CONFLUENCIAS TEASER - 2025 Copenhagen
From our live show CONFLUENCIAS in Copenhagen, at Viften on January 31 2025. Featuring Melón Jimenez on guitar and vocals, Lara Wong on flute, Ivan Mellen on percussion and Sonia Franco on dance. In a confluence of innovation and tradition, Melón Jiménez and Lara Wong bring unexpected protagonists—the Indian bansuri flute and the flamenco guitar—to reimagine flamenco’s evolution from its Indian and African roots. Wong, a Canadian flutist of Chinese and Japanese descent, made history as the first foreigner and the first woman to win Spain's most prestigious flamenco prize, the Filón Minero, at the Festival Internacional del Cante de las Minas in Spain. Wong is also a notable contributor to the modern flamenco scene, known for incorporating the Indian bansuri flute into the genre. Jiménez’s flamenco roots run deep; he learned the guitar from his father, a Gitano (Spanish Roma) guitarist from Jerez de la Frontera, the birthplace of flamenco. His roots combined with his limitless musical curiosity led him to tour with renowned musicians accross musical genres, such as Anoushka Shankar, Enrique Morente, Richard Bona, Niña Pastori, and Jorge Pardo. Sonia Franco Gutiérrez won Best Solo Choreography at the 33rd Spanish Dance and Flamenco Choreography Competition for Mujer de Rojo Sobre Fondo Gris. She has performed globally with Sara Baras and María Pagés.
