Vientos flamencos
World premiere propels flamenco to new heights
Twelve years after their programme Historias de Viento, the Flamenco Biennial and the Netherlands Wind Ensemble (NBE) are joining forces again. This time together with flamenco singer David Lagos from Jerez de la Frontera, a city known for its rich flamenco tradition. Lagos, with his highly expressive freedom, ventures in and out of the traditional cante jondo singing style. Together with the NBE, he presents a programme that both embraces the flamenco tradition and explores new musical paths.
The NBE breaks new flamenco ground with compositions by Florian Magnus Maier, that cleverly fuse flamenco with classical and metal. The wind players also perform contemporary works by guitarist Tino van der Sman and original repertoire by Lagos. Dancer Úrsula López accompanies the music with vibrant rhythmic improvisations, marking her Biennale debut.
