Flamenco Express is a floating festival, showcasing the finest artistry possible flamenco. Bringing pure flamenco to Britain for Thirty Years. Tonight with the incomparable La Joaquina and Chris Clavo – the British debut of the internationally-acclaimed Noé Barroso. Plus the massive vocal presence of one of the custodians of flamenco culture, Antonio El Pola. Onstage this combination represents a potent artistic fusion. Another historic night when anything could happen. Flamenco is as universal, powerful and versatile as the blues, as epic as opera, and as delicate and pin-sharp as ballet. Sex and music and history in one hit. For thirty years, Flamenco Express has existed to do justice to this amazing music by giving the best artists total freedom of expression.
