Our Adventures in Spain, Part 1
After outrageous winds delayed our flight to Madrid, and luggage full of performance costumes got lost in transit for over 24 hours, and having to charter a bus to get to Jerez because all of the trains were booked … Team NIF and Yjastros: The American Flamenco Repertory Company are finally on the ground at the 27th Annual Festival de Jerez!
By this time tomorrow, Yjastros will have gone down in history as the first ever US-based flamenco company to perform at a Spanish flamenco festival. But, today is tech day and here’s a look at some of our adventures thus far.
Remember that you can follow along in real time via our Instagram and Facebook stories.
