The master artists will be debuting their show “PRENDIDOS,” which in Spanish means “Lit” or “Illuminated.” Their artistry on stage reflects a series of sequences which represent different important moments in life, in general and in art: past, present, and future, in the moment of maximum splendor of flamenco through its cante (song) which is so essential for flamenco. The premier of Chateau Flamenco is a night of flamenco dedicated to Teresa Torkanowsky who re-Lit the Spanish flair of New Orleans culture a half a century ago. Her experience pulses with the ghosts of past, important artists and contemporary duendes that connect the art of flamenco and New Orleans. Local flamenco dancer María José Salmerón welcomes Spanish superstars Alfonso Losa Flamenco and Vanesa Coloma from Madrid, Spain, to New Orleans to help tell the story of her search for identity and the joy of finding community through her Spanish roots and flamenco.
