The International Festival of Cante de las Minas has hosted the first-ever Gala de Desplantes, a groundbreaking event that brought together some of the most outstanding flamenco dancers at the iconic Old Public Market of La Unión. This special evening, part of the 5th International Meeting of Flamenco and Spanish Dance Schools, paid tribute to the prestigious Desplante Award, which has become a launching pad for the careers of its winners.
The night featured an exceptional lineup of dancers who, after winning the Desplante Award, have taken their artistry to international stages. Among them were Fuensanta ‘La Moneta’ (2003), Lucía ‘La Piñona’ (2011), Eduardo Guerrero (2013), Belén López (2016), Fernando Jiménez (2017), Hugo López (2018), Paula Rodríguez (2021), and Irene Lozano (2022).
Since its inception, the Festival del Cante de las Minas has been a platform for discovering and promoting great flamenco artists. The first edition of the Gala de Desplantes reaffirmed this mission, delivering an unforgettable night filled with talent, passion, and dedication.
The event’s success strengthens the festival’s commitment to keeping flamenco alive year-round, beyond its official dates, further cementing La Unión as a global hub for this cherished art form.
