To celebrate the recent UNESCO denomination of flamenco as a World Cultural Heritage, Hispanic Festival 2011 presents a vibrant flamenco programme premiering internationally acclaimed Paco Fernandez Company's Salud & Libertad (To Health & Freedom); a production where flamenco gipsy purity and contemporary expression coexist.

Paco Fernandez's company presents the best artists from Triana, Seville's flamenco and gipsy quarter, including the maestro Fernandez at the guitar, Jesús Flores' voice and the fabulously fierce dances of Lucía la Piñona and Oscar de los Reyes. Full of authentic gipsy rhythms, Paco Fernandez's ensemble promises to enthral the ever growing Edinburgh's Hispanic Festival audience.

If you want to have a first-hand flamenco experience with these artists, come and join the Flamenco Workshops on 7 October at Alba Flamenca. To book tickets call 0131 667 7033. For further information about this year's Hispanic Festival please visit their website at www.hispanicfestival.co.uk
