Paco Peña has thrilled audiences for many years with his masterful flamenco performances, famed for their passion and authenticity. The legendary flamenco guitarist returns to Liverpool Philharmonic with his brand new show Flamenco sin Fronteras, which world premiered at Sadler’s Wells in 2009 and is inspired by the diverse sights, sounds and cultures of Latin America.
Delving into an often overlooked period of flamenco history, Paco Peña explores the music and the many dance styles that emerged through the migration of Spanish performers to Latin America in the early 1900s, and their significant impact on flamenco today.
The show features four dancers from Peña's own company, a guest dancer from Venezuela and 12 virtuoso musicians and singers performing live on stage. Audiences will be taken on a journey right to the heart of Latin America, packed with all the intensity, depth and raw energy that have become this maestro's trademark.
