DESPITE Covid-19 causing the suspension of countless events all over the world, Lo Ferro was not going to let the situation mean the cancellation of the 41st flamenco festival.

The spectacular and unique performance was crafted by: Bastián Contreras and Paquito Sánchez on cante, Antonio Fernández “El Torero” and family, Faustino Fernández on guitar and dancers, Carmen Contreras, Cynthia Cano, Mamen Baños and Soraya Sánchez, of the Lo Ferro Ballet directed by M.ª Dolores Ros, on a night that will remain etched in the memories of the viewers forever.
