Welcome Back to Albuquerque, Rafael Estévez & Valeriano Paños!

The National Institute of Flamenco welcomes Rafael Estévez and Valeriano Paños back to Albuquerque! Estévez and Paños are setting new choreography on Yjastros: The American Flamenco Repertory Company and working as Visiting Professors in the University of New Mexico Dance Program's Flamenco Concentration. 

We are honored to have Estévez and Paños as invited artists in the fall season of Yjastros, Çiertas Danças, November 11 and 12 at the National Hispanic Cultural Center. Estévez and Paños will present their acclaimed work SILENCIOS. The fall concert season's name comes from an original work the artistic duo created for Yjastros, and will feature guest musicians Alicia Morales and Ángel Ruíz, and thrilling new dance and music.

Don't miss this very special performance, and stay tuned for information about their free-to-the public artist talk on October 28!
