Los Angeles International Flamenco Festival Special Presentation: Flamenco Dancer Lakshmi “La Chimi” Basile
With: Juan Medina “El Bicho” (flamenco guitar), Pablo Heredia (flamenco guitar), Pepele Mendez (flamenco singer)
A journey through the evolution of flamenco, from traditional sounds to the modern era’s jazz and gitano swing influences.
“La Chimi” was one of the first and only foreign artists in Spain to win a coveted national prize, the Concurso de las Minas de La Unión. She was also awarded the Concurso Nacional de Arte Flamenco de Córdoba where she surprised flamenco critics and received high praise from Alberto García Reyes, ABC, who described her performance as “un desgarrador homenaje a los románticos de lo jondo” (a heart-wrenching homage to the romantics of pure flamenco).
This event is presented by Kala Koa Entertainment and Los Angeles International Flamenco Festival.
