JALEOS JONDOS

“A journey which takes flamenco from its essence to its cutting-edge present” Daniele Finzi Pasca

Jaleos Jondos is the new contemporary flamenco show created and directed by Daniele Finzi Pasca (director of Cirque du Soleil shows such as Corteo and Luzia), with direction and musical production by numerous Latin Grammy winner Javier Limón (Lágrimas Negras), choreography by José Maldonado and set design and costumes by the MAX theater award and artistic director of LETSGO, Felype de Lima.

This new LETSGO production, originally conceptualized by Iñaki Fernández, CEO and creative producer of the show, will transport the viewer from the origin of the gypsy diaspora to the new electrified sounds of current flamenco. A journey that teachers Finzi Pasca and Limón have taken, honoring the historical tradition of the 12 styles of flamenco and dividing the show into the 4 seasons of the year. This journey begins in the depths of winter, where soleares and seguiriyas will sound, and culminates with the arrival of bright spring, where fandangos and sevillanas will shine.

The scenery and costumes by Felype de Lima reflect a combination of pure blues that transform into dazzling golds and passionate reds as we progress on the journey. The chromatic selection is a reflection of the sea, the mountains and the passion of the gypsy people, who represent this culture from its origin in the Far East to its establishment in our fields to the rhythm of tanguillos and alegrías.

A show led to dance by the immense art of the great Carmela Greco, who in her role as matriarch transmits all the passion and tradition of this ancient art, accompanied by artists such as Saul Quirós on singing and Antonio Sánchez on guitar.

Jaleos Jondos is not just another flamenco show in the city of Madrid. Jaleos Jondos is a groundbreaking, profound and eclectic proposal that will transform Madrid culture and those who enjoy it.

Teatro Magno, is one of the most emblematic buildings of the city for its more than one hundred years of history. Its origin dates back to 1907 when it was built as a hall for cultural events under the name of "Salón Madrid".

After its first ten years, it renewed its essence to become a fronton hall for young ladies, a completely new place in the heart of the capital where women could enjoy this sport. It wasn't long until in 1920 when His Majesty Alfonso XIII, in love with the great actress of the time, Carmen Ruiz Moragas, decided to give her this room, renaming it Teatro Rey Alfonso. It was during this period that she returned to her roots and divided the floors to offer a variety of shows, fronton training and even an apartment where the renowned artist lived.

Among its historical landmarks, the room has housed from a Cinema X to the Cha Chá club in the 2000s, managing to establish itself as one of the strategic enclaves of the capital.

Nowadays, Teatro Magno is the house par excellence for flamenco shows and other disciplines and continues to be one of the most frequented nightclubs of the Madrid nightlife.

Thus, Jaleos Jondos arrives at its mythical stages to take a step forward and awaken a new concept of this ancient style in Madrid.
