Paco de Lucía said that every two steps forward he took one step back so as not to lose his way. In that balanced dance this art is held, which from its own roots is projecting towards the horizon. The Seville Flamenco Biennial, in this sense, is not a showcase of what is happening, but rather an event in which times come together to last in memory. The expression of expressions, so to sum it up.

A whole festival that serves as a model for other events, in which singing, dancing and guitar in their different aesthetics are at the center of endless sensibilities. Its twenty-third edition, which coincides with the tenth anniversary of the death of the sonanta master, will be the celebration of this time in which we live. A Biennial of meetings. Those of the Andalusian capital with this cultural event that happens every two years. And those of the artists themselves, among them, brought together in the heat of a program that is committed to the singularity of spaces and moments. Unique encounters. Unexpectedly expected. With today’s greatest exponents, legendary teachers, new talents and a city that for several weeks will become a rhythmic stage. Seville sings with ribs and cobblestones. Through its corners, marrow and in the shadow of centuries that La Paquera clarified in a lyric by Manuel Alejandro. Flamenco is many things: discovery plus search, the synthesis of a scream, getting lost in a tremolo in which suddenly the fingers that make it sound go and disappear… They all have in common, however, that from their forge they make of Seville, a territory of deep creativity. This festival is a red drop falling on the surface of a map. Something pointed out. The center and the stone. The staging of a tradition in continuous movement that differentiates us from the rest of the globe.

A necessarily universal and Sevillian Biennial. Flamenco. With the beat placed on the hip of the world.
