Alburquerque, the epicentre of flamenco in the United States
The Alburquerque Flamenco Festival returns after the pandemic with a multitude of Spanish artists who will turn New Mexico into the epicentre of flamenco in the USA.

The city of Albuquerque, in New Mexico, United States, celebrates the 35th edition of its Flamenco Festival from 11 to 18 June.

Alburquerque will breathe flamenco, becoming a cultural epicentre of flamenco. One of the objectives of this cultural event is to preserve and promote flamenco, the history and culture of this art form among national and international communities.
Performances and workshops
In addition, the Festival will include more than 30 workshops covering many aspects of flamenco, including the history and development of the art form, dance, music and the unique sounds and rhythms of flamenco. These classes are designed for students of all ages and backgrounds, with the aim of creating a multicultural environment where knowledge of flamenco and personal growth is promoted.
The most outstanding activities are artistic exhibitions, conferences, book readings, performing arts, etc.
