A Latin GRAMMY-nominated contemporary flamenco duo from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain.
Together for over three decades and both from renowned gypsy family dynasties, Idelfonso de los Reyes (“Pelé”) and Francisco Carrasco (“Curro”), have captivated fans all over the world with their eclectic sound compositions — flamenco roots with blues, rock, latin and even hip hop.
Navajita Plateá has shared the stage with artists such as Chuck Berry and many others. Their legendary song “Noches de Bohemia” has been featured and sung by groups such as MANÁ and The Kelly Family and in collaboration with top artists such as Concha Buika, Alba Molina, Moraito Chico, Diego Carrasco, Ana Belén, Manzanita, El Sorderita, and Jarabe de Palo.
Their first album Navajita Plateá was the soundtrack for the film “Días Contados” by Imanol Uribe. Their second album “Contratiempos” took them directly to the Billboard charts, obtaining their first GOLD record with their hit “Frío Sin Ti.” Their third album “Desde mi Azotea” received TRIPLE PLATINUM status, and “Noches de Bohemia” was the Best Song of the year at Spain’s Music Awards. Their fourth album, “Hablando en Plata” was nominated for a Latin Grammy and their fifth album “En Familia,” was recorded live and positioned them as the top-selling artist of contemporary flamenco.
Navajita Plateá will be joined by friends including celebrated artist María Bermúdez, who was recently honored as an Embajadora del Flamenco de Jerez (Ambassador of Flamenco), with award winning dancer Manuel Gutiérrez, whose prolific career has taken him around the world, and the wonderfully talented performance artist, Timo Nuñez.
The show is presented by Flamenco Santa Barbara and Flamenco Live Productions. Flamenco Santa Barbara is a local nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to authentic flamenco through performances, music and dance education, and student scholarships.
