Experience the unique and versatile techniques of Miguel Fernández Ribas, known as 'El Yiyo,' a talented flamenco dancer from Sant Roc, Barcelona, with roots in the Roma community.
Raised amidst flamenco sounds, he honed his skills by learning from online sources and embracing the technology of his generation — a YouTuber who learned more by dancing in front of a screen than in front of a mirror, according to Ribas. At just 18, he dazzled audiences in over 20 national and international festivals, performing alongside renowned flamenco artists.
Combining traditional flamenco with contemporary and classical dance training, El Yiyo offers a front-row look at what makes him stand out in the flamenco world. Prepare to be mesmerized by a truly unforgettable performance.
