Flamengo

Mythical Women series.

Tribute to Carmen Amaya was born in Barcelona in 1913 and died on the 19th November 1963. She was a gypsy dancer who was to become one of the most outstanding “bailaoras” (female flamenco dancers) of the twentieth century; she was also one of the most imitated.
Her hard masculine style of dance was often copied, but many believe she was inimitable and to this day there has never been a dancer to match her ferocious style of dance. Her fast rattling foot work became her trait and it is said that on several occasions she actually put her foot through the stage while performing.
