The Art of Cadencia is a collaborative performance of two major music and dance styles; Flamenco and Tango. After two sold out shows for the 2015 Sydney Sacred Music Festival , this show features some of Australia’s best flamenco artists who have joined forces with dancers from Argentina, Spain and Australia, bringing you a raw, emotive and passionate performance exploring the sacredness of human connection through music and dance.

Flamenco and Tango come together in a powerful fusion to represent this idea. Tango is known as a modern day 'meditation' in dance and is a style most renowned for the powerful connection through the physical embrace of the dancers. Traditional Tango music in itself is raw - the distinct wailing sound of the singer or violin often represents nostalgia, loss and history. Unlike tango where the energy is almost like an internal shared connection between dancers, Flamenco artists draw energy from deep within, to expose raw and emotive rhythms, often telling their own experiences through the lyrics or dance. Flamenco also has the power to possess Duende- an ancient soul or spirit of flamenco which produces an emotional and personal response to the music by the artists or even the audience.

The Art of Cadencia will stir the rhythms and the spirit within you. Don't miss out!
