Flamenco Express @ Landor with Fran Vilchez

Event information

Flamenco Express is the only company which regularly delivers pure flamenco to your door. Tonight's fresh cargo is no exception – with ‘sizzling soloist’ La Joaquina, guitar virtuoso Chris Clavo, the massive vocal presence of Antonio El Pola; plus the riveting talent of new guest, Fran Vilchez, a flamenco master with hypnotic powers over his invariably helpless audience.
For over thirty years, Flamenco Express has existed to do justice to flamenco's  heritage by giving the best artists total freedom of expression. The result is a timely reminder of freedom and life in an uncertain world.

CUTTINGS
“then came Fran Vilchez. Well what can I say - he oozed sex appeal from every pore. After watching him perform for 15 minutes I was exhausted! “ . - Trip Advisor
“Leading the dancers, La Joaquina, tiny, urgent and intense, explored a vast emotional vocabulary, and juxtaposed vulnerability and tenderness with violence and aggression. Her feet rattle off tempestuous beats, her sinewy arms snake angrily and her taut body is totally driven by her feelings.” Emma Manning. The Stage
“Unlike some of the splashy and slightly pretentious star-name shows at the festival flamenco, this performance is totally direct; immediate, involving and completely beguiling.” - Exeunt Magazine
