Joonas Widenius is based on the melodies of the flamenco guitar, but his distinctive melodic language is constantly influenced by his surroundings. On his guitar concert, he will perform traditional Spanish flamenco tunes and, in addition to these, his own flamenco guitar works. In the second set of the evening, we get to meet many more artists, among them Elin Erika Almén, who is originally from Östersund but has been a permanent resident of Seville since 2005. She is trained at the Fundación Cristina Heeren in dance and singing but has also lived in Japan for four years there and taught flamenco and oriental dance.

As always, the second set on FlamencoFriday is a traditional tablao set with traditional flamenco but this time it’s all laced with villancicos, Spanish Christmas carols!
