The music and dance show "Gugurumbé The black roots" brings together works by Mateo Flecha, Xavier Montsalvatge, Gaspar Fernández, Santiago de Murcia and the Codex Trujillo, among others, on the occasion of the V Centennial of the first round the world trip. It is a production of Accademia del Piacere / Alqhai & Alqhai and the Granada International Festival of Music and Dance, which has the collaboration of the Andalusian Agency for Cultural Institutions of the Junta de Andalucía and Acción Cultural Española (AC/E).
Gugurumbé, premiere for this Festival, starts from an idea around which Accademia del Piacere has been working for years: the dances of the Hispanic Baroque that are born from a crossroads of influences that are also in the germ of flamenco. In this project, which features singer Rocío Márquez and soprano Núria Rial, the group places special emphasis on the weight that African rhythms had in all of this, reaching Europe from America. Dance is joined to music, which, choreographed by Antonio Ruz, mixes flamenco with the contemporary. A coming and going between oceans, cultures and styles, ideal to celebrate the V Centenary of the first round the world.
The new edition of the 69th Granada Festival of 2020 presents over 32 days –one of the longest editions in its history–, a total of 70 shows, 44 of them within the framework of the central program and 69th Granada Festival 26 others within the FEX; in addition to the celebration of the traditional Manuel de Falla Courses.
A total of 77 artists, mostly national (72%), four symphony orchestras and a choir - all Spanish - and three dance companies - the Ballets de Monte-Carlo, the National Dance Company and the Antonio Najarro Company - They will give life to a program full of winks to Beethoven, the backbone of the Festival to commemorate 250 years of his birth.
