Lorca Festival 2026: Lorca, Flamenco, and Japan
Business Overview
The second year of the three-year festival was a special one-night event featuring Spanish and Japanese Lorca experts, poets and flamenco artists at the Teatro Federico García Lorca Center in Lorca's hometown of Granada.
In the first part of the symposium, José Javier León, Naoka Mori, and Kyoko Shikaze discussed for an hour. During the intermission, there was an unexpected discussion between the audience and the panelists.
The first half of the second part is a recitation of a poem by Yoshio Nomura and a guitar performance by Antonio Heredia "El Chonico". In the second half, Fuensanta La Moneta, one of Spain's leading flamenco dancers, was invited as a special guest, along with young Japanese dancers Ito Shona and Yamamoto Kai. Singer Sergio Gómez “El Colorao ” selected a poem by Lorca and Marcos Palometas played guitar.
The finale was filled with excitement as the three dancers danced Granada's Tango together.
