Direct from Sevilla, Jasmin y Andrius, bailaora & guitarrista extraordinaire! Experience this captivating flamenco partnership for the first time in Australia. Joining them are Chachy Penalver, Byron Mark and Zoe Velez

Flores de Sevilla (flowers of Seville) will pay homage to the more ecstatic and colourful side of flamenco – so illustrative of Andalucía. Just as an array of vivid floral hues adorn the streets of Seville, our artists will adorn the stage with a wild and colourful tribute to the flamenco of this flamenco city. 

Over the past 5 years, Jazmín Centeno and Andrius Masilionis have been working professionally in the tablaos (cabarets) and flamenco venues of Sevile. They’ve travelled internationally as invited guests to perform and teach in Europe, South America and Asia. Their craft is finely honed and their connection on stage is inspiring to watch. 

Chachy Peñalver will also bring her superb flamenco artistry to ‘Flores de Sevilla’ and is set to delight us with her extraordinary arte, once again. Accompanied by the cante of Zoe Velez and captivating cajon of Byron Mark – this show will certainly be one to remember!
