Minna en el Mundo: The Legacy of Flamenco in Finland Lives on

In February, during the cold and dark Finnish winter, the Helsinki flamenco scene celebrates. My thoughts and sentiments of the inaugural club and Perintö elää (Legacy Lives on) concert of the 22nd edition of Helsinki Flamenco Festival are now published in the Minna en el Mundo section of the blog.

Minna en el Mundo: Flamenco in my heart

Flamenco is an endless challenge and the greatest reward that brings me strength, joy and determination. This past week has been once again a very meaningful one, as we have celebrated Helsinki XXI Flamenco Festival.

My thoughts on the challenges and rewards realized this week can be read as the first flamenco post of year 2019 on the Minna en el Mundo page of this blog.

NB! The thought of having flamenco in my heart has been borrowed from flamenco singer Anna Murtola.
