Israel, Spain
The intriguing musical encounter between Rafael de Utrera (vocals) and Noa Drezner (guitar) will transport you to a world of flamenco that you have never encountered. Rafael de Utrera’s extraordinary voice and traditional style combine with the music of Israeli singer-songwriter Noa Drezner, who crossed traditional gender boundaries to become one of the only women in the world to specialize in flamenco guitar.
Anyone who has seen de Utrera perform will never forget the voice that enveloped them and warmed their hearts. De Utrera, who has appeared with the greatest flamenco performers, such as Paco de Lucia and Vicente Amigo, comes to the Festival from Andalusia, bringing his powerful magic with him.
Drezner, who composed the melodies and produced the show especially for the Festival, invites the audience to experience a musical genre with ancient roots even as she shapes its future sound.
The show, which is influenced by the musical and cultural experiences Drezner accumulated during her years in Andalusia, features original flamenco works that she composed.
In this performance, tradition meets contemporary and the limits of gender are broken, giving us a profound and unforgettable cultural experience.
