A collaboration is when two ideas meet, dissimilar yet similar ; a beautiful merger of varied flavours, giving an experience far beyond the regular!

Bringing two different worlds together, Indian Flamenco artist Kunal Om and Kathak exponent Aditi Bhagwat have produced the collaborative idea : “FlamencoKathaa” - Kathak being the dance of the storytellers.

FlamencoKathaa is a blend of the two disciplines in their pure and collaborative form. With foot tapping being at the crux of both styles, Flamenco and Kathak seamlessly overlap creating rhythmic patterns and nuances unique and new to the two dance forms.

Why Flamenco and Kathak?

The roots of Flamenco can be traced back to the gypsy traditions in Rajasthan; artists (gypsies and nomads) travelled from Rajasthan (India) to as far as Romania, Egypt, Hungary and then took permanent abode in Spain thereby creating the legacy of the Spanish Flamenco.

One of the three schools of Kathak dance is in Jaipur, Rajasthan and Aditi Bhagwat is a proud representative of the Jaipur lineage of Kathak dance.

The audience can see Aditi and Kunal weaving traditional Kathak repertoire and authentic Flamenco compositions together. The concert will showcase cajon, darbuka, violin, guitar, and the two dance styles. The repertoire includes Flamenco-Kathak duets, melodies and foot tapping rhythms that will certainly leave the audience spell bound!
