ROCK FLAMENCO premier was in May 2019 at San Francisco
International Festival
Rock Flamenco is a collaborative project between Theatre
Flamenco's Artistic Director Carola Zertuche and musicians coming from
different musical backgrounds including Flamenco, Rock & Latin Diaspora
music.
Rock Flamenco is inspired by a time in 1970s following
the death of Franco. La Movida Madrileña & Rock Andaluz were ascendant in
Spanish popular music, including various strands of progressive rock. Until
then flamenco had remained separate from the rock music movement, but in the
period following the death of the dictator and the relaxing of censorship laws
a wave of cross-disciplinary experimentation took place. This initially
outraged flamenco purists who saw it as the death knell of the form. But it
turned out to be one of the great periods of innovation, transformation and
renaissance as flamenco, popular culture and the people of Spain began to
experience and experiment with democracy once again.
Theatre Flamenco Artistic Director Carola Zertuche will
adapt six compositions of flamenco rock to create a unique Flamenco Performance
to pay homage to this pivotal point in Spain’s history.
