FLAMENCO JAZZ NIGHT

Combining the saxophone and flamenco vocals and succeeded in building an extraordinary bridge between jazz and flamenco, Antonio Lizana will introduce Flamenco Ensemble, the project which he designed exclusively for Akra Jazz Festival and where Flamenco dancers and singers perform, to the audience in Antalya for the first time.

The artist, who was naturally born into flamenco in San Fernando -where the famous flamenco singer Camarón de la Isla was also born- performs flamenco dance, deep songs and dynamic improvisations on stage.
