2FLAMENCO
2FLAMENCO premiered to great acclaim in 2023 and returned to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2024 with a completely renewed format that preserved the authenticity and soul of the original concert. This powerful, exquisite, and unforgettable flamenco experience now returns for the 2025 edition, evolving once more while staying true to its roots.
In previous editions, Inma Montero and Danielo Olivera, founders of TuFlamenco, infused the stage with their signature vision—fresh, elegant, and deeply rooted in the essence of flamenco’s core styles. For this 2025 production, the spotlight shifts to a new and intimate formation, led by the artistic synergy between Danielo Olivera and the electrifying Jara Pérez. With Inma Montero stepping away from this year’s performance, the production unveils a refined direction that heightens the emotional resonance and creative tension onstage.
Jara Pérez’s captivating presence and dynamic dance artistry bring new energy and bold expression to the TuFlamenco team. Together with Olivera’s beautiful guitar playing and soulful voice, 2FLAMENCO offers an immersive journey into the heart of flamenco—where music, movement, and human connection intertwine with warmth, humor, and raw passion.
This 2025 edition continues to honor the pure roots of flamenco while offering a bold and original twist. Audiences are invited to experience a vibrant celebration of tradition and innovation—a glimpse into flamenco’s storied past and its ever-evolving future.
(****) “(…) It’s a visceral experience, best experience when seen live. There are numerous voices at work in the performance. You have the distinct sound of the guitar and the voice that sings and whistles. Then, there is the dancer who communicates with the guitar through movement. Her expression is mesmerizing as the songs reach their crescendo. She claps and uses her whole body as an instrument. Her shoes have metal nails in the heel and toe that strike the floor, creating a rhythm to match the melody. There are also the castanets for one song. This tiny hand-held percussion instrument is so well known yet rarely encountered. All these components together create a mix of emotions ranging from melancholy to happiness to longing and desire, all at once. As I watched, I felt the emotions bubbling inside me. My chest suddenly became a mirror reflecting life. It is masterfully complex. (…) The passion and energy delight and engage all senses. It’s intimate, cathartic, therapeutic, and everything flamenco should be. (…) They created something unique, elevating an already excellent show to new heights. But 2Flamenco is more than just about the music. It feels like a celebration of friendship and art––a love letter to Spain.” – www.broadwaybaby.com

What a fantastic show we had! Not just Flamenco but also lots of laughs and interaction with an audience that ended feeling uplifted and joyful. Be prepared to clap not just to the fantastic performance by Jara but also to the master of the guitarrist/singer, Danielo: you will learn a but the different “palos” on top of that!
Very participative, fun, and full of ART. Super recommended to go with friends and family! 🙂

the show was quite fresh, warm and involving the audience. Both dancer and singer were amazing, the bailaora impressed me.

This show is not to be missed! The performance is energetic and haunting from beginning to end. The musicality is spectacular, the dancing is otherworldly. I highly recommend! It’s a breath taking experience. I’d go every night if I could!
