Whether you want to feel like a flamenco dancer in a bar in Seville, explore the streets of Havana to the sound of music, or become the king of rumba in true Gipsy Kings style, we have good news – you don’t need a passport or a trip to the airport. But there is one thing you will need: a ticket.
Embrujo Flamenco
Get ready to take a short trip to Spain for a night. Embrujo Flamenco is not just a show, it’s an immersion into a vibrant culture and the passionate art of flamenco dance. Who knows, you might even leave with the urge to sign up for a class?
Leading this explosion of talent is Antonio Ariza Momblant, accompanied by the dancers of Compañía de Baile Flamenca José Lucena, the powerful Hesperian Symphony Orchestra, and the voice of Belén Vega.
When and where? March 17th at Casino Estoril (Avenida Dr. Stanley Ho, Estoril)
For whom? For those who can’t resist a stunning flamenco performance, for those who get chills from the sound of a flamenco guitar, and for those who like to feel music in their bones.
Dress code? None, but if you’re up for it, why not wear red.
Compay Segundo
Cuban son needs no introduction. The nine musicians of Grupo Compay Segundo bring to Portugal the legacy of the master who sang Chan Chan and Macusa, making the world fall in love with Cuba. These hits are still performed by his son, Salvador Repilado Labrada, who promises to transport the audience to the streets of Havana.
When and where? April 11th at Casino Estoril (Avenida Dr. Stanley Ho, Estoril)
For whom? For those who dream of visiting Cuba and love a good mojito to go with soul-stirring music.
Extra tip Take advantage of the casino’s cocktails to get the party started.
Gipsy Kings
You already know how this ends: you start by singing quietly, then nodding your head, then snapping your fingers, and before you know it, you’re shouting BAMBOLÉO along with the crowd.
Diego Baliardo of Gipsy Kings is coming to Portugal to do what he does best – get everyone dancing to his biggest hits. If you’ve never experienced a Gipsy Kings concert, this is your chance.
When and where? May 23rd at Coliseu dos Recreios (Rua das Portas de Santo Antão 96, Lisbon)
For whom? For those who have danced their hearts out to Volare and for those who need an excuse to do it again.
Golden tip Stretch well before you go.
