BUY TICKETSAlba Heredia, dance
ChatGPT Plus Alba Heredia (Granada, 1995) is a bailaora born in Sacromonte, belonging to the legendary Maya family. Niece of Juan Andrés Maya and grand-niece of Mario Maya and Manolete, she grew up in the flamenco cave La Rocío, where art is part of everyday life. She began dancing at the age of four and made her debut in 1999 at a tribute to her uncle Juan Maya Marote, sharing the stage with artists such as Niña Pastori and José Mercé. She trained with renowned figures including Rafaela Carrasco, Belén Maya, and Iván Vargas, and has performed in tablaos and festivals in Granada, Seville, and Madrid, as well as on international stages. In 2015, she received the Desplante Award at the Festival Internacional del Cante de las Minas. Her dance combines the inherited strength of Sacromonte with refined technique and a powerful, commanding presence.
Ricardo Fernández del Moral, guitar and singing
Ricardo Fernández del Moral (Ciudad Real, 1974) is a unique artist in the contemporary flamenco scene, recognized for his exceptional mastery of both cante and guitar, and for accompanying himself with naturalness and expressive depth. He began his musical studies at the age of eight in Daimiel, and by fourteen was performing as the official guitarist in flamenco peñas across Castilla-La Mancha. In 2012, he achieved a milestone by winning the Lámpara Minera along with five awards in different flamenco styles at the Festival Internacional del Cante de las Minas, an unprecedented accomplishment. Since then, he has performed on stages such as the Teatro Real, the Festival de Jerez, the Bienal de Sevilla, and in international tours such as Authentic Flamenco. His album Yo solo (2014) reflects his artistic personality: depth, elegance, melodic sensibility, and a profound understanding of compás.
