The 19th edition of “Fuego Flamenco Festival” brings together leading Flamenco artists from Spain and the U.S. in a two-week festival.

Focusing on contemporary dance and traditional and innovative flamenco dance and music, this international festival brings dancers and musicians from around the globe to GALA’s stage. Performing artists from New Mexico, Arizona, California, El Salvador, and Andalusia (Spain) share their artistry and stories through movement, dance, and song for two weeks.

La Banda Morisca’s music emanates from the rich tapestry of old Al-Andaluz, a region deeply influenced by Islamic traditions and interwoven connections with the Middle East. The band draws upon these ancient ties, bridging cultures.

Co-directed by Edwin Aparicio and Aleksey Kulikov, Enredo is a reflection of the dual nature of the human experience, individual and social. It explores solitude and a relationship not as two opposites but as a spectrum, where individuality and unity are in a constant dance with each other, co-creating an intricate tapestry of human lives. Choreographed by Iván Orellana, recipient of the prestigious GALA Fuego Flamenco Award at the 2022 Competition of Spanish Dance and Flamenco in Madrid.
