As one of the few celebrated festivals devoted to flamenco art outside of Spain, the Vancouver International Flamenco Festival nurtures flamenco’s hybridized roots in Sephardic, Persian, Gypsy and Indian cultures.
Running for over 20 years, VIFF is produced by Flamenco Rosario.

We strive to reflect flamenco’s diverse sociocultural identity through work narratives underlining the form’s universal message of humanistic tolerance.

With this explosive and visceral show, La Otra Orilla returns to the foundations of the art of flamenco.

Solo Flamenco is a virtuosic showcase of the variety of flamenco ranging from primal flamenco puro, to classical and fusion forms as Kasandra interprets traditional gypsy flamenco from Andalucia and multicultural Vancouver fusions with fluttering fans and manton de Manila silk shawl.

“Cuadro” flamenco is a constant interplay of jazzy improvisation between musicians and dancer. The group transports the audience like magic! With emotional and musical chemistry, soniquete and power, the Kasandra Flamenco Ensemble ignites the audience to an uproar.  Kasandra is also pleased to present a cameo by Mozaico Flamenco.
