Jaleo Flamenco - Andalusian dance, song and guitar at The Platform
An evening of Spanish passion and emotion.
Jaleo are back at The Platform in Morecambe with a compelling new insight into the flamboyant and magical world of Andalusian dance, song and guitar, on Saturday May 23.
Since its semi-clandestine beginnings during the early 19th century as the native music of a minority in the South West corner of Spain, flamenco now emerges in the 21st century as a highly respected art form with a rapidly growing number of students worldwide.
Fusing the essential elements of flamenco with their own inimitable and charismatic brand of Spanish passion and emotion, Jaleo unleash the raw energy and sensuous rhythms inherent within flamenco. The result is a potent cocktail of explosive footwork, haunting singing, virtuoso guitar playing and percussive hand clapping from Southern Spain with some of flamenco’s finest award winning artists.
Described as ‘Passion, drama and sensuality – a hot slice of Southern Spain’ by Aberdeen Press and Journal and 'Evocative and atmospheric, a marvellous night of raw energy and emotion’ by Blackpool Gazette, this spectacular evening offers a chance to celebrate the magic of Spain at The Platform.
The show will start at 7.30pm and tickets cost £14 adults, £12 concessions from the box office on 01524 582803.
