Paco Pena - a spectacuar Flamenco in Abu Dhabi

Global Arab Network - - Hannan Taha

From the early days in which Paco Pena decided to launch his now world famous company, he set out to bring onto the stage a true rendition of what the Art of Flamenco represents: a spontaneous collaboration between artists of different disciplines, musicians, dancers and singers who inspire one another to reach as far as possible into their artistic endeavours to create a unique and unrepeatable experience every time; a performance that is new and surprising to themselves as much as to any audience present.

Flamenco is not written down, but passed on from generation to generation, so it continues to allow for new ideas to come into it. Both the tragic cry of the seguiriya in the lone voice of the flamenco singer and the explosion of happiness of the buleria rhythm firnd mysterious paths into people’s sensitivities all over the world; as do the sensuality and passion of the dance and the unique texture of the flamenco guitar sound.

Paco Pena’s NEW PRESENTATION A Compas!, coming for the first time to the UAE, wants to transmit to the audience the compelling nature of flamenco rhythms, from the almost tribal quality of the arborea, to the razor-sharp complexity of the buleria. At the same time the show aims to isolate each artist, to throw him or her into the limelight and there, immersing themselves deeply into the feeling of the dance and contributing their own creative input, they must project an unstoppable sensation that everyone can feel and identify with.

Flamenco rhythms are vital; the ‘’compas’’ is like a primal pulse, like the rhythm of the earth…
