ARA City Radio

You can learn more and see some Flamenco at the Festival des Migrations on 15th March. Georgois, who will lead the conference, explained how flamenco evolved, particularly its deep ties to the Andalusian gypsies and the impact of Franco’s dictatorship on its development. He emphasized flamenco’s role in preserving collective memory and cultural identity, as well as its global influences from Africa and the Americas. The interview shed light on flamenco’s three core elements—singing, guitar playing, and dance—stressing that without these, flamenco wouldn’t exist. Rosella, working with an NGO focused on cultural and social inclusion, highlighted how flamenco embodies the contributions of minorities and multicultural fusion. She shared how their flamenco group formed in Luxembourg, uniting musicians and dancers passionate about the art form. The event, free of charge, will include a lecture, live Q&A, and a flamenco performance, offering an immersive experience for attendees. The hosts wrapped up by celebrating Luxembourg’s diverse cultural landscape and the festival’s role in fostering artistic exchange.
