Zorongo Flamenco

Born of fire, rhythm, and raw emotion, flamenco is music that wears its heart on its sleeve. Driving guitar lines, percussive footwork, and anguished cries give voice to love and loss, longing and defiance. Passion is not merely suggested, but demanded. Rooted in the same Spanish soil that inspired Bizet’s Carmen, flamenco embodies the fierce independence, sensuality, and emotional volatility of the opera’s unforgettable heroine.

This special evening presents Minnesota’s Zorongo Flamenco Dance Theatre, one of the few American companies presenting both traditional and theatrical flamenco. Zorongo creates bold, socially relevant performances that bring the power and virtuosity of the art form to life while cultivating community through education and outreach. 

At the heart of the ensemble is guitarist Ross Fellrath, whose playing reflects deep immersion in the authentic flamenco tradition. Fellrath studied throughout Spain, absorbing the regional styles and rhythms that define the genre.
