The singer Arcangel brings to Generalife Theatre a tour of the fandango of Huelva through the title ‘The route of the fandango’.
The show, scheduled for August 30, is part of the ‘Lorca and Granada in the Generalife Gardens’ cycle, a program of the Ministry of Culture and Sport through the Andalusian Agency of Cultural Institutions.
In the Fandango, Huelva finds its “maximum artistic and identity expression.” This traditional popular music, endowed thanks to its short and direct structure with a great emotional capacity, structures the territory and is very present in all its celebrations, meetings of friends and cultural agenda. “It is inherent to the Huelva people,” the Junta has pointed out in a note.
The show offers a simultaneous sensorial journey through most of the genre’s styles as well as through the towns and artists who have their own. In a graphic and organic way, the tour of the province reveals the musical and scenic excellence of the region.
The purpose is to start from the root as far as the imagination can fly, being faithful to the canons and of course attending to the new sounds and current trends in order to show the widest range of expressive and evolutionary forms of this genuine song. In short, Huelva in its purest form.
Arcángel will be accompanied by Francisco Gómez and Benito Bernal on guitars, Lito Manéz on percussion, Carmen and Olivia Molina, Los Mellis on chorus and clapping, Pablo Báez on bass, Paula Fernández and Isabel María Gómez on tambourines, and special collaborations by Sandra Carrasco and Macarena López.
The cycle celebrates 23 editions
‘Lorca and Granada in the Generalife Gardens’ is a programme of the Ministry of Culture and Sport that was born in 2002 with the aim of enriching the cultural programme of the Granada summer. Inspired by the figure of Federico García Lorca, the cycle has transformed the monumental site of the Generalife into a cultural event. Alhambra on the stage of great artistic creations, thanks to renowned creators such as Antonio Gades, Mario Maya, Cristina Hoyos, and Rafaela Carrasco, among others.
This year, the programme includes three concerts, as well as the production of the Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía, ‘Pineda. Romance Popular en tres Estampas’, directed by Patricia Guerrero.
In addition to Arcángel’s performance, there will be concerts by Raimundo Amador and Lin Cortés on August 29 with ‘Flamenco and psychedelia in the Alhambra’ and on August 31, the Almería-born guitarist Tomatito, accompanied by his usual sextet, and with the special collaboration of the Granada-born singer Marina Heredia, will delight the Granada-born public with a concert in which he will also be accompanied by Karime Amaya in dance.
