    Flamenco's Poetry in Motion?

    Inspired by the purist Flamenco that he learnt from his teachers, Rafael Amargo, Spain’s most eclectic dancer and choreographer, was influenced by US contemporary dance schools such as the Martha Graham, while living in New York. He brings to the fore this experience in his work ‘Poet in New York’ at Sadler’s Wells, based on the poems of Federico Lorca, who also lived in New York. Flamenco’s poet, Rafael Amargo, talks with Angela Alonso ahead of his show.

What people say about us...

Latinolife is a great source of information on all the exciting things Latin American happening in the UK. Its articles, interviews and blogs are impressive in the range subjects and depth of perspectives they cover, and much needed to feed the ever growing interest in Latin America and Spanish culture in the UK.” Carlos Acosta, Principal Dancer of the Royal Ballet

 

“I would like to extend my warmest good wishes to all connected with Latinolife magazine...a great platform to celebrate the contribution of the Latin American, Spanish, Portuguese communities, the fastest growing and most dynamic in the Capital. London is undoubtedly a richer metropolis as a result.” Boris Johnson, Mayor of London

 

"Latinolife is a powerful voice for the Hispanic community in the UK.” Miriam Gonzalez Durantez, wife of Deputy Prime Minsiter Nick Clegg

 

"Latinolife supports the communities in London originating from Latin America and Iberian peninsula that have made an enormous contribution to the life and culture of London. Our links with Latin America are growing more important every year as new communities settle and as countries like Brazil and Argentina become powerhouses of the global economy. Latin American restaurants and shops are springing up everywhere, salsa and tango classes abound, the Spanish and Portuguese language media is growing. The LUKAS Awards both encourage and recognise the rich contribution made to our city in these and many other ways by those of Latin American, Spanish and Portuguese origin." Ken Livingstone, ex-Mayor of London and mayoral candidate 2012
