The Spanish are coming to dance
As part of the Spanish National Day celebrations, the Embassy of Spain has organised two Flamenco shows in Windhoek and Swakopmund during October.
Flamenco is one of the most ancient artistic expressions of Spanish art, Flamenco and was declared an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Mankind by Unesco in 2010.
The Spanish nation commemorates the world renowned explorer Christopher Columbus's first successful voyage to the new world in 1492.
For this commemoration the group headed by Spanish guitarist El Macareno will present the show called Tablao Flamenco, which refers to the intimate venues and environments in which Flamenco has traditionally been performed, will include tunes inspired by its most well-known movements.
Other group members include Eva González a dancer, choreographer and dance teacher at the Cordoba International Flamenco Centre and Juan Antonio Claus Fernández a singer from Cordoba and former singing teacher in Spanish and Japanese schools.
Jorge del Pino a dancer and percussionist, specialized in the Flamenco cajón, who has performed in Spain, Italy, Poland, France, Switzerland and Hungary, also forms part of the group. Pino also has his own dance school in Cordoba and has taught dance in Switzerland and Japan.
The Windhoek show will take place at the National Theatre of Namibia (NTN) on Friday 13 October 2017 at 19:00.
Tickets are available at the NTN and Computicket for N$70.
The Swakopmund show will take place the Namib Primary School Hall on Saturday 14 October 2017 at 19:00.
Tickets are available at Die Muschel Art Gallery for N$70.
All the proceeds will be donated to Physically Active Namibia (PAY), an organisation providing after-school education and sport training to children in Katutura.
