Farruquito performs at New York City Center

Farruquito returns to City Center following his triumphant performances at the 2016 Flamenco Festival.

In Mi Soledad (Solea), flamenco superstar Farruquito encounters his people –those who existed before him, whom he learns from again and again. The piece is a return to the path created by his ancestors, a display of the power of the Farruco flamenco dynasty, and a celebration of flamenco puro. This performance includes live musical accompaniment.

About Farruquito

Farruquito returns to City Center following his triumphant performances at the 2016 Flamenco Festival. The grandson of legendary gypsy dancer El Farruco, one of the most celebrated figures in flamenco dance, Farruquito has been hailed as the true heir to his grandfather’s flamboyance and skill.

The New York Times called his performance in New York in 2000 one of the best of the year. Farruquito made his Broadway debut at age five, appeared in Carlos Saura’s film Flamenco at 12, and was directing his own shows by 15.

Since then he has bee devoted to the preservation and innovation of his beloved art form, receiving the prestigious APDE award in 2004 for the dignified repository of the inheritance of gypsy dance.

Two performances: Monday, Sept. 26 and Tuesday, Sept. 27 at 8 pm.
