Produced and presented by Flamenco Express
Flamenco Express returns to London with a new cargo of raw, heart-wrenching flamenco – with 'sizzling soloist’ La Joaquina, guitar virtuoso Chris Clavo, the vocal dynamism of Jasmine Villalobos and the blazing talent of Adrián Brenes.
For thirty years, Flamenco Express has existed to do justice to this unique art form. Choosing the best artists and allowing them total freedom of expression. The result is an honest window to freedom and life in world of lies.
A fresh emotional and artistic world every night.

CUTTINGS
“Leading the dancers, La Joaquina, tiny, urgent and intense, explored a vast emotional vocabulary, and juxtaposed vulnerability and tenderness with violence and aggression. Her feet rattle off tempestuous beats, her sinewy arms snake angrily and her taut body is totally driven by her feelings.” Emma Manning. The Stage
