In New York, a city where the streets pulse with a thousand accents, figures such as Trinidad Huertas “La Cuenca,” Carmencita, La Argentinita, Carmen Amaya, Sabicas, Vicente Escudero, and Mario Escudero, among other flamenco icons, found fertile ground that transformed their artistic expression. The Big Apple resonated in their music and bodies, inspired new interpretations of flamenco, and fostered a creative current that continues to influence generations of artists and audiences, forging a true love story.
The 25th anniversary celebration of Flamenco Festival New York will feature programming that evokes this endless love affair between the city of skyscrapers and flamenco. From February 25 to March 15, a delegation of over 80 participants from 16 companies, including singers, guitarists, dancers, and technicians, will present their latest creations across the Atlantic.
Artists such as Manuel Liñán, Eva Yerbabuena, Sara Baras, Olga Pericet, Andrés Marín, Rocío Márquez, Ángeles Toledano, Dani de Morón, Gerardo Núñez, and Antonio Rey, among many others, will headline this edition of Flamenco Festival New York.
Over 20 companies will stage 40 performances across 20 venues in New York, Miami, Tampa, Chicago, and Boston. Regular festival stages include New York City Center, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Joe’s Pub, and Roulette, complemented by venues such as Baryshnikov Arts, the Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts.
“On the occasion of the Festival’s 25th Anniversary, we celebrate the true love story between New York City and flamenco,” said founder Miguel Marín. “This year, we are humbled and honored to showcase major artists whose contributions to our art are legendary. This year’s diversity of venues is equally dazzling, including the iconic Joe’s Pub, the Library for the Performing Arts, and Baryshnikov Arts Center. Have no doubt: the 2026 Festival will be unforgettable.”
