This Week at Flamenco Festival London: Must-See Performances

We’re entering the final week of Flamenco Festival London — and what a week it’s going to be.

From acclaimed artists to exciting new talents, this is your last opportunity to experience a wide range of flamenco styles live in London.

“Muerta de Amor” – Manuel Liñán

National Dance Award-winner Manuel Liñán brings twelve artists to the stage in this powerful, theatrical celebration of desire, fantasy and provocation. Inspired by the spirit of the copla and developed during a creative residency in Torrox, Muerta de Amor is a compelling choreographic journey not to be missed.

“Romancero del baile flamenco” – Mercedes Ruiz

On Tuesday 3 June, acclaimed bailaora Mercedes Ruiz brings Romancero del baile flamenco to Sadler’s Wells. The evolution of tradition — an elegant and authentic flamenco journey.

“Flamenco por cantaora” – Argentina

One of the most powerful voices in contemporary flamenco, Argentina explores rarely heard styles like cartagenera, granaína and petenera, alongside traditional fandangos of her native Huelva. With a repertoire that also embraces Cuban son, fado and tango, Argentina offers a performance full of colour, power, emotion, and dynamism.

“En acústico” – Queralt Lahoz

Catalan artist with Andalusian roots, Queralt Lahoz brings an intimate acoustic set to Flamenco Festival London. Her distinctive sound fuses soul, hip-hop, dancehall and boleros with flamenco’s rich heritage, offering a performance that is both introspective and full of energy.

“El fuego que llevo dentro” – Lela Soto

Lela Soto presents her debut album El fuego que llevo dentro, a powerful tribute to her family. This deeply personal project explores themes of love, loss and emotional intensity, offering an immersive experience of flamenco at its most daring and authentic.

“En concierto” – Ángeles Toledano

A rising star in the flamenco music scene, Ángeles Toledano brings her powerful voice and fearless artistry to London in a concert that blends tradition with innovation. Joined by Benito Bernal in a duo format, she will present new songs alongside her usual repertoire. Together, their striking presence and masterful delivery promise an unforgettable evening.

“Pineda” – Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía

Equality, freedom and law – this is a woman living dangerously. Led by Patricia Guerrero, Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía pays tribute to Mariana Pineda, the iconic heroine immortalised by Lorca, in a powerful reimagining that captures the full spiritual and expressive force of his dramatic poem.

“Roneo Funk Club” – La Plazuela

Blending flamenco with electronica, funk and urban rhythms, Granada-based duo La Plazuela deliver an explosive live show. With hypnotic beats and Andalusian flair, this is flamenco for a new generation.

“Retablo experimental sobre el baile flamenco” – Estévez & Paños

Estévez and Paños, joined by Alberto Sellés, Jorge Morera, and Manuel Montes, draw inspiration from the classical flamenco dance form, the bodily expression of a cantaor (flamenco singer) transformed into movement, and the historic dialogues between artists.

“Armonía Flamenca” – Álvaro Martinete & Claudia La Debla

In the final concert of La Guitarra Flamenca: the Next Gen, rising force in the world of flamenco, Álvaro Martinete, blends tradition and innovation with a masterful touch. He performs alongside exciting emerging talent in flamenco dance, Claudia La Debla.
