Hamid Ajbar: Two stories, one path

Out of doors
Concert
All audiences

An encounter between music and dance that unites two cultures: Arabo-Andalusian and Flamenco. Although these traditions emerged at different times, they have crossed paths in time and space, both meeting on the margins of society. This show combines the depth of flamenco singing with the lyrical poetry of Andalusian moaxajas and zejel verses, interwoven with Eastern rhythms. The result is a jondo fusion of exquisite refinement, with a freshness that evokes the warm, fragrant breezes that blow over the Alhambra on summer nights.
