FLAMENCO EXPRESS
SUNDAY 24TH NOV 2024
Flamenco Express return to Britain with a new cargo of raw, heart-wrenching flamenco – with ‘sizzling soloist’ La Joaquina, guitar virtuoso Chris Clavo, the massive vocal presence of Antonio El Pola; plus the riveting talent of new guest, Kuky Santiago, king of Cádiz.
For over thirty years, Flamenco Express has existed to do justice to this unique art form by choosing the best artists and allowing them total freedom of expression. The result is a new emotional and artistic experience every night, delivered by an astonishing range of talent.
KUKY SANTIAGO
Kuky began dancing at 3 years old with his father Tony Santiago, and his uncle Leo Molina.
By the age of six he had already performed at the Palace of Fine Arts in Brussels.
Since he arrived in Cádiz at the age of 20 he has presented regular performances and established himself as one of the top dancers in the city.
Kuky has been part of "Toma Castaña", and "Maera Vieja" with which he travelled to Costa Rica. He has also participated in the Cosquín Festival in Joaquín Lineras' "El niño de la Leo" company and in the World Music festival of Gwangju and Seul (South Korea) among others.
Kuky has danced with artists as Luis de la Carrasca, David Palomar, Chiquetete, Arcangel, Mariana Cornejo and "Cascarilla de Cádiz".
