Flamenco onFire, Festival Flamenco in Pamplona

With the slogan «Flamenco goes north», a new flamenco festival called «Flamenco On Fire», scheduled to be held in Pamplona August 26th to 31st in honor of the maestro Sabicas, was presented in Madrid at Casa Patas.

Teo Sánchez of Duendeando, presenting the festival at Casa Patas in Madrid.

In Sabicas’ hometown of Pamplona, a new festival has been created whose first edition includes major figures such as Sara Baras, José Mercé, Estrella Morente, Niña Pastori, Tomatito, Pepe Habichuela with Josemi Carmona, Arcángel and many others.

The festival takes its name, “Flamenco On Fire”, from a compilation released in 1999 of Sabicas’ work, and also includes shows such as 27 Generation Flamenca, Jóvenes Talentos Navarros, Carmen Amaya en la Memoria with Karime Amaya, Susana Casas, Belén López and El Junco, or the more adventuresome offerings of Tomasito, Kiko Veneno and Soleá Morenta with the Evangelistas.

The old city center of Pamplona will offer a gastronomic route called “El Pincho de Sabicas”, with the collaboration of the best hotels and restaurants the city has to offer with a special tapa inspired in Sabicas.

The venues for the shows are the Baluarte, with two stages, “Sabicas” and “Flamenco on Fire”, while other performances will take place at “La Ciudadela”, a 16th century fortress which will host the Festival’s closing galas.
