THE GUARDIAN “Classy ode to classical flamenco.” This is how Lyndsey Winship from The Guardian describes “Romancero del baile flamenco” by @mercedesruizbailaora. “She is, as it happens, a demon on those castanets (same when it comes to finger clicks). It’s an ode to the art, which Ruiz has absorbed deeply and returns to us with a light touch, hands like fine lace, smile like warm sun.” Take a moment to relive her outstanding performance here:
