Amador Rojas

One of Spain's leading gypsy flamenco dancers, Amador Rojas, will be performing in Puerto Flamenco 2005 at Pinto Wharf this weekend.

Mr Rojas started dancing at the age of seven under the tuition of the legendary El Farruco and has since toured the five continents, captivating audiences with his temperamental and raw gypsy style of dance.

He forms part of today's leading flamenco company, Eva La Yerbabuena, with which he participated at the Bienal de Flamenco de Sevilla. He has also performed in theatres in London, New York and Japan.

Mr Rojas was invited to Malta by one of the island's flamenco exponents in Seville, Francesca Grima, and percussionist Andrej Vujicic - the brains behind and the talent at the forefront of the dance spectacle that is featuring some of Seville's award-winning young artists.
