It will also be a Festival of singers: Elvis Costello, Bryan Ferry, Madeleine Peyroux, Stacey Kent, Neneh Cherry, Isaac Hayes, Horace Andy, Sly Stewart and Anne Hampton Callaway put together a great vocal program.
And finally the groups that will play on the Green Stage will be an attractive program full of variety in itself: Gotan Project, Skatalites, Horace Andy, Cirkus featuring Neneh Cherry and the Matthew Herbet Big Band will be among them.

Flamenco Somos @ Bozar Friday 29 June

A Tierra, veut dire « être en contact avec la terre ». Etre proche de la Terre, être réceptifs aux choses essentielles et puissantes qui nous entourent. Rester attaché aux forces de la vie qui nous permet de penser et de sentir les émotions simples et intenses de la vie. Etre proche des forces vivantes qui rôdent autour de nous. A Tierra est un terme qui symbolise l'essence et la pureté du flamenco. Flamenco Somos a créé « A Tierra » afin de partager un flamenco qui se veut intense, épuré et enraciné. C'est aussi une réaction à nos sociétés, qui perdent, malheureusement leur enracinement à une culture et qui ont de moins en moins leur identité propre. C'est aussi un hommage à la Terre, qui est source vitale pour l'être humain et qui se détériore de jour en jour.
Lieu
Palais des Beaux-Arts
Dates
Vendredi 29.06.2007 - 20:30
Prix
€ 20,00

Tickets at Bozar website.
