Jose Merino
http://www.facebook.com/jose.merino.790
From his professional debut in 1992 under none other than José Granero, Jose Merino has constantly danced with the greatest names in flamenco all over the world.
Not to be missed.
Natalia Garcia-Huidobro
Studied with La China, Alejandro Granados, Juana Amaya, Manuel Liñán, Rafaela Carrasco, La Tacha and Manuel Reyes.
In Spain she made her solo show "Mi Piezas para un abandono" and collaborated with Miguel Cañas company in the show "El quejío del Silencio".
Based in Madrid she has worked at the legendary Café de tablaos Chinitas, Las Carbonera and El Corral de la Morería, and performed with the Compañía de Juan Antonio de los Reyes (Lutraki, Greece), flamenco quartet mura in Japan and "Bailando sobre la lluvia", a performance by Manolo Punto (París).
Manuel de la Malena
No true music lover can pass by the chance to experience Manuel's brand of flamenco. His performances reveal flamenco as a truly universal art form, comparable with the highest opera or coolest jazz, and conveys the often tortured, often wonderful history of the gypsy people.
From Jerez de La Frontera, in the 'golden triangle' of flamenco, Manuel is the essence of flamenco puro. A descendant of Tio Louis el de la Juliana - one of the originators of modern Flamenco cante, when he sings, that deep, colourful history fills the theatre. A regular prizewinner at festivals in France and Spain he has sung at the Festival de la Union, Cante Grande de Almeria and the National Festival de Cordoba working alongside legends such as Tio Borrico, Antiano Mairena, and Vicente Soto Sordera. A regular collaborator with La Tati, especially on her experimental adaptations, and with internationally acclaimed dancer Domingo Ortega.
