Details
Jairo Barrull, an internationally successful gypsy flamenco dancer from Seville, Spain, has been performing since he was 7 years old. His family are the well-known ?Los Negros de Ronda', also known as the Diego Del Gastor family, whose artistic legacy stems back to the 19th century. Flamenco dancers Jairo Barrull and Irene 'La Sentio' are joined by a full cast of award winning gypsy musicians from Seville and Jerez to evoke the pure essence of flamenco's soul: el llanto (the cry). Jairo said: El Llanto is the root, the beginning of everything flamenco. El Llanto is purity, beauty, sadness and suffering. It is the mixture of cultures, identities and it is history. It is the voice of our ancestors, The Untouchables caste that came from India centuries ago. The singer's cry that interacts with the cry of the guitar strings is what inspires me and makes me move. It makes me lose myself in my dancing and brings about that magical moment on stage. What some might call 'El Duende'. This production is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
