The 20th Flamenco Festival NYC 2022 with Mañuel Liñán and a Gala Flamenca is at New York City Center in Midtown, Fri-Sun, Apr 22-24. From $35. nycitycenter.org 🇪🇸
“Viva!” is Flamenco in Drag with Manuel Liñán and six men performing as women. In Spain, Flamenco is a very traditional community, so for Spain this is wild. But the men can really dance. It’s great to feel the joy of being whoever you want to be.
Gala Flamenca is an exquisite taste of the many flavors of Spanish Flamenco. Mercedes Ruiz is known for her virtuosity. Eduardo Guerrero is loved for his wild solos. María Moreno dances the traditional Flamenco of Cádiz. María Terremoto is a rising star, the youngest winner of the Giraldillo Award for New Artists at the Seville Flamenco Biennial which is one of the world’s most respected Flamenco festivals.
In the past, present, and future of Flamenco, there is something for everyone at New York City Center. ¡Olé!
