Get ready for an unforgettable night as ten of Canada's leading flamenco and global music singers, dancers and musicians share the stage together for the very first time.

Atlantic Flamenco and FabCollab's Women in Song are thrilled to bring this electrifying collaboration to Halifax for one night only. At the heart of the evening is Tamar Ilana & Ventanas, a six-piece ensemble whose sound traverses far beyond flamenco — weaving together Balkan rhythms, Mediterranean melodies, Middle Eastern textures, and global folk traditions into a sound entirely their own. Fierce dance, soulful vocals, and virtuosic musicianship come together in a celebration of global collaboration.

Joining them is a powerhouse lineup of guest artists: Toronto-based flamenco dancer Lia Grainger, artistic director of Flamencolía Dance Company and lead dancer with the touring ensemble Fin de Fiesta Flamenco; Halifax's own Maria Osende, a celebrated dancer and pillar of the local flamenco community; and vocalist Blanche Israël, bringing rich, evocative sound to the stage. Plus, a few special surprise guests will round out the night.

This isn't just a concert — it's a rare convergence of artists from across the country who've come together to create something entirely new. Expect blistering footwork, raw vocals, intricate guitar, and the kind of electric, in-the-moment energy that only flamenco fusion can deliver.

Whether you're a longtime flamenco fan or completely new to the art form, FLAMENCO FUSION FEST promises a night of passion, virtuosity, and connection that bridges cultures and communities.
