INTERNATIONAL FLAMENCO STAR JAIRO BARRULL & COMPANY PRESENTS

BARRULL

A FLAMENCO LEGACY IN THE UK

Explosive gypsy flamenco dancer Jairo Barrull, who is unmatched in his rapid footwork, presents his new show ‘Barrull, A Flamenco Legacy’ at various venues across the UK this year.

‘Barrull, A Flamenco Legacy’ is a show that reflects Jairo’s unique gypsy flamenco upbringing and his very unique personal style of footwork. A style that was pioneered by his father Ramón Barrull at the end of the 70s and later adopted and extended by Jairo into his own style, a dance style that is followed by many young contemporary flamenco dancers today.

Jairo Barrull, an internationally successful gypsy flamenco dancer from Seville, Spain, has been performing since he was 7 years old. His family are the well-known Amaya’s -Los Negros de Ronda, also known as the Diego Del Gastor family, whose artistic legacy stems back to the 19^th century. During his artistic career Jairo has performed with notable flamenco artists such as ‘El Chocolate’, José de la Tomasa, Concha Vargas, Juana Amaya, Angelita Vargas, Farruquito, Carmen Cortes, Antonio El Pipa and Gerardo Núñez.

Jairo has performed in prestigious theatres all over the world including the Dansens Hus, Stockholm, the Theatre Avenida, Argentina, the Orchestre National de Lyon Auditorium as well as a performance at the Vatican for the Pope John Paul II when has was just 13 years old. Jairo has also performed at the Alte Oper of Frankfurt with German juggler Francis Brunn in ‘Incognito’ and at the Berliner Philharmonie in 2003, where the German press repeatedly declared him ‘The Hope of Dance’. Jairo has appeared on RTVE, The Community Channel UK, Localia Morón and starred in the internationally screened flamenco documentary ‘Around the Streets of New York’ by Canal Sur, when performing on Broadway with a flamenco troupe when he was 15 years old.
