Solo – Israel Galván

Solo – Israel Galván

Contemporary dance | Flamenco

All by himself, Israel Galván explores the possibilities of his natural dancing in ‘Solo’. He’s well-known for his choreographic skills, and after having tried out solo dancing with no music coming from the most classic flamenco, the dancer brings this concept to the extreme which results in a completely avant-garde experience. Galván follows on Vicente Escudero’s steps, whom he looks up to, and who also danced with no music almost 100 years ago. The artist exposes himself and shows what he’s really made of. On stage there are no microphones, or backing singers, in “Solo”, Galván, makes music by listening to his own body, using the beat of his feet, snapping his fingers and even at times using his voice. A great chance to see how rich his repertoire is and how varied the unique language created by the artist who has opened the door to a new world of possibilities for flamenco in the 21st Century.

ÁNGARO, MUSIC AND DANCE IN A UNIQUE PLACE

Angaro is a musical journey through the folklore of the Canarian people and the peoples of the world through music and dance.  A fusion between the classic and the avant-garde in an unrepeatable show at the Jameos del Agua Auditorium.

Pianos, violins, horns… are mixed with powerful drums and other instruments such as seashells and shepherd’s flutes to experiment with dances and voices from ancient times.

A cast of twelve people, including actors and musicians, performs on stage a choral program composed of fifteen songs from diverse backgrounds. Among them there are pieces of their own creation, such as ‘Ángaro’, which gives the show its name; ‘Fujara’, inspired by music of Sufi origin and fused with flamenco influences; ‘San Borondón’, in homage to the magical island whose legend says it appears and disappears into the sea, and other compositions that version popular themes from different islands and are mixed with African instruments and rhythms and other traditional Canarian folklore.

Angaro, a spectacle to live an unforgettable experience in your visit to a unique place in the world, as is Jameos del Agua. Music and dance in a volcanic cave, transformed into an auditorium by the artist César Manrique.
