This exceptional six-piece group of traditional flamenco artists will take us on a journey from one continent to the next exploring artistic expressions, delving deep into almost-forgotten knowledge and searching for the true origins of the art form that we have come to know as flamenco.

Flamenco Orígenes celebrates all that has fed into the evolution of flamenco, the traditional art form of the Andalusian people, which evolved out of the melting pot of cultures and peoples that have lived and thrived in the South of Spain, for millennia. We can trace flamenco’s roots to the four corners of the earth, from ancient trade routes to modern shipping lanes – from the Guajiras which has roots in Cuba, to the Arabic Zambra, to the flamenco Milonga from Argentina, art, like the artist, is in a constant state of change, and flamenco has absorbed sounds and movements wherever it goes.

Lourdes Fernández Flamenco Company invites us to join them on this epic adventure to discover more about this beautifully rich, passionate and awe-inspiring art. A show packed with expressive guitar strumming, soulful singing, captivating dance, enchanting violin melodies and mesmerizing percussion.

“Astounding – intense, skillful and full of passion, not just from the incredible company on stage, but the enthusiastic and enthralled audience as well.”

We are delighted to be partnering once more with Sands Films for what will be a very special show. As many of you will remember, there is no bar and no food or drink is allowed in the venue, but both The Ship and the Mayflower Pub are close at hand. And if you haven't been to Sands Films before, rest assured you are in for a TREAT! 

Rotherhithe Station is just a 2 minute walk; Bermondsey tube station 10 minutes.  Buses C10, 381, 188, P12 and 47 all run close by.

Alas there is no way to avoid stairs within the venue so we apologise that there is no wheelchair access.
