Los Farruco features two generations of artists- all direct descendents of the legendary patriarch and flamenco dance master, El Farruco who performed in San Francisco in the late 1980s as part of Claudio Segovia and Hector Orezzoli's Broadway production, "Flamenco Puro". Farruquito, the superstar of the Farruco clan, wowed local audiences when he appeared here with Juana Amaya in 2003 when he was only 18 years-old.
In town for The Bay Area Flamenco Partnership's Festival of Flamenco Arts and Traditions 2009, Los Farruco "first family of Gypsy flamenco dance" make their Bay Area premier featuring two of the maestro's younger grandsons --Farruco (El Farru) and Barullo (El Negro) as well as both of his daughters --La Farruca and La Faraona "la madre de la buleria"--. Accompanied by celebrated guitarists Antonio Rey and El Tuto and some of Spain's most outstanding young flamenco singers incuding Pedro el Granaino, Mara Rey, El Rubio de Pruna and Antonio Zuniga, Los Farruco promises a thrilling evening of Gypsy flamenco dance and music.

LA FARAONA: Dubbed "la madre de la buleria" by her father the legendary flamenco dance maestro El Farruco, Pilar Montoya Manzano, "La Faraona" is known for her deeply Gypsy "festera" style of dancing and her ability to transmit a full range of emotion and sense of pride. She has lived and breathed Gypsy flamenco from the time she was born and has performed all over Spain and toured the entire world, appearing alongside her nephew Farruquito and her sister La Farruca. She first came to San Fransicso in the late 1980s with the touring Broadway production "Flamenco Puro" where she shared the stage with many of the great flamenco figures of the time such as her father El Farruco, La Fernanda de Utrera, EL Guito and Manuela Carrasco. La Faraona will appear with LOS FARRUCO on Friday, March 6th at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco as part of the Festival of Flamenco Arts and Traditions.
FARRUCO: Antonio Fernandez Montoya, "El Farru" was born in Sevilla in 1988. He adopted the artistic name "Farruco" after his late grandfather, El Farruco. His entire life he has been witness to the purest form of the art of flamenco. He began dancing professionally as a young child and has continued performing all over Spain and internationally with his brother Farruquito and his family Los Farruco. "El Farru" will perform with his group LOS FARRUCO at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco as part of the Festival of Flamenco Arts and Traditions.
