Alma y Fuego (Soul and Fire)

Flamenco music developed in India and Spain, with influences from Islamic, Gypsy and numerous other cultures. So, when you hear this complex, passionate style live, you want it in the hands of professionals. Thankfully, Lucia y Valdemar Gitanerías Flamenco has been performing together professionally since 1983. The group will present the rhythmic, impassioned music with a traveling show called Alma y Fuego (Soul and Fire).
