The event, promoted by the Manolo Sanlúcar Aura Seguros Foundation, is consolidating its position as one of the epicenters of flamenco in Catalonia. Its artistic director, Paco Garfia, highlighted that the programming will offer a broad and diverse view of current flamenco, combining established artists with emerging proposals.
The lineup includes top-tier figures such as El Pele, Duquende, and La Macanita, in addition to the local singer Ana Brenes, who will perform in various venues across the city. Beyond the purely artistic aspect, Flamenc-ON 26 reinforces its social and inclusive character.
In this vein, the festival will feature shows with a gender perspective, coinciding with the celebration of International Women's Day. A special proposal will take place at the CIBA space, created, directed, and performed entirely by women, consolidating the festival's commitment to diversity and social reflection.
“"The effort involved in carrying out the project with limited resources, highlighting the key role of municipal support from the beginning of the festival and demanding greater institutional involvement to guarantee the continuity of cultural initiatives of this scope."
The Mayor of Santa Coloma de Gramenet, Mireia González, emphasized the unique value of Flamenc-ON, noting that it combines artistic quality, cultural roots, and the will to project flamenco as a living heritage. The program will also include a tribute to Lola Flores, pedagogical sessions for schoolchildren, and activities aimed at the elderly.
