The Company brings this tradition to life vibrantly and colorfully with live musicians, vocalists and of course dancers and has delighted audiences around the world for many years. From the oldest form of flamenco, cante jondo, an intimate and deep-felt song that recounts the sorrows and hopes of the Gypsies as a people, to a vast repertoire including the solemnity of soleares and the contagious festiveness of sevillanas and alegrias, the company and its artistic director, Jose Porcel, have adorned the art form’s raw purity with high production values and theatricality.
