Flamenco Festival “Ciudad de Huelva”

The ninth edition of the Flamenco Festival “Ciudad de Huelva,” will be held from 30 May to 9 June organized by the City of Huelva and the Cajasol Foundation, as a great ally that once again demonstrates its commitment to culture and to Huelva and especially to flamenco.

For his part, Matilde Valdivia, representing the Cajasol Foundation, has recognized that the entity is moving with the flamencos for many years, so it is a pride to collaborate so that this festival continues to grow to become a reference of an art that we must thank the flamenco rocks and associations that get the new generations to drink from the sources of flamenco to ensure their continuity.

In this edition, the involvement of the Cajasol Foundation is evident by ceding its name to a new space, the Cajasol “Young Flamencos” stage, which includes two shows starring two young figures that, despite their youth, have already reached the recognition and applause of the public: Macarena López and JuanFran Carrasco, who will share the stage with two Onubense promises, two artists from Huelva who are currently pointing out and focusing the attention of fans and experts of the genre: There was a Cruz and Manuel Moreno Ramírez.

Along with the shows, the exhibition “Figuras Flamencas” by Patricio Hidalgo, author of the poster can be enjoyed at Casa Colón throughout the Festival, from May 30 to June 9.
