Superstar Manuela Carrasco comes to the Bay Area for the first time in 25 years!  Like a flock of doves above her head, the delicate hands of Manuela Carrasco are enough to make audiences catch their breath and fall silent. Yet this international star, known in her native Spain as the Queen of Gypsy Flamenco Dance, remains strikingly down to earth, honoring the grassroots that sparked her art and maintaining traditions rarely seen on American stages.

Direct from Seville, Carrasco and her 10-member company headline the 2010 Bay Area Festival of Flamenco Arts & Traditions with Suspiro Flamenco, also featuring dancers El Torombo and Rafael de Carmen. Known for her great strength, unprecedented energy, and mesmerizing stage presence, the highly acclaimed dance icon has not appeared in the Bay Area for decades, making this Festival performance a rare and important treat for lovers of dance and flamenco.

June 15th, 8pm, Zellerbach Hall, Berkeley
