Yes! You heard it right! Cristina Aguilera is bringing a stunning flamenco show to Liverpool — albeit the flamenco star, rather than the singer.
On Friday 6th Oct 2023 at 7.30pm, The Capstone Theatre will play host to the show ‘Tarab’ that is now being presented at festivals around the world, with great success. ‘Tarab’ is an Arabic word that refers to a state of ecstasy, rapture or enchantment that is induced when one connects with music and seizes its energy.
Cristina’s team showcases the best of flamenco tradition, with the great cantaor (flamenco singer) from Jerez Miguel Lavi, in constant demand at international festivals worldwide for his passionate and rhythmic approach to pure flamenco song. They are accompanied by the guitarist David Caro from Almeria, a young soloist and teacher in his own right, and a complimentary part of the team with the beauty and brilliance of his playing. He is much in demand by singers and dancers alike for his lyrical composition and wide range of musical expression.
Cristina is a powerful performer, with the strength and rhythm of her feet as well as beauty and expression of her hands and movements. A charming and mischievous personality as well as an accomplished prize-winning dancer who presents her own solo shows at international flamenco festivals. In her dance, Cristina presents ‘drama and lyricism, but also the raw energy and precision that preserve traditional flamenco within a contemporary context.’ Dance Magazine.
