Javier Heredia
Singer/Dancer
Born in Seville, Javier Heredia
inherited a knowledge of cante and baile casero from his father and his grandfather. He worked on the docks of Seville's
Guadalquivir River until his talent as a singer-dancer was recognized by the patriarchs of Seville's flamenco
community.
He toured as a soloist with Manuela Carrasco's company in 2004 and has performed repeatedly in the Bienal de Sevilla, the
Mont de Marsan
Festival in France and other important Spanish flamenco festivals. He has toured the USA as a member of
Arte y Pureza and has worked with Jose Mercé,
Arcangel, Manuel Molina, El Extremeño, and Juana la del Pipa
amongst others.
"...a triumph!"
- New York Times
Cihtli "La
Gallardí" Ocampo
Dancer
Described as a "...young, powerful dancer." by Dancemagazine, La Gallardí
is known for her strength and power while maintaining an elegance of line that
comes from a lifetime of dancing. She
moved to Sevilla, Spain in 1999 to train exclusively with the legendary Farruco family. In 2004 she was incorporated
into
the family's company and she has performed throughout Spain and the US with "Alma Vieja" and "Familia Farruco".
She was the featured female dancer in the film Exils by Tony Gatlif (Vengo, Latcho Drom) and is currently the lead dancer
and assistant director of Arte y Pureza Flamenco Company. She currently
resides in Lebrija, Spain with her husband, Ethan
Margolis.
"As guided by master guitarist Ethan
Margolis, [Cihtli] Ocampo may be the most
dramatic figure
on-stage this year."
- Pittsburgh Magazine
