Two years we didn't really have Días de Flamenco. Once it has been cancel in the last moment because of the Covid19. Once it was watching through the internet for few days. Recently - also Eva Agmon, the founder of Adi Foundation who do this festival has been passed away. Some others has been taken the managment of the foundation. Now, first festival since Covid19 and the death of Eva Agmon. I missed the festival. Israel Galvan is the main thing. Long story, although it's Israel Galvan and I missed the festival - I had enough this time only to see his show. He came with the show "La Edad de Oro". The hall was almost full. Many people who came to see - I know them, but I'm always surprised that I don't know all the people who come to see flamenco shows at Tel Aviv. One of them was sitting next to me. She behaved liks she's a big star, but who the f**k is she? And how does all the craziest sitts next to me? Well, I won't get into it. I lost my power for this sh**.
OK, so the important thing:
La Edad de Flamenco
Dance: Israel Galvan
Singer: David Lagos
Guitar: Alfredo Lagos
Well, the stage was pretty empty, microfones, three chairs and three people. Still Israel Galvan was all over the stage. The very few things, more than one martinete - minimalism could be really big. If you you have some talent - that could be more than enough. And on stage were three people loaded with talent. Long show. Most of the time Israel Galvan was dancing. It was impossible to look anywhere else because he's talent hypnotist. There are moment that he gave the musicnas the respet and let them to make some music without his dance. Those moments of only music where megical as well. And there were few moments of humor in the show. Maybe it's weird of me, but I have lots of respect for performers who use humor in their shows. The clothes that Israel Galvan was wearing weren't ordinary clothes for flamenco. Accept the shoes.... Something like half a show he was wearing a couple of black flamenco shoes, kind of middle of the show he went out of stage to change for a couple of white flamenco shoes. The only thing that has been changed in clothes. One more thing that a little shocked me: his finger nails were painted in black. He's a flamenco dancer, not a gothic rocker. And about minimalism.... I don't remember the order of all palos and dances (first time that I saw this show and it isn't written in the program), and I guess that nothing that I will write will be enough
