The Municipal Delegation of Culture and the Peña Flamenca de Ronda have announced a flamenco gathering as part of the celebrations for World Flamenco Day, which is observed on 16 November. The event will take place on Thursday, 12 November, starting at 21:30 at the Peña's headquarters.
Finalists from the Aniya la Gitana International Singing and Dance Competition will participate in the event. According to Rebeca Muñoz, the councillor for culture, the lineup includes Antonio López on vocals, Isabel Alarcón on dance, Álvaro Mora on guitar, and Álvaro ‘El Saraiba’ on clapping and rhythm.
Regarding previously announced events, Muñoz noted that they are monitoring weather conditions, as performances by the academies of Rocío Romero and Miguel Lorca were planned for outdoor venues. If necessary, alternative locations will be arranged, and updates will be provided accordingly.
Muñoz has invited all residents of Ronda to engage in the activities planned for what is being referred to as the Flamenco Month, aimed at promoting this art form, which has been declared an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Francisco Morilla, president of the Peña Flamenca de Ronda, emphasised the high calibre of artists participating in the flamenco gathering, promising an enjoyable experience for both aficionados and newcomers to this vibrant art form.
