Aruán Ortiz | Flamenco Criollo Ensemble

  • Teatro Colosseo 71 Via Madama Cristina Torino, Piemonte, 10125 Italy (map)

Africa, Spain, and Cuba meet in an adventurous mix of flamenco and dazzling Afro-Cuban rhythms. In 2021, Cuban pianist, director, and composer Aruán Ortiz gathered a unique ensemble in order to investigate the roots of flamenco. The result is a collaboration between 11 musicians from Cuba, Morroco, Palestine, and Spain, combining a suite of original 17th and 18th century Moorish melodies that travel via Spain to colonial Cuba and back to the Iberian peninsula full of new rhythms.
