FLAMENCO SAETAS
Antonio Carbonell, María del Mar Fernández, Caridad Vega

Friday
MAR 24 / 7:30 P.M.
MUN exhibition rooms
50 minutes
10€
 

Antonio Carbonell, María del Mar Fernández and Caridad Vega turn the rooms of the MUN into a street through which the steps of Holy Week pass to the rhythm of flamenco saetas.
 

The saetas are a melting pot of popular and devotional feelings towards the figure of Jesus and the Virgin that have also been configured musically as a genre of great diversity and complexity, as they are generally sung a capella.

The three singers will go through the halls of the Museum and will sing the feelings expressed by the flamenco saetas. A sensory experience to be transported to the mystical world of the Andalusian processions.
