Yjastros to perform at the prestigious Festival de Jerez!
Albuquerque Journal Arts Editor Adrian Gomez and Photographer Chancey Bush created this excellent piece covering Yjastros and their upcoming performance in the 27th Annual Festival de Jerez.
For 40 years, NIF has been devoted to building a home for flamenco in the United States and for introducing the incredible flamenco created in New Mexico to the larger world. We are honored and excited that Yjastros, our professional flamenco company founded in 1999, will perform at one of the most prestigious flamenco festivals in Spain, the Festival de Jerez. The invitation to perform is an honor in and of itself and made yet more special by its rarity.
The Festival de Jerez, now in its 27th year, has presented few non-Spanish flamenco artists, and Yjastros will be the first U.S.-based company to perform in its history and in the history of any festival in Spain!
One of the world's greatest flamenco events, the Festival de Jerez gathers flamenco aficionados from all over the globe for two weeks of total flamenco immersion. The 2023 edition boasts 46 performances, including 14 world premieres, in venues throughout the city, along with workshops and intensive courses from the morning to the evening.
Yjastros will perform their concert Xicano Power February 28 at the Museos de la Atalaya. Learn more here.
