Rafaela Carrasco

Rafaela Carrasco knows all there is to know about flamenco. Dancer, choreographer and teacher all around the world, she has designed pieces for the Spanish National Ballet and the Flamenco Biennial in Seville, directed the Andalusian Flamenco Ballet and won numerous prizes. She knows every intimate detail of the history of this dance which began as a song. In El Viaje, accompanied by the world of flamenco's most highly-regarded dancers, singers and musicians, she takes us on a genealogical journey through an art with which the public is still not very familiar.

We will discover the Tonás, the Fandangos Soleares and the Siguiriyas. We will hear the magnificent voice of Gema Caballero. Alongside Rafaela, we will admire the dancing of Javier Barón, Rubén Olmo and Alfonso Losa. We will get a close-up view of tientos, rondeñas and cantiñas. And we will discover, in music, rhythms and virtuosic gestures, the roots and intertwining that nurture and make up the art form we know as flamenco.
