https://artsandlectures.ucsb.edu/Details.aspx?PerfNum=4156 #FarruquitoJourney into the very spirit of flamenco with one of the most famous names of the art form. Born into a flamenco dynasty, Andalusian “flamenco puro” royalty Farruquito weaves an ancestral spell, blending fiercely stunning and intricate rhythmic foot patterns – performed at harrowing speeds – with elegant and expressive body movements. With his masterful ensemble of dancers, singers and musicians, “the greatest flamenco dancer of the century” (The New York Times) displays his technical prowess, dramatic flair and brilliant sense of invention in “quite simply… one of the most exciting flamenco shows in recent memory” (The Boston Globe).
“I’ve never seen any flamenco dancer with such dynamic variety.” The New York Times
“Raw, visceral, and executed with blazing intensity and immediacy.” The Boston Globe
