamenco style, is accompanied by
special guests Mariana Cornejo and
Juana la del Pipa. This is flamenco dance
in its purest form, free from tricks or
embellishment – raw, earthy and sincere.

‘How could anyone today not be
grateful to those tablao artists, where
only a note in the air is enough to warm
up - feeling and causing feelings,
giving and demanding, suffering and
enjoying. Typical Spain, why forget it?’
