In Magia Flamenca, great masters of flamenco dancing, guitar playing and singing unite to realize their  vision of  transforming the the traditional solo performances  into exciting events of mutual collaboration, interactive confrontation of tradition with innovation and even involvement  of  the audience.

Historically, flamenco is a unique combination of indian, jewish, arabic  and spanish elements that gypsy tribes found and mixed with their  own music  in  the countries they crossed 1000 years ago moving from India slowly  through  Persia and Northern Africa to Southern Spain. The basis of  flamenco is the  singing around which later evolved dancing and guitar  performances as arts  of their own right.
The artists of Magia de Maestros have inhaled this music from their earliest childhood on, and are considered today as figures of primary importance,  as  idols, because they enrich and develop flamenco in a profound and unique  way  without neglecting or denying the traditions or roots.
Magia de Maestros´ intention is to confront tradition with innovation,  expressing the  artists desire to transmit the traditional art with modern means.


 

The whole spectrum of flamenco is presented, from the solemn soleares to the joyful alegrías and tangos. The dancers will not only appear only one by one, but also compete against and inspire each other to achieve  a new form of  challenging  interaction. Surprising elements, like differently sounding floors, street clothes and a refined sound and light technique will intensify dance, singing and guitar performances.

All the scenes are exclusively produced and to be seen only in Magia de Maestros, be it the introduction with orchestral music and slow movements of the young dancer in half-light until the first outburst of energy, supported by suddenly emerging flamenco guitars; be it the  beautiful romantic melody of “Sueno de Amor” with Belén Maya and Israel Galván, or the Soleá composed by Gerardo Núnez and interpreted by Belén in an incredible fusion somewhere between flamenco, modern dance and ballet with a special half-light (penumbra) illumination.

With regard to rhythm and melody, themes  are played and to be responded by the dancers and percussionists, integrating elements of question and answer known from jazz and indian music, creating a trance like magic atmosphere. Even the audience is part of the peformance by participating in the all important rhythm with which they support the dancers in selected scenes.
