Farruquito

NOTE LOCATION: Zellerbach Hall
Dancing flamenco is as natural for Farruquito as walking is to us mere mortals. Part of the legendary Farruco dynasty in Andalusia, Spain, he has been perfecting his fleet footwork since he was a toddler and is the undisputed heir to that region’s rich cultural legacy of “puro” Gypsy flamenco. Farruquito’s muscular, explosive style balances bold and dramatic shifts with graceful fluidity and finesse, in a breathless exchange with the dynamic musicians in his ensemble. “This was flamenco that seemed improvised in the moment—raw, visceral and executed with blazing intensity and immediacy” (The Boston Globe).
