| Description: | Since its founding in 1993, this company of Spain's brightest flamenco stars has attracted a large and enthusiastic following internationally. Filled with passion and sensuality, Noche Flamenca captures the essence of traditional flamenco without the use of tricks or gimmicks. Instead, the company relies on the exceptional talents of its artists as well as their profound understanding of this complex and mysterious art-form of the Andalucian gypsies. All aspects of flamenco—dance, song and music—are intimately connected and given equal weight in Noche Flamenca, creating a true communal spirit which is the very heart and soul of flamenco. "Since starting as chief dance critic here in April, I have encountered many dance companies, and many more individual dancers.Of these there has been none I have been so glad to discover as Noche Flamenca and, above all, its lead dancer, Soledad Barrio. I can think of no current dancer in the world as marvelous as she" New York Times "Rich, warm, sensual and inviting... the heart and soul of traditional flamenco" Washington Post
