Pedro El Grana\u00edno, Jes\u00fas M\u00e9ndez, Antonio Reyes and the flamenco musical Venta de Vargas<\/em> lead the lineup for the 4th edition of the M\u00e9rida Flamenco Festival, which this year pays tribute to flamenco legend Juan Pe\u00f1a “El Lebrijano”. From October 18 to November 8, the Teatro Mar\u00eda Luisa will host this essential celebration of flamenco art in Extremadura.<\/p>\n

The M\u00e9rida Flamenco Festival returns in 2025, firmly established as one of the key flamenco events in western Spain. Its fourth edition will take place entirely at the Teatro Mar\u00eda Luisa from October 18 to November 8, showcasing major names in both traditional and contemporary flamenco.<\/p>\n

This year’s edition pays tribute to Juan Pe\u00f1a “El Lebrijano”<\/strong>, recipient of the Festival Honorary Award, accepted by his daughter at the official presentation. A key figure in 20th-century flamenco, El Lebrijano was known for his groundbreaking approach, blending deep traditional roots with Arab-Andalusian and symphonic elements, and for his lifelong advocacy of the Romani people and flamenco culture.<\/p>\n
