The evolution of tradition – an elegant and authentic flamenco journey.


Bailaora and choreographer Mercedes Ruiz (1980) and composer and guitarist Santiago Lara (1984) are established artists in the current flamenco scene.

Holders of the most important awards: National Flamenco Art Award of Córdoba, Giraldillo of the Seville Biennial, Critic and Audience Awards at Festival of Jerez and many more.

They have created 12 shows over 20 years working together, which has led them to step into some of the most important theatres in the world: Theatre de la Ville (Paris), Auditorio Parco de la Música (Rome), Teatro La Fenice (Venice), International House of Music (Moscow), Sadler’s Wells, and Teatro Gran Via (Madrid).

Mercedes has choreographed for Ballet Nacional de España. Santiago has five albums and has released his first Concerto for Spanish guitar and Orchestra.
