I spent an afternoon backstage with Noche Flamenca this week. It was a powerful performance put on by dancers and players that truly enjoy each others company. As their press release states: Noche Flamenca captures the essence of traditional flamenco without the use of tricks or gimmicks. Instead, the company relies on the exceptional talents of its artists as well as their profound understanding of this complex and mysterious art-form of the Andalucian gypsies.
