Noche Flamenca – An Evening of Live Flamenco and Tapas!

Flamenco is at its most powerful when experienced live. Dancer Karina Gracia is joined by singer and percussionist Jaime Cantera and flamenco guitarist David Nash, bringing together the three essential elements of this extraordinary Andalusian art form.

From the intricate rhythms and expressive guitar to the raw emotion of flamenco song and the power and grace of the dance, the three performers respond to one another in the moment, creating a performance full of energy, emotion and spontaneity.

Whether you already love flamenco or are experiencing it live for the first time, Noche Flamenca offers the chance to experience the atmosphere and spirit of a traditional flamenco performance up close.

Jaime Cantera – Song & Percussion
Jaime Cantera (a.k.a. Jimi Can) is a Spanish singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based in Bristol. Having lived and travelled extensively throughout Andalucía, Jaime has absorbed a wide range of musical influences, with his flamenco particularly shaped by the traditions of Jerez and Granada.
As a flamenco singer and percussionist, Jaime brings both authenticity and spontaneity to the performance, responding to the guitar and dance through the powerful and expressive tradition of cante flamenco.

David Nash – Flamenco Guitar
David Nash is a Bristol-based flamenco guitarist with 30 years’ playing experience. Originally trained in classical guitar, he later turned his attention to flamenco and has studied with a number of respected flamenco maestros in both Spain and the UK.
