Superstar Diego El Cigala is contemporary flamenco’s most compelling voice. A passionate singer, he has collaborated with many of the most important names in flamenco, and is known for his pioneering work in fusing flamenco with Latin American music forms such as bolero, Afro Caribbean jazz, and tango. His collaborations with Latin jazz icons Jerry Gonzalez and Bebo Valdés are revered as breakthroughs in flamenco and Latin jazz. For this program, he will present the New York premiere of “Cigala & Tango.”

José Maya, one of the most explosive dancers in Spain today, is a powerful figure in flamenco’s new generation. He has collaborated with many of the most well-known flamenco artists, including Farruquito, Estrella Morente, and Diego El Cigala, and opened for pop stars Marc Anthony, Beyoncé, and Björk.
