Belén López: The Flamenco Star in the Cathedral
Only the greatest step onto the world’s oldest flamenco stage. This week, the incomparable Belén López brings her art to Madrid in an intimate and exclusive performance.
Isaac de los Reyes, a thoroughbred bailaor and one of the greats of his generation.
Isaac de los Reyes was born into a family where flamenco runs in the blood: son of the dancers and choreographers Ramón de los Reyes and Clara Ramona, and brother of Nino de los Reyes. He trained at the Amor de Dios school with masters such as María Magdalena, el Ciro, el Güito and Manolete.
He made his professional debut at just 14 in Luisillo’s company, and has since danced alongside great flamenco figures: el Güito, Manolete, Carmen Cortés, Antonio Canales and Joaquín Grilo, among others. His art has also led him to collaborate with top-tier musicians such as Enrique Morente, Josemi Carmona and Gerardo Núñez.
He was principal dancer of Antonio Gades’s company between 2010 and 2013, performing on the world’s most important stages. In 2019 he premiered his own show, El Jaleo, with music by Javier Limón and Paquete, earning wide acclaim.
Today he performs at the finest tablaos in Spain and is considered one of the great bailaores of his generation.
