SANTIAGO LARA QUARTET & MERCEDES RUIZ

‘Like a bullfighter facing six bulls in the arena’, that is how the Spanish press describes Santiago Lara, the great promise among flamenco guitarists. The student of the famous Manolo Sanlucar visits The Netherlands for the first time with his own quartet. Dancer Mercedez Ruiz, one of the great stars of this era, frames his jazzy flamenco compositions with graceful, sparkling moves. Together they open the new Intermezzo concert series of Flamenco Biennale Netherlands.
