Both programs will also feature an exceptional ensemble of traditional flamenco musicians, performing live on stage. Dancer Pepe Torres is a polyrhythmic powerhouse whose superb footwork provided the main percussive support for the award-winning ensemble Son de la Frontera.
Raised in Andalusia's Morón de la Frontera, a hotbed of Gypsy flamenco, he has toured extensively with Martirio, Antonio Canales, Sara Baras, Manuela Carrasco, Farruquito, Juana Amaya and many others. Torres comes to Boston with his own acclaimed company for the first time, performing Homenaje, a centennial tribute to his grandfather, legendary Gypsy flamenco singer Joselero de Morón, and a celebration of his family's unique contributions to the history of flamenco which also includes his grand-uncle, guitarist Diego del Gastor. Pepe Torres performs along with guest artist Juan del Gastor.
