The Días de Flamenco Festival, founded by the Adi Agmon Foundation, returns for three full days of art that brings community together at the Suzanne Dellal Center in Tel Aviv, March 19-21. Emerging from a gradual return to steady breath and a careful movement toward days of healing, the festival seeks to serve as an embracing space for connection: twelve premieres will present the language of flamenco with diverse musical and dance styles; collaborations with artists from Spain; and open-air performances free to the public – ranging from a traditional tablao, offering an intimate, eye-level experience of the dialogue between the singing, music, and dance, to a dancing flamenco fashion showcase.

This year also marks the 17th edition of the Flamenco Competition, held in two categories: New Talent and Professional. The program will also include a flamenco flash-mob in the Suzanne Dellal Center plaza and, as tradition continues, the Israeli Flamenco Morning, a beloved performance that provides a stage for groups of various ages and ensembles from studios across the country.

Outdoor Performances
The festival will also present a variety of outdoor performances open to the public free of charge, including: Tablao Flamencofeaturing Sharon Sagie and Bar Lapid in dance, Yael Horowitz and Esther Eti Guri in vocals, and Ofir Atar on guitar; Flor de la Vida dancing fashion show staged and choreographed by Liat Raz; guitarist Eliran Yosef paying tribute to one of flamenco’s legends in Homenaje – Paco de Lucía; Beta by dancer and creator Llal Philiora, bringing contemporary dance together with flamenco rhythm; Iya Ina, where Michal Bar and Yael Sharoni meet in a shared space of movement, rhythm, and voice from the worlds of flamenco and African dance; Dar a Luz, a performance connecting flamenco and Israeli music (Shiri Chen, Nir Ador, Hadas Zakai, Elad Cohen, and Gaia Lieberman Contini); El Mundo, in which Sevillian guitarist Fyty de Triana joins jazz pianist Orian Levnat; and Ta’ulifa, featuring singer Miriam Levy moving between flamenco, Arabic music, and original music in multiple languages.
