LORQUIANOS

Wednesday, March 5, 2025 – 7:00 pm – Elebash Recital Hall

Kiki Morente and Carlos de Jacoba, two of the most captivating figures in contemporary flamenco, come together to honor the legacy of Federico García Lorca. Kiki Morente, son of the legendary Enrique Morente, carries the profound poetic essence of Lorca in his voice, weaving the words of the great poet into the deep-rooted traditions of flamenco. Carlos de Jacoba, a master guitarist known for his innovative style, complements this journey, blending Lorca’s timeless influence with the expressive power of flamenco guitar. Together, they create a dialogue between flamenco’s rich heritage and the lyrical soul of Lorca, paying homage to the poet’s enduring impact on Spanish culture.

This concert will be preceded by an international symposium on Lorca, Flamenco, and the Harlem Renaissance.

Presented with Flamenco Festival New York; the Foundation for Iberian Music; the Center for Latin American, Caribbean, and Latino Studies; the Ph.D. Program in Latin American, Iberian, and Latino Cultures; and the Bildner Center for Western Hemisphere Studies.
