Devoted to flamenco music and dance, the Flamenco Arts Festival (FAF) is taking place at the historic Lobero Theatre on August 4 at 7:30 p.m. to showcase world-class flamenco artists from Spain and the U.S., featuring Alfonso Losa from Madrid in the award-winning production of Flamenco: Espacio Creativo. Losa will be accompanied by dancer and guest artist Concha Jareño, along with other artists.

Losa, a current representative of the Madrid school of flamenco,  is one of the many talented dancers, choreographers, and directors that will be at the FAF this year, proving a necessary bridge between the masters and the new generations. 

“The seed of Flamenco: Espacio Creativo is simply my love for dance in its broadest and most respectful concept,” said Losa about his production. “This is the one major reason that led me to introspection, to rework my language, to rediscover and surprise myself.”
