From July 4 to 7, the 9th Flamencas Nights will make the city of Aubagne vibrate to the passionate rhythm of flamenco and various municipalities in the region on July 13 and 20. Supported by NOMADES KULTUR, this emblematic event of international scope will highlight the great names of flamenco while offering a stage to artists of the new generation, all in a typically Andalusian atmosphere.
The artistic direction, entrusted to JUAN CARMONA, an emblematic figure of flamenco, guarantees a rich and varied program, between tradition and modernity, with particular attention to gender parity. The guest artists, whether established stars or rising stars, will offer an international and exceptional cultural experience to all spectators.
Among the highlights of the Flamenco Nights, we will note the meeting with the dancer ANTONIO CANALES on the occasion of the screening of the film by Raul Rosillo “Antonio Canales, bailaor”; the dancer BELEN LOPEZ for the “Fiesta Flamenca” show in collaboration with the legendary Café Berlin in Madrid, organizer of the “Club Flamenco” Festival; the company ANDRES MARINa star of the flamenco avant-garde, with “Jardin Impuro” which mixes dance, song and contemporary art; the guitarist BALIARDO’S CAMP who is none other than the grandson of the mythical Manitas de Plata; PABLO CAMINIERO TRIOaccompanied by the dancer ANA MORALESfor a flamenco and jazz show; the iconic dancer KARIME AMAYA, who shone at the Jerez Festival or the Seville Bienal; or URSULA LOPEZa flamenco dance company, which will present in first in Francehis creation for 8 dancers created for the Jerez 2024 festival, “Comedia sin titulo” in homage to Garcia Lorca.
A free festival!
One of the particularities of the Nuits Flamencas is its free nature, a bold approach aimed at promoting cultural accessibility, social inclusion and diversity. The event thus allows everyone, young people, students, families or retirees, to attend shows of exceptional quality and experience unique moments.
In 2024, Flamenco Nights will extend across the Metropolis:
This year, the festival will extend beyond Aubagne to other cities in the Metropolis on July 13 and 20: La Penne-sur-Huveaune and Gémenos. This vast cultural outreach in new municipalities will allow a wide audience to enjoy the shows, while benefiting from the unique atmosphere of the Nuits Flamencas.
