The Cultural Center of Lagos once again becomes the stage for the Flamenco Festival, which celebrates its 23rd edition as the oldest and most prestigious event of its kind in Portugal. More than a festival, it is a tribute to this sublime art, recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. From September 10 to 12, this year's programming stands out for its richness and contrast: the show LA DEZIMA MUSA invites a journey through time, exploring the soul and mysticism of ancient flamenco; the Cuadro Flamenco ALEJANDRO RODRÍGUEZ brings to the stage the intensity and impeccable technique of traditional flamenco; the AL FELAH-MENKUB ENSEMBLE project closes the festival revealing the Arab influences that shaped the identity of this music.
