”Looking at its origins, flamenco was born as a transcultural hybrid and as such, music and  dance are in constant change. A flamenco ensemble traditionally includes vocals, guitar,  hand-claps and dance. Other instruments were added as a result of the exposure of the style to  international audiences. Respectively, this interactive conference will provide insight on the  internationalization phenomenon of flamenco music. Through active listening and open  discussion, this session aims to imagine possible paths for the future directions of the style  from a global perspective.”

The conference will be led by PhD researcher and musician Javier Sánchez in collaboration with flamenco percussionist Álvaro Vallejo. Javier is a versatile bass player which focuses on integrating bass in flamenco music. He has released two studio albums as leader of Cuejero and collaborated with multiple flamenco artists. His music merges elements from Latin-Jazz  and flamenco into original compositions. His repertoire blends music styles that were born  through the fusion of various cultures sharing the same land.
