Arte Flamenco is synonymous
with traditional flamenco, but with added originality and a modern touch.
Arte Flamenco are based in Denmark, but you can hardly say that the group
is Danish. The music is mainly based on compositions by the French singer
Thierry Boisdon and the Swedish guitarists Robban Svärd and Emil
Pernblad - add to this the body and soul of constantly changing constellations
of dancers and musicians. This is why you cannot say that you know what
Arte Flamenco is about, after only hearing them once - but you may have
caught a glimpse of The Art Of Flamenco.
The changing of musicians and dancers is due to the fact that flamenco
in the modern world no longer is only the music of the Spanish gypsies,
but has become a universal musical language where musical skills are highly
appreciated. And therefore you can never be sure that your ventriloquistic
percussionist is not taking a special arabic drumming course in Cairo
just when you need him, or that your elegant dancer is not "zapateando"
at a famous tablao in Japan. This makes the planning all that more important-
but it keeps us open minded and the music more interesting, not only for
the musicians, but also for the audience.
But... Arte Flamenco is not only that. You will also find that Arte Flamenco
invites special groups or soloists to perform using their own name. What
you can be sure of is that whenever Arte Flamenco perform, it will be
within the Art of Flamenco.
