At the Flamenco Evening in January, we will show the beauty of Seville's art – the only concert in Poland will be attended by an excellent dancer from Seville - Asunción Pérez "Choni". She will be accompanied by a flamenco singer Borja Soto from Seville, and Damian Kowaliński, a graduate of the Seville school, will play the guitar. Master dance, singing and guitar will take us for a moment to southern Spain and will not disappoint fans of flamenco puro.
