IVÁN VARGAS was born in Granada in 1986 into one of the strongest family trees in the flamenco world – Los Maya– which includes such renowned artists as Mario Maya and Manolete.

Iván Vargas grew up dancing from its family business the cave “Cueva La Rocío”. At the tender age of 8 he premiered in Madrid at the hand of Cristóbal Reyes at the prestigious tablao “Zambra”. From that moment on, his career rapidly expanded, performing in renowned flamenco venues such as Casa Patas, Corral de la Morería, Café de Chinitas and with solo performances at the Bienal de Sevilla, and also abroad, in Italy and the USA. He danced alongside heavy weights of flamenco – Eva la Yerbabuena and Farruquito- and performed with maestro Enrique Morente and José Mercé. He collaborated with fashion designers Victorio y Lucchino, and starred in the documentary “Siete sentimientos flamencos” –written by Ortiz Nuevo-. He contributed also to the shows of the prestigious theatre group “Fura dels Baus”.

With such a remarkable track record, Iván Vargas (Heredia by maternal lineage, not to be forgotten) returns to Los Angeles. This performance reflects his particular vision and feel for flamenco, yet stays true to his roots of dancing with the sights, sounds, and scents of his hometown. He mixes the energy of his youth with the knowledge of the past through collaborations with choreographers Juan Andrés Maya and Manolete.

His co-stars Yolanda Arroyo, Claudia de la Cruz and the Zermeño Academy dancers come to the stage performing Alegrías, Tientos and Caña with the magnificent singing of José Cortés, superb guitarist Andrés Vadin and special guest Paco Arroyo along with percussionist Diego Alvarez.

This show combines past, present and future on the same stage. Vida Flamenca welcomes Ivan Vargas for a return performance here in San Pedro.

“CUMBRE FLAMENCA”
Presentando Iván Vargas

Iván Vargas (Granada, 1986), emana de uno de los árboles genealógicos más robustos del flamenco, Los Maya, donde también podemos encontrar nombres como Mario Maya o Manolete, por citar algunos.

Iván Vargas sale de la Cueva “La Rocío” prácticamente bailando, y con tan solo 8 años se presenta en Madrid de la mano de Cristóbal Reyes en el tablao madrileño Zambra. A partir de ahí comienza su sólida carrera: de los emblemáticos Casa PatasCorral de la Morería o el Café de Chinitas a recitales en la Bienal de Sevilla, Italia o Estados Unidos. De bailar junto a pesos pesados como Eva La Yerbabuena o Farruquito a compartir escenario con el maestro Enrique Morente o José Mercé. De colaborar con Victorio y Lucchino en la moda a participar en documentales como Siete sentimientos flamencos –con guión de Ortiz Nuevo–, pasando por actuaciones junto a la prestigiosa compañía contemporánea Fura dels Baus.

Un espectáculo en el que refleja su flamenco y su particular forma de sentirlo sin olvidar en ningún momento del baile los pilares fundamentales de su sangre y el barrio que le vió nacer. Así, expone una rica mezcolanza entre su savia nueva y la sabiduría vieja, pues en este proyecto han colaborado los maestros Juan Andrés Maya y Manolete en la labor de coreógrafos.

Este espectáculo también incluye a Yolanda Arroyo, Claudia de la Cruz y los bailarines de la Academia Zermeño interpretando Alegrías, Tientos y Caña con el magnífico canto de José Cortés, el excelente guitarrista Andrés Vadin y el invitado especial Paco Arroyo junto con el percusionista Diego Álvarez.

Este espectáculo combina pasado, presente y futuro en el mismo escenario.

Exceptional workshops with Iván Vargas direct from the heart of Andalucía and the Sacromonte in Granada, Spain.

    There is no way I would miss this show. Beth knows how to identify and produce the best flamenco! If you are a novice or just interested in the artform, or a seasoned flamenco person, you should know simply by seeing it is a Beth Nesbit production it is a show not to be missed!. I am going to see Ivan Vargas and the line-up of top musicians that will accompany him tonight!
