Yaelisa, artistic director of the New World Flamenco Festival, along
with singer Antonio Malena (a resident of Jerez), have hand-picked

August 15-17, 2003; Fri & Sat at 8pm; Sun at 6pm
Flamenco stirs the emotions like no other dance form, and among
its stars few generate excitement like the brilliant Antonio Canales.
As a soloist he has taken part in numerous international dance galas,
sharing the limelight with celebrities such as Nureyev and Julio
Bocca. At 40, he dances like a storm - but now with a sophistication
that comes of experience. More importantly, his style of dancing
has influenced nearly the entire "next" generation of
male flamenco dancers including some who have appeared at the festival
in previous years. He has also starred in several films, including
last year's Oscar-nominated movie Vengo.
Tickets: $38-$52

Vengo
Vengo,
a film by Tony Gatlif [in Spanish with English subtitles] August
6-7, 2003 at 7:30pm at Edwards University Cinemas
A majestic ode to the artistry and magic of flamenco dancing, set
against the compelling backdrop of two gypsy families locked in
an age old struggle for power. A mesmerizing feast for the eyes
as well as the ears, this Oscar-nominated film starring Antonio
Canales eloquently echoes the emotions of the characters in
the beautiful, traditional songs of internationally-acclaimed musicians
Tomatito, Sheikh Ahmad al Tuni, La Caita and La Paquera de Jerez.
