A woman is standing against a white wall with blue sky above it. She has her eyes closed with one hand on her heart and the other to the side.

Fearless flamenco musician, Rosario La Tremendita pushes the boundaries of the genre.


Rosario La Tremendita, one of flamenco’s most daring and innovative musicians, presents Matancera. This is a groundbreaking show that reimagines the ancient rituals of the matanza—a communal event deeply rooted in Spanish tradition—through the lens of contemporary flamenco.

With her signature blend of raw emotion, cutting-edge soundscapes, and poetic lyricism, she invites audiences to explore themes of transformation, irony, community, and the shared human passions.

Matancera is a visceral journey that mixes traditional flamenco with experimental elements, bridging past and present. Accompanied by a stellar ensemble of musicians, La Tremendita’s powerful voice and magnetic stage presence promise an unforgettable evening of artistry and soul.

La matanza is a ceremonial pig slaughter and has been part of Spanish culture for generations. It serves as a social event for people to come together to prepare the meat, share food and drink, and celebrate the community. The event is often accompanied by live music and dancing.
