Farruquito

Simply put, Farruquito is the best flamenco dancer performing today. From Spain’s Los Farruco dynasty, and grandson of the legendary El Farruco, Farruquito made his Broadway stage debut at age five, starred in Carlos Saura’s film Flamenco at Twelve, and was directing his own shows by fifteen. He is the embodiment of flamenco puro.

His show, Improvisao, is flamenco in its purest form — authentic and visceral  — with improvisation at its core. The dancers and musicians come together to share their lives and artistry, relying solely on the inspiration of the moment. Farruquito explains that Improvisao “is a return to my roots… Singing, guitar and dance fused with total freedom to create a different show every day.”
