Women In Flamenco: a Homage

In the intimate and indisputably authentic form of a “tablao”, this celebratory show presents an enthralling collection of flamenco “palos”/songs as well as dance spanning from the most traditional to the most contemporary. Accomplished performers Natalia (dance), Leo (voice) and Ramón (guitar) paint passionate scenes portraying women who have marked the history of flamenco.

Singer La Leo Power is based in her native Cádiz. Natalia García-Huidobro is based in Madrid, from where she has worked on numerous flamenco projects around Europe and beyond. Ramón, originally from Granada, is a leading light in the art of flamenco in London. All three performers have lived and breathed performance from their earliest years: Natalia is from a theatrical Chilean family and Ramón and Leo have grown up with flamenco as the rhythm of their daily lives.

Accompanying them on percussion will be Demi García Sabat, from Barcelona who is, like Ramón Ruiz, an extremely sought-after performer on the UK music scene.
