In Entre Primas, three women are going to take the world on a journey to explore the depths of flamenco with its original compositions, through the guitar of Antonia Jiménez, the voice of Alicia Morales and the percussion of Nasrine Rahmani. As a celebration of the amazing achievements of female artists in this genre, the trio joins Flamenco Festival London with a show, both intimate and expansive, that aims to unveil traditional flamenco flavours from a contemporary perspective.
