“Flamenco de Ley”

spainbydialibre — Tue, 25 Jun 2019 11:18:42 +0000

The Flamenco De Ley is a living legend that claims in this show the memories, the life, the feelings and persecutions of a People, a unique way of being flamenco: The Immemorial Gitanism through the artistic language of each one of the components of the show.

His own rebellion, without words … stripped of arguments. Improvisation is the artistic language of the KELIPÉ Company. Without neglecting the technical execution and evoking the FESTEROS cantes, like the Jerez bulería in all its essence or the gyrations of the SOLEA and what screams loudly in the cante and in the dance, the show becomes “chameleonic”, It transforms and varies on the stage as it progresses.

This multifaceted variety of possibilities to execute the sticks is what makes the KELIPÉ Company unique. The target audience is all those fans, whether they understand this Art or not, who want to have a close experience of what it is like to be and feel the Flamenco Gypsy. Anyone who is capable of feeling and being moved will not be impassive in front of the company’s show KELIPÉ.

The air, the sun and the salt in the dance and the gypsy cante, of Susana “LA YEDRA”, the racial voice of Antonio “El Taranto”, the mastery of the guitar of “El Indio”, and the pure and old touch of the “Azukita” guitar, shows us the “most flamenco face of Flamenco”, in a show where the heart has “reasons” that “the reason” does not understand.
